Hate Crime Legislation - Back Door to Censorship
By
James Simpson
An
extension of the Hate Crimes law
recently passed the House of Representatives which will essentially
codify into national law
the "speech codes" that are smothering academic freedom on
college campuses today. This law is the back door method Obama and his
fellow socialists will
use to stifle free speech in this country, as explained in
an informative article by Jerry Kane
at
American Daughter.
To heck with the "Fairness Doctrine." Who needs to limit censorship to
the airwaves? This
legislation will silence anyone who disagrees with them.
Hate crimes legislation has its roots in the communist-inspired, so-called
Frankfurt School
founded in Frankfurt, Germany by Bolsheviks in the 1920s. Its goal was
to implement communism
in the West quietly by gradually subverting popular culture
-- a movement known as
Cultural Marxism
. One of its leading lights,
Herbert Marcuse
, opined that the prevailing Western social order is repressive by
definition and discriminates
against minorities simply by existing.
This creates a phenomenon he called "
repressive tolerance
" because even though other views are allowed within Western culture --
you know, by that
insignificant little old thing called the First Amendment -- the
Capitalist view is still permitted. It goes without saying that Marcuse
considered that to be
unacceptable.
Instead, he proposed what he called "
partisan tolerance
," i.e. tolerating the views of those "repressed minorities" only -- who
Marcuse assumes share
his partisan hatred for everything noncommunist -- while
actively muzzling the views of the majority.
So now we have a word for Democrats' eye-popping hypocrisy when they
wrap themselves in the
mantle of free speech while simultaneously attempting to suppress
non-Leftist ideas. We have a word for the Left's double standard in
championing "repressed
minorities" only when those minorities share their politics,
while savaging principled, accomplished minorities like Clarence Thomas,
Thomas Sowell or Janice
Rogers Brown. We have an explanation for why so many college
campuses, supposedly the society's heart of open-minded intellectual
inquiry, actively, even
violently intimidate conservative speakers -- when they let
them onto campus at all.
They have been practicing "partisan tolerance." That is, tolerance of
the extreme Left and
virulent intolerance of anything else.
Marcuse, among other Frankfurt School advocates, was brought to the U.S.
in the 1930s by
Edward R. Murrow
who at the time headed a program to resettle intellectuals facing Nazi
repression.
According to Wikipedia
, Marcuse worked at the OSS, the State Department and taught at
Columbia, Harvard and Brandeis.
Now doesn't that tell you something? He has been called
the "Father of the New Left" and inspired many of the 1960s' young
radicals, who now have
tenured teaching positions at colleges throughout the U.S. It
is easy to see his Frankfurt School influence in university speech codes
- indeed it is largely
the reason they exist.
In fact the
New School
, currently run by former Democratic Senator
Bob Kerrey
of Nebraska, counts the Frankfurt School as one of its
main influences
. Barack Obama has an indirect connection to the school, in that his
father was offered a
scholarship there.
According to Wikipedia:
block quote
In the early 1960s, the New School offered the father of the US
President, Barack Obama, a
generous scholarship package that would have paid for his immediate
family (including wife Ann Dunham and son, the future President; then
residents of Hawaii) to
join him in New York City, where he would complete his PhD.
He declined and instead abandoned his family and departed for Harvard
University, where he had a
less-generous scholarship with no family allowance.
block quote end
The Frankfurt School was dedicated to the destruction of the West. One
of its founders, Willi
Munzenberg, stated explicitly that its goal was to:
block quote
...organise the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilisation
stink [sic]. Only then,
after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible,
can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat.
block quote end
According to an article by Timothy Matthews in
Catholic Insight
, key strategies to achieve this goal were:
block quote
1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion.
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children.
4. The undermining of schools' and teachers' authority.
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking.
7. Emptying of churches.
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime.
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits.
10. Control and dumbing down of media.
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family.
block quote end
Munzenberg stated flatly, "We will make the West so corrupt it stinks."
Today, his mission appears to have been largely accomplished. Assisted
by American public
education advocates, Frankfurt School proponents aggressively
worked their way into our public education system to the point that
today their priorities
virtually define it. Their influence explains most of today's
sick popular culture.
So this is the last piece in the
Manufactured Crisis
puzzle. It seems apparent that "Hate Crimes" legislation is the vehicle
by which free speech
will be permanently silenced in America. And after that, the
thugs will be firmly in charge.
You need look no further for proof that Marcuse's "cultural Marxists"
are in charge in
Washington now. Since it is their intention to destroy this country,
intellectual appeals to them will fall on deaf ears. The only recourse
is to lobby Senate
Republicans and those few remaining Democrats with a shred of
integrity, if indeed there are any.
We are witnessing the death of our country.
