David Horowitz is a red-diaper baby who not only rejects communism but is an eloquent and prolific defender of the Constitution and freedom. He is the proprietor of David Horowitz’s Freedom Center and its online presence at Front Page Mag. His essay yesterday is my idea of a must-read. It begins:
My Former Friends
Have Joined the Fascists:
A personal tale of the divisions of our time.
The accusation that dissent is
dangerous and must be suppressed mimics the fascist voice of the Democrat Party
in its campaign to criminalize anyone who questions the 2020 election. Calling
the break-in to the Capitol “an armed insurrection,” when there were no arms
and no insurrections, ordering 25,000 troops to the Capitol to deal with a
non-existent threat, calling Republicans “enemies of the state” (Pelosi),
authorizing witch-hunts of (right wing) “extremists” in the military, the
Capitol police and the Department of Homeland Security, seeking the expulsion
of Senators Hawley and Cruz and the impeachment of the president for
questioning the legitimacy of the electors are of a piece with Radosh and
Stern’s malicious charge against me. The aim is to criminalize dissent and make
it a high crime in the process.
The reality of course is that
Democrats themselves have challenged the legitimacy of every Republican
presidential victory this century, including the election of Trump, which they
have never accepted. Their “resistance” has caused great damage to the
republic, which they prefer not to notice.
