To give readers a break from my blog posts about how much contempt I’ve come to feel for the political left that I used to be a part of, I periodically post these articles about others who have come to feel the same way.
In this case it’s Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report fame. The link to the full item is below. First some excerpts:
“Do you believe in free speech?
“Do you believe that people should be judged by their character, not their skin color?
“Do you believe in freedom of religion?
“If you believe these things, you’re probably not a progressive. You might think you’re a progressive. I used to think I was. My show, The Rubin Report, was originally part of the progressive The Young Turks network.
“Progressives used to say, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it.” Not anymore.
“Banning speakers whose opinions you don’t agree with from college campuses – that’s not progressive.
“Prohibiting any words not approved of as ‘politically correct’ that’s not progressive.
“Putting ‘Trigger Warnings’ on books, movies, music, anything that might offend people – that’s not progressive either.
“All of this has led me to be believe that much of the Left is no longer progressive, but regressive. This is one of the reasons I’ve spent so much time on my show talking about The Regressive Left. Continue reading
“Here in (Ivory Tower)-land things become what they are called rather than being called what they are.” – From Aristophanes’ satire 
Balladeer’s Blog has long been a proponent of the need for Third Parties here in America. Those additional political parties would provide much-needed competition to the corporate owned Democrats and Republicans who hijacked our electoral system long ago. 
BALLADEER’S BLOG: And I imagine the Harry Truman comparison is the obvious shared trait? 
Vincent Tolliver (pictured) has decided to sue the Democrat’s National Committee for breaching his due process rights and his right to free political expression. Tolliver was among the candidates for the new DNC Chair, but was expelled for pointing out that another candidate – Muslim Democrat Keith Ellison of Minnesota – might not be the best chairman because of Islam’s intolerant views on homosexuality. 
Welcome to another member of the real-life League of Extraordinary Women: Dr Qanta Ahmed, one of the heroic Muslim women who courageously takes on radical Islam. The news outlets of the Democrats always try to ignore Muslims like her since the ONLY Muslims politically useful to the Left are those who hate the West and take offense at all things modern.
“(W)e see it as very pragmatic. Muslim minorities that are persecuted badly in Pakistan and other places were thrilled that this draft wording includes penalizing those that commit honor violence or persecution of minorities. A lot of Muslims are subject to that. So, I think there is a positive feeling.” 
In one of the FUNNIEST stories of the decade it turns out that many spoiled and whiny American Democrats trying to move to Canada to escape their AntiChrist Trump are being TURNED BACK BECAUSE OF CANADA’S IMMIGRATION POLICIES WHICH EXCLUDE THOSE WHO “WON’T CONTRIBUTE TO THE ECONOMY.” 
And the laughs continue here in the U.S. as the outrightly insane Trump-haters pretend that a 90 day ban on immigration from just SEVEN nations is deserving of all these drama queen antics. Yes, people, it’s TEMPORARY and it’s a type of action that plenty of previous presidents INCLUDING OBAMA have taken. 
The people foaming at the mouth over this action are the same people who fall to pieces over EVERYTHING Trump does. They don’t care that the nation supports common-sense moves like this and that – more importantly – the voters elected Trump to take these common-sense actions. 
Well, George Soros stated he would finance the largest phony “protest” crowds money can buy and that bloated rich pig obviously meant it. Supporters of California’s president Hillary Clinton have been such crazed and hysterical fools it helps you keep perspective by mentioning public figures who are rational about United States President Donald Trump: 
MARTIN LUTHER KING III – King met with Donald Trump on the holiday marking his father’s birthday. Like the other African American figures who have met with Trump, MLK III stated he believed the new President is sincere and would work with him. 
KARL MALONE – In regard to the absurdly paniced and overwrought public displays that Trump haters are humiliating themselves with, Karl Malone recently said “And I tell everyone out there that wants to protest and do all that, other countries are laughing.” Too true. 
America’s corporate media continues to flaunt its frantic abandonment of professionalism. Yesterday amid their usual flood of DemoKKKrat fan fiction they tried claiming that President Donald Trump got rid of a White House bust of Martin Luther King, Jr.
