Progressives stifle free speech with Colorado ‘deadnaming’ bill By Jon Caldara With apologies to Pete Seeger, and the 5,000 acts who covered his song. Where have all the liberals gone? Long time passing. Where have all the liberals gone? Long time ago. Where have all the liberals gone? Young progressives canceled them, every one. When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn? Longing for liberals Do you remember liberals, those principled freaks of yesteryear, out of step with mainstream society by demanding free speech for all, including those they didn’t like? Usually all Democrats, they fought for and won the right to burn the American flag, even though it offended most citizens. They were so principled in defending a liberal culture they fought for neo-Nazis’ right to parade in places like Skokie Illinois, because even despicable people have a right to say what they want, the way they want to say it. These liberals angered both social conservatives and feminists by protecting pornographers like Larry Flint of the skin rag “Hustler,” even though they were greatly offended by the misogyny and vulgarity in its pages. These liberals laughed at jokes by censored comics like Lenny Bruce. They fought for school libraries to have copies of Huckleberry Finn, even if it was replete with the N-word. They populated organizations like the ACLU and People for the American Way. But these Democrats passed “long time ago.” Are you old enough to remember them? Here’s a good test. Have you ever heard or said the phrase, “I disagree with what you say but defend to death your right to say it”? If the answer is yes, good chance you’re in a retirement home. Or maybe this one. Fill in the blank: “The ends don’t justify the ________.” (The answer we were looking for was “means.” The ends don’t justify the … means.) Modern progressives have rewritten that sacred pledge to read, “The ends justify everything and anything.” Are there still liberal Democrats in Colorado? Like UFO sightings, there are rumors of their existence but no verifiable proof. If they exist, they are afraid to speak up for fear of being canceled by their socialist, coerced-speech overlords now in power. And what a shame it is, too. Free speech has never been under attack like it is now. Don’t believe me? Go refuse to bake a cake celebrating something against your religion. By the way, ever notice progressives only sue Christian cake bakers? You’d think Muslim cake bakers are much more likely to refuse to create a cake celebrating a gay marriage. Hmmmmm. Pronoun policing If principled Democrats weren’t hiding themselves like Anne Frank’s family, hoping not to be found and eliminated, they might take after their ancestors and fight coerced speech, like Colorado’s House Bill 1312 . Beyond disempowering parents’ right to raise their own kids and outlawing gender-based uniforms in schools, this bill not only prohibits misgendering or “deadnaming” a person in public, but it also makes it a “discriminatory act” under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act. The pronoun police are becoming the pronoun police, judge and executioner. Deadnaming is calling someone who has “transitioned” gender by his old name, and with this bill, even if he hasn’t officially changed his name. Misgendering means referring to a man with gender dysphoria and who identifies as a woman, as, well, a man. In other words, this law would criminalize telling the truth. That’s worth repeating: The coercion-crazed progressive left is so maniacally out of control they’re making speaking the provable truth a crime. Calling a biological male, by the word “man” would be an unlawful “discriminatory act.” The truth-teller would be open to unknown costs, legal hassles and punishments. But let’s go down the rabbit hole with Alice for a moment and imagine that when a man identifies as a woman his chromosomes magically change from XY to XX. Calling him a man would then be a hurtful lie. Wait, didn’t the neo-Nazis in Skokie do basically the same, say hurtfully lie saying certain races were genetically inferior? Back then Democrats fought for free speech so Nazis could lie. Today they coerce speech and make truth a hate crime. Though calling a trans woman a “biological man” will become a crime, it will still be encouraged to call those of us who use pronouns accurately “ignorant, hater, and fascist.” Democrat liberals of yore used to call that double-standard “chilling free speech.” And a candy bar cost a dime.…

Turnabout is fair play for government ‘acknowledgement’ propaganda By Jon Caldara You can file this under “and this is the kind of crap that got Donald Trump elected.” The job of government is to serve the citizens, not to indoctrinate them into victim identity ideology. We have choices of where to worship, to read politically persuasive literature or hear debates if we wish to weigh dogmas. Sadly, we have no choice but to interface with the government we have. Should you be forced through ideological re-education sessions to merely access your government? Say you want to learn about the Denver mayor’s plan for yet another debt proposal. You go to the city’s official presentation on it. But, before you can hear anything about it, you’re force-fed a heaping spoonful of identity politics and white guilt. Pandering through ‘acknowledgements’ Baseball games begin with the national anthem. Denver presentations on policy begin with dubious, race-pandering propaganda. At the mayor’s recent presentation, his staff first put up their “Land Acknowledgement” on a PowerPoint slide and recited it aloud: “The City and County of Denver honors and acknowledges that the land on which we reside is the traditional territory of the Ute Cheyenne and Arapahoe Peoples … We also recognize that government, academic and cultural institutions were founded upon and continue to enact exclusions and erasures of Indigenous Peoples. May this acknowledgement demonstrate a commitment to working to dismantle ongoing legacies of oppression and inequities …” Interesting there’s no mention of the oppression among Colorado-area indigenous tribes, the human trafficking and slavery because of tribal wars, and what, by any measure, would be labeled war crimes by the Comanches to their enemies. To learn about a proposal to put you further in debt, you must hear without rebuttal that we continue to exclude and oppress indigenous people. It might be a wonderful point for academics and activists to debate. There is no place for brainwashing prerequisites to simply interface with your government. This steaming pile of white guilt is common in progressive governments. Friends of mine brought their daughter to a student orientation at Colorado State University only to get a similar preamble. Sensing what kind of education CSU values, they left. Their daughter goes to an out-of-state school. Way to keep ’em here Colorado. Denver doubles down on ideological indoctrination with a second acknowledgement recited to their political prisoners, a “Labor Acknowledgement”: “We acknowledge that our country’s economy, infrastructure, and resulting generational wealth would not exist as they do today without the stolen and forced labor of enslaved Africans who suffered transatlantic human trafficking, chattel slavery, and Jim Crow. We acknowledge how these dehumanizing practices have social legal and economic legacies that continue to haunt to this day.” It might make for a good PhD dissertation for a student to argue slavery, not industrialization and innovation was the economic engine that resulted in generational wealth, or even that wealth today is easily traced to pre-Civil War policy. To present it as fact at a governmental forum is North Korean-like forced propaganda. And you’d think there might be even a casual mention that, since its founding, slavery has been illegal in Colorado, or how Coloradans gave their lives fighting with the Union to end slavery. Playing by progressive rules Since the progressive left is weaponizing virtue signaling at taxpayer expense, may I reasonably suggest the right now do the same thing. What’s good for the goose and all. Maybe more sensible cities, I’m looking at you Centennial and Aurora (maybe Colorado Springs, if there’s any sanity left), to start your meetings with a Capitalism Acknowledgement: “We acknowledge that Colorado’s wealth, abundance and unending individual opportunities would not exist without the brave people who risked their fortunes and their very lives to bring industry and opportunity to our state.” Or, perhaps, a Taxpayer Acknowledgement: “We government workers and elected officials acknowledge that the services we provide, and our very jobs, are made possible only by the confiscation of citizens’ hard-earned treasure, and, therefore, we will only use these resources for enumerated, core governmental services.” Someday, Colorado voters, as the nation did electing President Trump, we’ll get sick of this in-your-face virtue-signaling on our dime, and will elect a new regime. And, when they start putting up “Acknowledgements” to a Christian God, our white Founders, or capitalism, you on the left will have no right to complain. But you will be able to proudly say, “We taught them how to do that.”…
