A basic tenet of freedom in a healthy democracy is communicated in the idea that, “I may disagree with every word that you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to speak those words.” In a democracy it is our responsibility to always respect dissenting opinions and opposing ideas, otherwise we literally lose our ability to engage in the public discourse that is vital to the survival of a democracy. The civil discourse of ideas is in fact the life-blood of a democracy, is it not?  So what are we left with when a group of people try to silence and attack another group of people with different ideas? Look at how liberal fascists are currently attacking other Americans with valid points of view as in the case of the vicious attacks upon citizens like Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Mia Love, Deneen Borelli, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Allen West, etc., etc. These people are attacked by liberal-fascists simply because these people express conservative points of view.  In a democracy we never attack the person whose ideas we disagree with… we argue the substantive issues… but we never attack another American citizen for expressing dissenting opinions or opposing ideas… NEVER! Attacking people with opposing ideas instead of discussing the actual issues is called fascism.  Fascists use various forms of propaganda to attack other citizens in their efforts to destroy or silence the person… without ever even discussing the substantive issues. This fascist action is literally the enemy of free speech and the antithesis of what is required for the survival of democracy in any nation.  A fascist propagandist is the enemy of democracy, the antithesis of free speech, and the harbinger of totalitarianism, dictatorship, and the death of liberty.  The Nazi party was a master of fascism and propaganda to silence all opposing viewpoints. Joseph Goebbels is a prime example of the dangers of fascism and propaganda that none of us should ever forget: http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/goebbels.html  What does this have to do with bacon or Ron Swanson you ask? Not a damn thing!  This is an effort to communicate a message to someone who is currently young and confused and on the wrong pathway in their career. Each of us has a responsibility to contribute value to our democracy in a combined effort to preserve the blessing called America that has been handed down to each of us so that we can foster the democratic principles of freedom and liberty.  Look around you today in the media and ask yourself if you see open-minded, tolerant citizens of a democracy that would fight to their death for the right of others like Sarah Palin to speak freely… or do you see ugly, ignorant, dangerous fascists trying to attack and silence other American citizens simply because they think and speak freely with dissenting voices?  Hmmm, and which camp would you place your self and your work in?  Fascist propagandists are not just to be disrespected and reviled for being the enemies of freedom, fascists are to be regarded literally as a danger to the democratic way of life that we love and value in America. No matter who it is that practices fascist propaganda tactics, we must all work together to reveal and expose that fascist for who they are. We must never let fascist propagandists steal our democracy or destroy our right to civil, public discourse.  Make a choice on who and what you want to become in the future as you are currently regarded as nothing more than a fascist propagandist… and that is not good.
Apparently the bacon shortage was hogwash, but that doesn't make a difference to Ron Swanson -- he's prepared. Very prepared.
