Is the pendulum beginning to swing? More on leftist hate in Portland from Danny Westneat of the Seattle Times.
... of all people.
Here's the thing: leftist politics are hate. From start to finish.
Leftists don't want to hear it if you're smart enough to disagree with their warped view.
And that is their privilege. It's also how it should be... if they are so inclined.
The problem?
They don't extend that courtesy to anyone else.
Leftist hate comes neatly wrapped in a variety of packages... and all of them have one singular aim: to silence their opposition.
Speakers on college campuses positioned anywhere to the right of Mao are routinely chased off or shut down.
Odd, isn't it?
When was the last time conservatives rioted over a leftist speaker? When was the last time a college campus cancelled a leftist... or even a terrorist... speaker because they couldn't guarantee his/her security?
And now, the wheels have come off the Wheeler Administration in Portland, Oregon... a center of fringe-left hatred and neocommunism.
A tragedy took place. Two men were killed and one severely injured by a Bernie-supporting nutjob. In his position and grand-high poobah of all things communist in Portland, Ted Wheeler, the mayor of Sodom on the Willamette, decided to use the Constitution of the United States as his own personal roll of toilet paper and demand... DEMAND, mind you, that the federal government pull a permit... issued months ago... for a pro-democracy, pro-America rally scheduled for June 4.
Wheeler, of course, has no legal right to stop these protests.
But more importantly, Wheeler has no moral right to speak out against them. And the ACLU of Oregon?
They, effectively, told Wheeler to go pound sand.
I rarely agree with Westneat. I rarely agree with the ACLU because far too often, it appears that their angst has been limited to issues that concern the rights of the political left over the political right.Here's the thing: leftist politics are hate. From start to finish.

1. The government cannot revoke or deny a permit based on the viewpoint of the demonstrators. Period. https://t.co/P9gcNPAumH— ACLU of Oregon (@ACLU_OR) May 29, 2017
2. It may be tempting to shut down speech we disagree with, but…— ACLU of Oregon (@ACLU_OR) May 29, 2017
3. once we allow the government to decide what we can say, see, or hear, or who we can gather with— ACLU of Oregon (@ACLU_OR) May 29, 2017
4. history shows us that the most marginalized will be disproportionately censored and punished for unpopular speech.— ACLU of Oregon (@ACLU_OR) May 29, 2017
5. We are all free to reject and protest ideas we don't agree with. That is a core, fundamental freedom of the United States.— ACLU of Oregon (@ACLU_OR) May 29, 2017
6. If we allow the government to shut down speech for some, we all will pay the price down the line.— ACLU of Oregon (@ACLU_OR) May 29, 2017
And, I would have bet good American money that such would have been the course they would take here... the far less resistant course of finding an excuse to go along with Wheeler's program.
But they didn't.
They not only took the road less traveled: in Oregon, they took the road few have even ever heard of.
And Danny Westneat of the left-leaning Seattle Times are lauding them for it.
As they should. As well all should.
