One-sided freedom of speech

Well I see the “progressives” have ramped up their strategy of weaponizing the word “racist.” They have long wanted to use that word to discourage any disagreement with their way of thinking. If someone says anything the Left doesn’t like they just wail, “Racists!” and expect that to end the argument. It happened all the time when people had the audacity to disagree with Obama. Now they are using it when anyone agrees with Trump. They even attack minorities who agree with conservatism.

Since POTUS wants to put an end to the massive illegal immigration that the Left has encouraged for years and also protect America from radical Islamic terror, now even Islam has become a race and anyone wanting to limit its impact on America can now be labeled a “Racist.”

America has a problem when one side gets to dictate the rules they seek to impose only on the other side and limit them. George Orwell said it in his book “Animal Farm”: “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” Political correctness is not about decency but instead is an end run around freedom of speech and an attempt at limiting speech.
