I was listening to CNN the other day while drawing this cartoon. They
were driving very hard to the hoop by attempting to tie the alt right
movement with Trump. Every other word they used seemed to be 'racist.'
This is the crazy, name-calling atmosphere in which we now must all live
and breathe. The country is increasingly being divided into two camps:
Good and Evil. The liberals see themselves as the 'good' and claim the
conservatives are evil, racist, Hitler-loving Nazi bigots. Naturally we
on the right see good as being on
our side. We're disgusted when
they send jobs overseas. We can't stand the rampant corruption and
rigging of the game in their favor. We're fed up with wide open borders.
Hillary advocates an 'open hemisphere,' that is, anyone can waltz in
and get free stuff while voting for Democrats. The lefties hope that an
influx of 'immigrants' will vote to take away what freedoms we have
left--especially our 2nd Amendment.
But I digress. During the election season, the alternative media whooped
the 'mainstream,’ in the ratings game. Young people in particular
refuse to read newspapers or watch the globalist disinfo channels on TV.
More people would rather check the Drudge Report or Zero Hedge than
CNN. The mainstream has become the 'legacy media.'
Therefore, the legacy media are panicking and attempting to paint the
alternative media with a broad brush of Hitlerism. "Alt Right" suits
them for that goal because it sounds vaguely like 'Third Reich.' Most
liberals are carrying the propaganda ball on social media to spread the
fear. They warn about ominous boogeymen on the alt right who are out to
destroy liberal values. It's a new form of McCarthyism. Literally.
Hillary and the left are trying to spark a new cold war with Russia.
There's no reason America and Russia can't be allied in trying to halt
the spread of radical Islam.
But I digress again. I watched the streaming video from a convention
center in Washington DC, where alt right personalities such as Richard
Spencer, Peter Brimelow and Kevin MacDonald had gathered to speak their
minds. Most there supported Donald Trump. This event was then used by
CNN to smear Trump and drum up fear—usually involving some vague
conspiracy about a Nazi takeover in America. Balderdash.
None of the speakers advocated violence. They expressed their views in a
civilized and reasonable manner. I certainly didn't agree with
everything they said. But agree or disagree, it's their right of FREE
SPEECH. If it's not protected, then it's a matter of time before any
political speech not approved by the collectivists gets shut down. Obama
has already hinted that he wants this. He claimed the Internet had
become the 'wild west' and that order was needed. The New World Order,
of course. "Folks need a place where they can find the truth,” he said.
Places such as CNN, right Obama? Sorry, that won't work anymore. That's
why he's anxious for an Internet that is 'controlled' by a globalist
bureaucracy. It will be set up to demonize and shut down anyone stepping
out of line. That's why Obama was anxious to give away control of the
Internet to his buddies at the UN.
Such demonization has already been occurring. Twitter, Google, FaceBook et
al., have begun to silence those who aren't in alignment with things
such as open borders, climate change and 'free' trade. People can be
shut down for disseminating so-called 'false news.'
Liberals and the SJWs are living in fear. They claim that these are dangerous, perilous times. That danger emanates from
themselves.
They're the ones who want people humiliated and fired for holding un-PC opinions.
They're the ones who have exhibited violence.
They’re the ones who want to see Trump assassinated.
They're the ones who are intolerant of opinions unaligned with their narrative of the world.
They're
the ones who seem anxious to give away our freedoms in the name of
security. They do this to feel good about themselves while smugly
strutting their so-called moral superiority. It's all about virtue
signaling.
It's CNN's right to call everyone with whom they disagree 'racist.' It's
our right to laugh at them because their rancid flower of their
ridiculousness has reached full bloom.
