Quote of the Day: Silencing the Opposition
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” – Harry S. Truman
There is not much I can add to that. Harry S. pretty much nailed it. Other than to note, he was a Democrat, which shows how much the Democrats have gone down the path of Fascism since 1972. (Yes, the big shift started after McGovern’s loss, when the socialist wing of the Democrats captured the party machinery and chased out first the anti-Communists and eventually everyone to the right of Henry Wallace.)
“I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.” — Harry S. Truman
The general rule guiding the press and the offspring of a sitting President is hands-off unless the child has reached adulthood. Then everything is fair game, especially when it comes to that adult child’s chosen profession.
