How the Left is Trying to Silence Conservative Voices and Views

"Google has scrubbed all internet searches ... of anything critical of jihad and Sharia. So if you Google 'jihad' and you Google 'Sharia' and you Google 'Islam,' you're going to get Islamic apologetics, you're going to get 'religion of peace.' Whereas my site used to come up top, page one for 'jihad' and 'Sharia' or 'Islam,' or JihadWatch did, you can't find it now. They scrubbed 40,000 Geller posts of Google." -Pamela Geller

[LifeSiteNews.com] Maybe you once thought the left wants tolerance and diversity, but in reality, tolerance and diversity have never been the goals of the left, especially the radical left. Instead, it wants to suppress and silence opposing views, and the farther left you go, the more extreme the intolerance. (Photo: Censored professor/Shutterstock/via LifeSiteNews.com)

For those who have still not come to grips with this, let these recent examples jar you.

It is bad enough that states have been passing legislation banning counseling for minors struggling with same-sex attraction, even if they have their parents' backing. But now there are reports that some states are considering banning such counseling for people of any age. (I was informed of this last week by a Christian counselor in California.)

In other words, it could be illegal for a 30-year-old man with unwanted same-sex attractions to go for professional counseling that focuses on helping him deal with and even overcome these attractions. This is a monstrous violation of individual freedom, not to mention a serious misrepresentation of scientific data, as if all "conversion therapy" were harmful.

Taking things one step farther, "A church in Michigan has come under intense attack this month [meaning February] after posting on Facebook that it was holding a workshop at the church for girls who are struggling with essentially LGBT thoughts."

So not even a church is allowed to help its young people who struggle with unwanted same-sex thoughts. I guess freedom of religion and, even more fundamentally, freedom of self-determination go only so far. How dare a church do such a thing?

The pastor, Jeremy Schossau, stated, "'It is hard to believe how much vile filth has been sent our way,' adding that many of the emails contained gay pornography. 'We're talking 10,000 emails and posts and messages and phone calls. It's just been virtually nonstop.'"

Ah, the sweet, gentle voice of tolerance and diversity!

On a very different front, Pamela Geller explained to Milo Yiannopoulos that "Google has scrubbed all internet searches ... of anything critical of jihad and Sharia. So if you Google 'jihad' and you Google 'Sharia' and you Google 'Islam,' you're going to get Islamic apologetics, you're going to get 'religion of peace.' Whereas my site used to come up top, page one for 'jihad' and 'Sharia' or 'Islam,' or JihadWatch did, you can't find it now. They scrubbed 40,000 Geller posts of Google."

She continued, "You know what? It's Stalinesque."

Geller wasn't exaggerating, and her example is just one of many...
