I was a Dem for 40 years or so. No more.

What's insane about these people is they apparently actually believe we're going to take their "this is about FREE SPEECH!!!" seriously. This is the same mob that literally shuts down events where anyone whom they disagree with attempts to speak. They rip Israel flags out of people hands and burn them. They assault anyone they perceive as having a different opinion. They even killed a guy in Los Angeles in 2023 who was doing nothing other than holding an Israeli flag.

They hypocrisy of the left would be funny if it weren't destroying our country by the day. But what do they care? Look at these mobs: they're derelicts. Unemployed. Physically unhygienic. Violent. Incoherent. They have no stake in this country (by choice). All they want to do is burn it down to drag people who actually produce and contribute and succeed, into the gutter where the left voluntarily wallows.

Yes, the contemporary Left resembles nothing so much as Mr. Orwell’s inner Party…

Replacing American flag - speaks of their intentions, is anyone noticing?

Do you think perhaps Hitchens was being ironic in his characterizations of moral grandeur?

Oh no! He was quite serious, believe me.

He changed his tune on that subject.

Interestingly before moving to the US, marrying a US citizen, and almost immediately getting a green card, Khalil received a number of British scholarships and studied in England.

My guess he was recruited by one of the intelligence agencies to destabilize the US.

The Left’s hypocrisy on the matter may be “messenger shooting” when it comes to Khalil’s personal outcome, but it’s not “messenger shooting” with regard to how we all ought to regard the Left, which is as willful enemies of civilization.

As for the most meticulously curated “free speech” defenses of atrocities, most would absolve Hitler of guilt over leading the Nazis, since he never committed an atrocity himself but merely “spoke”.

Ultimately, we must mark the weasel words. Atrocious behavior is described as “something Trump doesn’t like” in order to make is seem wrong to prosecute it.
