Why liberals are crushing dissent

What was the biggest suprise of Election Day?



Liberals are actively undermining first amendment rights to free speech by trying to crush opposing views.

Growing ever bolder in their naked grab for power they are leaving scorched earth behind those who disagree with them. This is why Dick Gephardt, Joe Lieberman, and Zell Miller no longer find themselves included in the modern Democratic Party. What is left over for the Democrats are wildly anti-American, anti-God, and anti-biblical leftists who are now bragging about their use of brute force to crush the voices of those who disagree with them.

Perhaps that's why this week in one of the boldest moves yet by a sitting liberal, Democrat Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez proclaimed, "The real purpose of SB 1437 is to outlaw traditional perspectives on marriage and family in the state school system."

He continued, "The way you correct a wrong (perspective) is by outlawing.’Cause if you don't outlaw it, then people's biases tend to take over and dominate the perspective and the point of view."

Nunez's solution to the people he disagrees with is to outlaw their ability to disagree with him.

And Nunez's viewpoint is one that pervades liberals in his party and in the nation. That is why Nunez and his fellow democrats in the California State Assembly voted in unison to pass four bills that are all designed to punish people who disagree with them. To incarcerate someone for daring to criticize a different point of view - over a purely behavioral issue.

The bills in question have passed both houses and await Governor Schwarzenegger's signature or veto. The bills were unanimously embraced by the Democrats and universally denounced by the Republicans.

But do they say?

These four bills would require that in every classroom from kindergarten through high school that perverse sexual activity be praised and highlighted in a positive light. They would require textbooks many of which would then also be produced for other states beyond the borders of California make positive references to the ideas of men putting on women's under things. They would restrict school districts from being able to bar females from displaying dildos on the outerwear of their prom dress. And in functional sexuality courses from K-12 they would require positive explanation of the merits and instruction of anal intercourse.

These four bills are also dangerous in what they outlaw. No single teacher - not even in science classes - would be allowed to talk about the negative health impact of homosexual behavior. No school counselor would be allowed to confirm to a molested student that they felt wrong about continuing in a homosexual relationship that they were primarily drawn into because of earlier molestation to begin with. No mention of moral aspects of sexual behavior would be permitted unless immoral activity were praised and in fact referred to as moral.

In other words the pushing of the sexual envelope would be unleashed with a nitro-fueled explosion the likes of which has never been seen in America's history.

The liberals in the state assembly knew that the average Californian would never support these radical measures, but they also knew that they will not be up for re-election this year and they are counting on Californians having very short term memories.

But one of the bills goes a step further. Its actual purpose is to cripple any state resources such as fire department or police protection for any religious institution (i.e. a Bible based church) that would in any way demonstrate negative "doctrine" or "propaganda". So if an arsonist (who also just happened to be a radical activist) decided to burn down a church that was in their view teaching the faithful interpretation of scripture as it relates to sexual practice - then the local fire company could be barred from assisting in the recovery and protection of said facility.

So why are liberals going to such extremes to shut down and shut out any opposing view? Continued...

Are all of you crazy?
To all those who read this article and actually believed everything McCullough said: Shame on you. Are you out of your minds? Did any of you actually read the bills?

All this is is angry propeganda.

For starters, he only sites one of the bills in his article, and it has nothing at all to do with his case. SB-1437 just says that you can't teach a curriculum that discriminates on a basis of sexual orientation, ethnicity, etc. Sounds legit to me, but he didn't talk about it at all in his article.

McCullough spends the entirety of his time stating absolutes with a fire and brimstone tone, discussing how the bills could POSSIBLY be interpreted and once again, not even mentioning what the articles were even about.

Somehow, acknowledging the existence and role of homosexuals in history translates into "Liberals want schools to praise casual sex and teach you how to have good anal sex". Please.

So to all of you that were "shocked" by this article...I was too. I was shocked that anyone that actually read those bills agreed with this guy.

This raises some questions
The majority of Americans do not embrace this kind of legislation. Those in power did not get there because of this platform when campaigning for office. If in fact they think this is ok and our democratic politicians peruse this line of thinking and expect to get re-elected and then do get re-elected it proves one thing, our voting system is not controlled by the people, it is controlled by those in power and election fraud is a fact. It no longer matters how you vote as those in power will produce a result they want not one we want. Speak out to loudly and you may get knocked off by our power elite. We have to ask ourselves these questions: Are we being prepared for a totalitarian regime? Is the so called gun control movement by our liberal left a way to stop our protest and prepare us for the escalation of Tyranny in the name of safety? What in the heck are they thinking? Where in the heck have these people come from?
