The left is totalitarian by nature.

[UpstateSCHokie]

Every time I hear a leftist refer to someone on the right as a "fascist" all I can do is roll my eyes. Do these people believe in their simple little minds that acting like a fascist because they believe someone else is a fascist is just? Can they point to even one example of where the right has formed a mob and stormed one of their gatherings to stop one of them from speaking?

I really don't think these people have the first clue as to how to think critically. In their world, its perfectly fine to shut down and shut down someone they disagree with politically. Would they then be okay with another group of people and coming to shut them up?

Why do they believe that they are the ones that get to decide who is allowed to speak and who is not allowed to speak? Why does this sick ideology originate?

The Left May Well Get Trump Nominated

This past Friday, a left-wing mob shut down a Donald Trump rally in Chicago. Most Americans viewing what happened saw it for what it was -- another left-wing assault on the speech of those with whom they differ and on traditional American civility.

Not surprisingly, the media reporting has concentrated overwhelmingly on Trump for incendiary and inexcusable comments he has made at some of his other rallies that were disrupted by protesters. For example, he offered to pay any legal bills incurred by a man in the audience who sucker-punched a protester as he was being led out of a Trump rally.

Many have also noted the alleged assault by Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, who was accused of trying to grab Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields' arm. (I say "alleged" because I have watched the video of the alleged incident four times but could not ascertain what actually took place.)

For the record, I have been relentless in my criticisms of Donald Trump, both in print and on my radio show, preferring any other Republican candidate. Based on his past, I have not had any reason to trust him as a conservative or as a Republican, and he has exhibited serious character flaws.

Nevertheless, truth must trump opposition to Trump.

A couple of weeks ago conservative writer and speaker Ben Shapiro was disinvited from California State University, Los Angeles. When he nevertheless showed up, 150 left-wing demonstrators blocked the entrance to the theater in which he was speaking, and sounded a fire alarm to further disrupt his speech.

In just the last year, left-wing students have violently taken over presidents' or deans' offices at Princeton, Virginia Commonwealth University, Dartmouth, Providence College, Harvard, Lewis & Clark College, Temple University and many others. Conservative speakers have either been disinvited or shouted down at Brandeis University, Brown University, the University of Michigan and myriad other campuses.

And leftists shout down virtually every pro-Israel speaker, including the Israeli ambassador to the United States, at every university to which they are invited to speak.

Yet the mainstream media simply ignore this left-wing thuggery -- while reporting that the shutting down of a pro-Trump rally is all Trump's fault for his comments encouraging roughing up protestors at his events.

That the left shuts down people with whom it differs is a rule in every leftist society. The left -- not classical liberals, I hasten to note -- is totalitarian by nature. In the 20th century, the century of totalitarianism, virtually every totalitarian regime in the world was a leftist regime. And the contemporary American university -- run entirely by the left -- is becoming a totalitarian state, where only left-wing ideas are tolerated.

Tens of millions of Americans look at what the left is doing to universities, and what it has done to the news and entertainment media, and see its contempt for the First Amendment's protection of free speech. They see Donald Trump attacked by this left, and immediately assume that only Trump will take on, in the title words of Jonah Goldberg's modern classic, "Liberal Fascism."

And if these millions had any doubt that Trump alone will confront left-wing fascism, Trump's opponents seemed to provide proof. Like the mainstream media, the three remaining Republican candidates for president -- John Kasich, the most and Marco Rubio the least -- blamed Trump for the left-wing hooligans more than they blamed the left. It is possible that in doing so Senators Cruz and Rubio and Governor Kasich effectively ended their campaigns and ensured the nomination of Trump as the Republican candidate for president. The combination of left-wing violence and the use of it by the other GOP candidates to wound Trump rather than label the left as the mortal threat to liberty that it is may clinch Trump's nomination.

And if the left continues to violently disrupt Trump rallies, they -- along with the total absence of condemnation by the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate -- may well ensure that Donald Trump is elected president. Between the play-Fascism of Trump and the real Fascism of the left, most Americans will know which one to fear most.

A public figure who wants to become POTUS wanting to amend the 1A to make it easier to sue newspapers who criticize them is not totalitarian at all.

That's right. You should look up the word totalitarian, you don't know what it means.

He wants to act like a dictator and have the media only say what he wants them to say.

Pretty much a classic example.

It's humorous to watch AG opine that a Presidential candidate wanting the 1A to be amended to curb criticism isn't totalitarian. This board's usual suspects would be throwing a fit if a Dem suggested the same thing, and rightfully so.

Trump direct quotes.

“I’m gonna open up our libel laws, so when they write purposely negative and horrible, false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money,” Trump said at a rally in Fort Worth, Texas.

“We’re going to open up those libels laws,” he added. “So that when The New York Times writes a hit piece, which is a total disgrace, or when The Washington Post, which is there for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can sue them and win money.”

"You see, with me, they're not protected, because I'm not like other people, but I'm not taking money. I'm not taking their money. We're going to open up libel laws, and we're going to have people sue you like you've never got sued before."

He's talking about what he'll do as POTUS...change the laws so the POTUS can sue the media when he doesn't like what they say.

Thanks for playing. Go away.

All by working with congress. Try again.

Except SCOTUS has already ruled on this issue. You'd have to amend the 1A to protect a public figure from being criticized by the media.

So? You're still using a word without knowing the meaning. Pick another scary word to flaunt your ignorance.

At least Trump didn't say he would have them dragged from their home in the night, lined up and shot.
Perhaps he's really a moderate. That would really piss little dc off!

What does "working with Congress" have to do with anything? Congress is "the state", and a totalitarian govt is one where "the state" acts in a dictatorial manner. Maybe YOU should read the definition of totalitarianism.

Do you ever have a point to make? It's flattering that you think of me so often, and post things about me all the time...but also very creepy. It would help if anything you said made any sense, at all.

Damn you're stupid. A totalitarian is the executive, legislative, and judicial branch all in one regime controlling everything. Your silly interpretation would mean the US is a totalitarian government. Stop digging and end this stupidity.

Awww, ditto.
Now, please continue ranting about Trump the totalitarian dictator. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol, Idi, Papa and Baby Doc are waiting for more of your wisdom.
