Strike The Root Blog

I was at the gym, walking to warm up for running on the treadmill. The television was tuned to Fox (and I can hear all the shrill screams from readers), and it would have been clear to anyone that I was paying attention, as my treadmill was immediately in front of the screen. An older woman, perhaps 55, walked up to the treadmill to my left, looked at the screen, walked back to the towel ledge, grabbed a remote, walked back, and changed the channel before I knew what was happening. Not to her daily soaps, but to one of the other politically-biased news outlets (it might have been MSNBC).

Weird. This woman was obviously a Fox-hater. It doesn’t really matter to me which broadcast outlet I get my lies from, but I said to her anyway, “You don’t think that’s rude?” She had her headphones on and just gave me a strange look. I didn’t feel like causing a scene, so I moved treadmills to another TV and watched Martha Stewart (apparently there is a dearth of watchable stuff on TV nowadays).

The left fascists look to control you in different ways from the right fascists, most notably by suppression of belief systems they don’t like. They love the idea of larger government, because it grants them a larger sphere that they can influence.

Don’t like religion? Great, all we have to do is claim something to be under control of the government, and then the religious nuts can’t speak freely. Don’t like conservative radio? Great, let’s re-institute the ignominiously named “Fairness Doctrine” to try and force your viewpoints. (I wonder, will the Fairness Doctrine apply to the heavily left narrowcasting of NPR?) Or great, let’s institute “hate speech” laws and collegiate speech codes. Don’t like groups of people lobbying the government? Great, let’s push the right fascists and left fascists to get together to establish “campaign finance reform.” So much for the first amendment.

The [censored] who changed the channel without asking is representative of what we are in for under the thumb of left socialists. Don’t like what other people say or want to hear? Use force to shut them up or to shut off their source of information.
