The Democrats handle dissent by isolating it, smearing it and delegitimizing it in order to crush it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As long as it is supported by Democratic politicians and by liberal Hollywood players, censorship is a useful tool to stifle dissent.
I am so tired of being told by Democratic operatives to 'suck it up' because so many other profound issues are at stake.
It's one thing to earnestly try but fail to bring the two sides together. Though Democrats will deny it, that was the case with George W. Bush.
We may be so eager to protect the right to dissent that we lose sight of the difference between dissent and subversion.
Democrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide... but dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.
It has been surprising to me that so few conservatives have voiced concern over the precedence that are being set in favor of suppression by this so-called conservative administration.
I have gotten disturbed at... some of the Democrats' anti-business behavior, the sentiment, the attacks on work ethic and successful people. I think it's very counter-productive.
What Republicans have done in my view is that they are systematically dismantling a sense of community in America.
One of the most effective tools that the Cheney-Bush junta has used to marginalize dissenting or even mildly inquisitive American citizens has been the accusation of being unpatriotic.
Bring it on. Dissent is central to any democracy.
