[Arutz7] - It is the ultimate irony.
When our founding fathers drafted the Constitution, they did so with a goal of using democracy to protect freedoms that they perceived to be the inalienable rights of every American citizen, guaranteeing freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press, among others. And yet here we are, 234 years later, and democracy has been turned from a protective shield into a weapon of mass destruction and used to undermine the very foundations of this country.
American voices, particularly religious ones, are being stifled by those who wield democracy as a sword, cutting down those who dare disagree and leaving would-be dissenters afraid to speak up for fear of retribution. The underlying threat of being cancelled and being banned from online platforms is real and comes with a significant price tag, one that can ruin political careers, destroy businesses and eradicate a lifetime of accomplishments.
Having feared for years that it would be Communist forces emanating from Russia attacking all that we as Americans hold dear, it is all the more shocking to realize that the dangers we face come from within our own ranks. Big tech has taken over, controlling relationships at the highest levels of government so that it has free reign and can ban anyone who speaks out against its interests, whether they be private citizens, businesses, elected officials, or as we saw so clearly over the last few months, even the president of the United States.
