Recently during a phone call, a friend of mine asked my opinion on Glenn Greenwald.\u00a0 For those unaware Greenwald was involved in the Snowden NSA leaks and has written on many aspects of the government overreach on privacy issues. \u00a0He has of late been very critical of the lock step solidarity by the tech giants and the Democratic\/MSM complex to censor important news stories based on partisan viewpoint.<\/p>\n
During the phone call I was pretty heatedly adamant that Glenn Greenwald wasn\u2019t an ally, he was part of the Left and therefore my opponent.\u00a0 But thinking about it for a while I figure it\u2019s worthwhile clarifying exactly how I characterize guys like Greenwald and Taibbi.\u00a0 In a short phrase I\u2019d call them honest Leftists.\u00a0 They believe in most of the things that the woke psychos believe in but they also believe in the Bill of Rights.\u00a0 They don\u2019t think it\u2019s acceptable for the government to conspire with the media to railroad someone even if he\u2019s a no-good conservative.\u00a0 They probably don\u2019t mind if Google algorithmically advantages the Left and disadvantages the Right but they don\u2019t want it suppressing news outlets from broadcasting their stories across their platform.<\/p>\n
And when I see a Matt Taibbi story calling MSNBC and the New York Times hypocrites for running stories that they know are false in order to advantage the Democrats, I praise him.\u00a0 And when Greenwald is willing to walk away from the website that he founded because the owner forbids him to speak honestly about the Hunter Biden story then I praise him.\u00a0 And what I am praising is his honesty and moral consistency.\u00a0 And nowadays that\u2019s a lot.\u00a0 On left or right that\u2019s a rare thing.\u00a0 It\u2019s an admirable trait and deserves praise.\u00a0 It should be recognized and praised.<\/p>\n
What it\u2019s not is a reason to \u201creach across the aisle\u201d and try to form an alliance.\u00a0 That was the mistake that conservatives made with the neoconservatives.\u00a0 Conservatives thought that because both sides wanted a strong defense against the Russians and free market capitalism that we could join forces and work a compromise that would work to both sides\u2019 advantage.\u00a0 Instead we got a series of wars in the Middle East and a globalist financial agenda while they adopted all of the social policies of the far Left.\u00a0 That meant gay marriage, transgenderism, open borders, intersectionality in our schools and BLM in the streets.<\/p>\n
And as long as all of these things were slowly assimilated into the culture without violence in the street and approved by the Supreme Court voted in by the Uniparty then the neocons would be fine with it.\u00a0 And if you weren\u2019t fine with it\u00a0 then you were a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic bigot.\u00a0 And the same slippery slope goes double for Matt Taibbi and Glenn Greenwald.\u00a0 All they require is that all the i\u2019s are dotted and the t\u2019s are crossed.\u00a0 They are honest and they honestly want all the things that make life in America awful.\u00a0 The only difference is that they\u2019re willing to let you say what you think before they call you a racist homophobe.\u00a0 The woke people want to silence you so you can\u2019t even say it, or write it or even think it.\u00a0 They need to be dealt with drastically.\u00a0 They need to be put out of business.\u00a0 Taibbi and Greenwald can be ignored.<\/p>\n
Bottom line, I respect Taibbi and Greenwald.\u00a0 But they are not my friends, allies or partners.\u00a0 They are my enemies even if they are enemies whose honesty I respect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
