Dems Retreat from Price Controls, Free Abortions at the DNC, Dems Want No Specifics from Kamala

August 19, 2024 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Retreat from Price Controls, Free Abortions at the DNC, Dems Want No Specifics from Kamala” on Spreaker.

Jon Gabriel, the Undisputed King of Stuff and columnist for Discourse magazine and the Arizona Republic is in for Jim. Today, Jon and Greg remember daytime talk show host Phil Donahue, get a kick out of Democrats inching away from Kamala’s price control plans, condemn Planned Parenthood for offering free abortions and vasectomies near the Democratic National Convention, and react to Democrats not wanting any policy specifics from Kamala Harris until after the election. And they share what they wish Joe Biden would say in his convention speech tonight.
First, they offer a quick remembrance of Phil Donahue, the far left daytime talk show host who nonetheless wanted to have substantive conversations with people he disagreed with.
Next, they enjoy watching Democrats like Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer squirm when asked to defend the price controls on food proposed by Kamala Harris. They also stress what a terrible idea it is to think the government should be tasked with solving  inflation problem with more intervention.
Then, they recoil in horror as Planned Parenthood offers to provide free abortions and vasectomies at its mobile clinic near the Dems’ convention site. Worse yet, the schedule for both filled up quickly. Greg and Jon express their disgust at how cavalierly the left discards precious human life and how it uses that disdain to push forward its political agenda.
Finally, they examine the Dems being perfectly happy to let Kamala avoid specifics on issues until after the election. It shows how afraid they are if voters know just how radical their agenda. They also look ahead to President Biden’s convention speech tonight – both what it probably will include and what they really, really wish he would say about the intraparty plot to end his re-election bid.

‘The Brainwashing Is Very Effective’

April 17, 2017 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/4-13-mac-donald-blog.mp3

Liberal groupthink is nothing new on college campuses but resorting to violence and intimidation to stifle views contrary to the progressive orthodoxy is a dangerous escalation, according to a prominent scholar who was recently targeted by an angry mob of students and warns free speech is under fierce assault in the United States.

Earlier this month, the Manhattan Institute’s Heather Mac Donald experienced the hostility first-hand, while visiting the west coast, first at UCLA and then at Claremont-McKenna College.  Her visit to Claremont-McKenna was the most harrowing, with protesters blocking access to the auditorium where Mac Donald was to give her presentation.  Organizers then tried to have her speak via video access before the event was finally cancelled over security concerns.

“The day before Claremont-McKenna, I had an effort to storm the stage.  That was at UCLA.  At Claremont-McKenna was a blockade around the building where I was supposed to speak to prevent anyone from entering to be able to listen to me in person and interact with me.  That’s certainly the most extreme that I’ve experienced,” said Mac Donald.

Protesters targeted Mac Donald in response to her book “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe,” accusing her of being a racist and a fascist.

This is the latest in a series of campus unrest as a result of a speaker who does not subscribe to standard liberal views.  Riots broke out at the University of California at Berkeley when Milo Yiannapoulos was scheduled to speak.  A professor at Middlebury College in Vermont suffered a concussion while trying to protect American Enterprise Institute scholar Dr. Charles Murray.

Mac Donald says the intolerance of the left is reaching new heights.

“I had a direct experience of how a student body reacts to a non-conforming opinion.  It basically reacts like an immune system does, surrounding the alien virus with corpuscles to try to expel it from the body politic,” said Mac Donald.

“There is no an increasing insistence that everybody hew to the same line and that line is something very, very dangerous for the future of America.  It hold that this country is rife with oppression, that minorities in particular are the victim of non-stop bigotry and anybody who dares propose facts to the contrary is simply not to be tolerated,” said Mac Donald.

Colleges are often billed as the place to explore and compare different ideas, yet administrators seem to do little or nothing to punish students who stoke violence or prevent the exercise of free speech.

Mac Donald is not surprised.

“College administrators are reluctant to discipline students for clear violations of their rules for fear of alienating the parents, alienating the student darlings.  That’s a purely economic self-interest explanation for the passivity of administrators in the face of this,” said Mac Donald.

But she sees another factor at work as well.

“The campus bureaucracies are being colonized now by people of the left who believe in identity politics and have a stake in students thinking of themselves as victims because that necessitates, allegedly, an ever-growing student service and diversity bureaucracy,” said Mac Donald.

One of the great ironies of this campus groupthink for Mac Donald is the insistence the students are fighting fascism by forbidding alternative viewpoints to be expressed.

“I’m amazed anybody has the sheer gall to label themselves anti-fascist, who then says [they] are shutting down me, or Charles Murray or Ann Coulter and nobody else gets to hear that person without anybody taking a vote.  I mean it is the very definition of at least soft totalitarianism,” said Mac Donald.

Mac Donald says liberal academics are succeeding in their mission to groom the next generation to consider only the ideas of the far-left.

“The brainwashing is very effective.  Students are told that the police are racist and that mass incarceration is a reality aimed at re-enslaving blacks.  If you’re hit with that enough, you do start to believe it,” said Mac Donald.

As intimidation and violence becomes more common on campus, where does this kind of development ultimately lead our society?

“It ends badly,” said Mac Donald.  “These students graduate.  They take levers of power in government, in corporate HR departments.  They are absolutely committed to the view that America is profoundly racist, sexist, mysogynist, you name it.  They will put in policies to support that view,” said Mac Donald.

But in addition to the impact on the culture and the workplace, Mac Donald fears for the future of free speech.

“Traditionally, America has had the greatest degree of freedom of speech of any western, industrialized country.  There’s much stronger speech codes in Europe.  I think we could be moving in that direction and that means less and less possibility for correcting the errors that guide so many members of the cultural and political elite,” said Mac Donald.
