There are many reasons why the “cancel
culture” crowd is to trying to silence its opposition. Some reasons are rather
obvious. When you understand their “end game” things begin to make a lot more sense.
In the book, “Live Not By Lies” the foremost scholar on totalitarianism, Hannah
Arendt, is quoted as saying, “a totalitarian society is one in which an
ideology seeks to displace all prior traditions and institutions, with the goal
of bringing all aspects of society under control of that ideology. A
totalitarian state is one that aspires to nothing less than dictating and
controlling reality. Truth is whatever they rulers decide it is.” Sound
familiar? One of the ways this is accomplished is by silencing anyone who disagrees
with their ideology. Never in the history of America has this happened. This
has always been a place where a difference of opinion was not only tolerated but
encouraged. Until now, that is. Now the protocol seems to be, “If you publish
something on social media we don’t agree with, we “fact check” it or close your
account, or maybe even completely shut down your outlet for daring to disagree
with us.” Or if a company is owned by someone who doesn’t toe the party line, they
stop selling their product and try to run them out of business. If you believe
in and preach morality, they label it hate speech and attach a penalty. This is
not simply an attack on constitutional rights of Americans. This is the deconstruction
of the very principles which made this nation great.
Why do they want to silence us?
Because if they can stop our voice from being heard, then the only voice people
will hear is the one telling lies. They will then set the agenda and form the
society they want. Every day we allow that to happen, every day the opposition
gets louder, those who believe in truth and morality get more and more
discouraged, and finally give up. I’m already seeing it happen…and you are too.
Many of those who were outraged in November and January have abandoned the
fight and given up. Our so-called “conservative” political leaders have whimpered
their last complaints and have fallen into line. Our pastors have shrugged their
shoulders and decided to keep their jobs by playing it safe. God forbid they
would offend their left-leaning congregants, without whose offerings their
comfortable salary would dry up. From the top to the bottom and from one side
of the aisle to the other we are inundated with flaccid, amoral, disingenuous
leaders who are only concerned with whatever lines their pockets and numbs
their conscience.
You’ve heard it said that silence
is golden…well it’s not, at least not in this case. This isn’t a game; it is
not going away. Those who want control are not going to stop. They don’t give
up as easily as we seem to. If you care about this country, if you care about
freedom and if you care about all that is good and moral, you just cannot be silent.
Are you going to lose friends? Yes! Are you going to alienate family members?
Probably. Is it going to be inconvenient and more expensive to stand up for
what’s right? Without a doubt. Is it worth it? Absolutely it is, and honestly
if you don’t think it is, then you are part of the problem. Stand up, get loud,
quit supporting tyranny by being complicit and agreeable. Be a patriot. Be a Christian.
Be an activist. Be something…but do not be silent!
