UPDATE – Today, I read that SIX police officers were shot, in three different cities, the previous night and that TWO of the officers are dead.  Prayers to all of the officers and their families.

Oh, boy!  After the event in Charlottesville NC, the streaming music service “Spotify” has given itself the noble task of deciding what music is “hateful” and banning such music.  They said they are removing “white supremacist” music.

Alright, let me be clear, “white supremacists“, as Steve Bannon said, are LOSERS.

Where this becomes NUTTY is that the OVERLORDS at Spotify believe they are the police agency to cleanse the music world of “hateful” music. I just looked up a couple of groups that have written some, what I would deem as “hateful” songs, and they are STILL streamed by the gods of music.

N.W.A (aka Niggaz Wit Attitudes) had their hit “Fuck The Police” which contained the gentle and loving lyrics,

“A young nigga on the warpath
And when I’m finished, it’s gonna be a bloodbath
Of cops, dying in L.A.
Yo Dre, I got something to say
Fuck Tha Police.”

Lovely and oh so kind and non-hateful.

Oh and this wonderful group, “Body Count” with the poetic lyrics,

“Cop killer, I know your family’s grieving,
(fuck ’em!)
Cop killer, but tonight we get even, ha ha.
I got my brain on hype.
Tonight will be your night.
I got this long-assed knife.
And your neck looks just right.
DIE, DIE, DIE, PIG, DIE!
FUCK THE POLICE!”

Paints such a picture of loving kindness to your fellow man.  Not hateful at all.

And the nuttiness doesn’t stop with the obvious HYPOCRISY.

Spotify put together a playlist they call, “Patriotic Passion”, which they describe as, “a soundtrack to an America worth fighting for,”

Guess what group is on track number 9?

Answer, “N.W.A.”, The all loving group mentioned above.

Obviously, as I’m not a “lefty-communist-progressive-millennial-metrosexual”, I cannot delineate what is hateful and what is not. I’m glad there are OVERLORDS who can do this for me.

Taliban taking down an “offensive” statue of Buddha.

ISIS destroying “offensive” statues in a Mosul museum.

Millennials destroying an “offensive” statue in Durham NC.

It’s all good…

You can’t make up “news” this wacky.

Berkeley Kalifornia is obviously the center of leftist (Democratic) thought in this country. It USED to be known as the place where the “free speech” movement began. Free speech is GONE in Berkeley.

Dr. Richard Dawkins is the ATHEIST, Oxford College evolutionary biologist who is known for his anti-Christian views. He is (perhaps WAS) the DARLING of the LEFT. He himself is a self proclaimed LIBERAL thinker.

Dawkins was supposed to promote his new book in a talk that was to be broadcast tomorrow (Aug 9, 2017) on a LIBERAL talk radio station.  His talk was banned from the radio station!

Why? Well as a good atheist, Dawkins not only has anti-Christian views (which is okay to the “progre-sissies“), he also has a negative view of MUSLIMS as well.  He believes ALL religions are the “thoughts of children” and that SCIENCE defines everything.

In the unwritten laws of the Progre-sissy Nation, you can hate on Christians all you want, but if you hate on Muslims (the progressives’ chosen ones), you’ve crossed the LINE!

In a release from the radio station regarding banning Dawkins, “… we didn’t know he had offended and hurt — in his tweets and other comments on Islam, so many people.  KPFA does not endorse hurtful speech. While KPFA emphatically supports serious free speech, we do not support abusive speech. We apologize for not having had broader knowledge of Dawkins views much earlier.”  Highlights are mine.

Sheesh, you mean to tell me that the brain trust in Berkeley doesn’t know that “atheist” means “does not believe in the existence of any god“.  Apparently the Progre-sissy Nation view is that “atheist” means “a disbelief in ONLY the Judeo-Christian God”.  Once again, comments against Christians, OKAY.  Comments against Muslims, NOT OKAY.

Dawkins calls out the “Regressive Left” (his words) as the instigators of his ban. He states that the Regressive Left has the belief that Muslims are a race, and not just believers of the Islamic faith.  Therefore they classify his views as racist hate speech.  I may not agree with most of Dawkins’ views but he is CONSISTENT in the application of his world view.

Free speech and the exchange of ideas, even those one may find abhorrent, USED to be valued and protected in the United States.  Once again the “Progressive Left” shows their true colors and demonstrates that “Free Speech” is acceptable as long as it meets THEIR criteria of “Correct Speech“.

Orwell was right.  “1984” just happened a little later than he predicted.
