LINK: Oh, and Harry at Harry's Place has some more thoughts on whose dissent is actually being silenced:
"A large part of the left has crossed the line from scepticism, a quality necessary for any attempt to analyse the world, to a cynicism which negates the need to even undertake creative, critical thinking. The left has failed to break with the fossilised sectarian thinking of the last century and has merely reinvented it, stripping it of the messianic delusions of the vanguardists of the past and replacing it with an all-embracing cynicism which at its very core is nothing more than nihilism."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
