Jim Quinn talked about this on his morning
show that I listen to. (Quinn is a political
conservative and usually refers to himself as a
civil libertarian.) Anyways, he had no sympathy
for this girl getting booed off stage. His point
was that it's about time that liberals finally got
theirs. For years, academia had catered to the
liberal viewpoint, and done all it could to
squash conservative viewpoints on campus.
Whenever David Horowitz or Clarence
Thomas actually are invited to speak on a
campus, there's massive protesting put up by
students and faculty, but it's perfectly all right
for some Marxist to come lecture, because
after all, that's the political philosophy shared
by the vast majority of academia.

Quinn also had to take issue with the massive
contradiction being put forth by liberals now.
For years, liberals have been the ones telling
us how many trees we should plant on our
golf course (some guy in VA or MD was jailed
recently for not complying), telling us what
religious symbols we're allowed to see and
which we aren't, telling us that you don't need
to work hard: we here at Government House
will just send you a check, telling us that we
don't need to have a semi-automatic weapon
in our homes for protection. For years they've
been telling us we don't really need all these
rights we have. And now all of a sudden,
they're on the individual rights bandwagon.
Why? Quinn doesn't get it, and nor do I.

Quinn is tired of liberals always wanting to
silence the right, simply because we
disagree. Liberals are the ones who want to
push "hate speech" legislation that makes it
illegal for me to say that I believe
homosexuality is wrong. Liberals are the ones
who tried to get Dr. Laura thrown off the air for
believing that homosexuality is wrong, and for
saying so. Liberals are the ones who tried to
ignore Matt Drudge as he investigated and
reported on the Clinton scandals. So Quinn
here has no sympathy for the left when they
are finally silenced by the right. It's about time
you got yours.
