Hate Speech
“Ban him! Banish him from here!” they screech.
“We must protect the foolish ears he’ll reach!
Silence him! No one must hear
His message – for it is too clear!”
(Indeed it seems they really do hate speech).

I love the point that the message is “too clear.” That’s the whole problem, isn’t it? The conservative message is absolutely and undeniably clear and sensible and true. And therein lies its danger to the liberal socialistic agenda.
That last line is perfect.
Their arguments are so weak that they must try to shut down the dissenting voices. All of the calls for censorship are coming from the left.
