The New York Times Discovers Free Speech

This is hilarious.

I was actually cracking up halfway through it.

   Now, don't be like me. Don't be distracted by the ad hominem. NYT sucks. Its editorial page is a rolling, flaming train wreck. And the train is made of horseshit.

   The editors of the NYT should be stricken mute for mentioning the name of Orwell.

   NYT might as well be Pravda.

   Here's a clue, leftards: purging gender pseudoscience from government sites is not a violation of free speech. In fact, it's undoing the batshit crazy nonsense the left has imposed on the government and the culture for a decade. It's as if your side had all suddenly become Scientologists, and infused tends of thousands of websites with drivel about Xenu and Dianetics and becoming "clear." Trump is undoing your abject madness.

   For a decade you totalitarian moonbats have suppressed speech and inquiry in the USA.

   And now Trump is undoing your moonbattery.

   Taking your Newspeak out of government websites is not only not a violation of the First Amendment, it's a rational imperative. Newspeak and the control of language is on the totalitarian left's main weapons.

   Undo it.

   Crush it.

   Commit it all to the dustbin of history.

   And as for the "Gulf of America" nonsense...well, here's my longstanding view of that: the left actual controls thought and speech by infusing its bizarrely effective pseudo-scholarly clown-talk into everything. The right gives us tongue-in-cheek dumbassery like "freedom fries."

   And "the Gulf of America."

   

   Now.

   Though NYT deserves our contempt, even a stopped clock, etc. A lot of what they write is lies or otherwise misleading. (See e.g. the Nazi ads BS on Twitter). Removing 'T' and 'Q' from the notoriously ever-expanding abbreviation is perfectly reasonable--there's no such thing as being transgender, and 'queer' is arguably a philosophical/political category. Pulling books from library shelves? Pray, what kind of books? You know what kind...

   Deporting legal immigrants for engaging in protected speech is nonsense, and the courts will slap it down hard--as they should.

   But, despicable though the big leftist lie machine is, free speech is too important to be made partisan. Sure, they're a gaggle of big, fat, lying hypocrites...but that doesn't mean they're never right about anything.

   Do not make the mistake of thinking that they care a single bit about freedom of speech.

   But we care.

   And we've got to hold Trump and company just as accountable as we have to hold the barking moonbats of the left.
