Liberals’ hypocrisy
Here’s something to think about.
Gonzaga University originally denied Ben Shapiro, a conservative talk show host, to speak on campus because of “safety concerns.” The university was concerned that he would draw protests, including inappropriate behavior, as well as divisive and hateful speech which is offensive to many people.
Let’s see if I get this right. When Gonzaga has a liberal speaker, the conservatives don’t like it but are polite and respect the views of others and understand free speech rights.
When they have a conservative speaker the liberals stage protests and are mean and threatening. They think free speech only applies to their viewpoint.
It’s the same with national politics. When a liberal is elected, life goes on and there aren’t any riots or rude, insulting behavior. God help us if a conservative is elected. The liberals are like little kids having a temper tantrum
I think it boils down to their belief that they are smarter and better than the rest of us so they are above the law and can be disrespectful.
Let’s hope they grow up soon and act like adults.
