Summary:
FREE Talk and independence of conscience have long been core American values. Yet a growing intolerance from your left side from the political spectrum is intimidating Americans’ ability to openly express beliefs without fear of retaliation. USA Today columnist and Fox News contributor Kirsten Powers telephone calls it “The Silencing.”
Forces chronicles this forced march toward conformity in an exposé from the illiberal techniques deployed to shut down debate on some of the most important issues of the day. While about The Silencing preaching tolerance and declaring to hold liberal values, the “illiberal remaining” functions to delegitimize politics and ideological opponents with techniques that stifle freedom of expression, believed, and religious belief.
In The Silencing, Kirsten Power, herself a happy liberal-but from an even more tolerant Jeffersonian tradition-exposes the illiberal left. You’ll find out:
– As to why the illiberal remaining is becoming an Orwellian “your government,” policing what it deems appropriate speech and opinions
– The way the illiberal left is enthusiastic about delegitimizing Fox Information
– How illiberal still left pundits-even self-proclaimed “”feminists”” (and Forces names titles)-engage in outrageously misogynistic and sexist dismissals of their female opponents
– How illiberal colleges and universities limit independence of appearance to tightly controlled “free speech areas” and ban speakers (also liberals) with whom the illiberal left disagrees
– How “truth” matters little to the illiberal still left, for whom ideology is everything
How is it that liberalism, once connected with open-mindedness and reason, has turned into a automobile for irrational prejudice, ideological conformity, and the marginalization and consequence of alternative opinions? Kirsten Capabilities chronicles this troubling trend in perhaps the most important-and chilling-political audiobook of the year.
