Phill Kline Commentary: Canceling Liberty
Featured, Georgia, Michigan, Op Eds, Original Content / By
Now, we are witnessing the full bloom of cancel culture as our government justifies attacking individuals who have the temerity to question government. The chill of fear is in the air, and American freedom is in danger because those who should speak let their fear or political biases keep them silent.
Any nation yearning for freedom must be composed of people willing to protect the freedom of those with whom they disagree.
That’s not the case any more in America. Instead, we are criminalizing speech and thought, and wielding the state apparatus to punish enemies of those in authority is being touted as virtuous.
As Martin Luther King, Jr. stated and history teaches, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Civil libertarians in both parties cannot afford to remain silent. We must fight for our common ground as free citizens, or we will no longer remain free.
