The White House has come out to defend the rights of Americans to express dissent against the Israeli state and support for the Palestinians and/or Hamas. Some of these Americans even support the acts of terror committed by Hamas, justifying it with claims that Israel does the same. Having such a reprehensible position as defending true terror is still an American right and one this writer supports, but seeing the White House defend the right to free speech while it supports corporate economic executions of Americans who dare dissent against their policies, such as abortion and the “normalization” (which is a dog whistle for “forced preference and acceptance”) of homosexuality, makes their latest appeal to free-speech rights ring hollow.
Still, this writer echoes the sentiment of White House press Secretary Harine Jeane-Pierre when she said in support of Americans’ rights to express reprehensible views (not that supporting the Palestinians is reprehensible, it’s supporting Hamas that’s reprehensible), “I would just tell you that you don’t have to agree with every sentiment that is expressed in a country like this to stand by the First Amendment and the idea of peaceful protest…We’re always going to denounce antisemitism, but at the same time people have the right to peacefully protest.”
She’s conveniently American when its power can be used to support her side, but decidedly not when it comes to the rights of Americans to dissent against abortion or “gay rights” (which, again, aren’t “rights,” they are privileges, to create a class of people about which nothing “bad” can be said about them publicly without market or even state coercive powers being brought to bear to silence that dissent). It’s ok to hate the Jews publicly, but not the “people of color” or the LGBTQplusplusplus crowd.
Yet, this writer still supports the right of even Progmericans to voice dissent and to “peacefully,” not violently (as is more often the case when it comes to progmericans, who view true Americanism as a dog whistle for their boogeyman of all boogeymen that give them their “right” to murder their neighbors, white supremacism). Cancelling people from the market or from higher institutions of learning for having reprehensible views is very rarely representative of the American Rule of Law spirit.
It’s nice to see the Biden administration visiting American when it works in their favor. It would be even nicer if they stayed, but then they’d have to live with the consequences of action even if it doesn’t empower them to re-imagine America into the progmerican dream, where liberty dies in the name of “protecting the disenfranchised” as defined by the elite few who fund the vast majority of the machine the progmericans have built to destroy America from within.
