Authoritarianism
to the Max
Yesterday I dared to
try to comment on the blogs of The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, and did quite successfully,
as long as I played the submissive, puckering smooch planter on the virtual derriere
of an apparent pre-1950s 20th century authoritarian moderator(s).
From the beginning, it
did not go well. When I signed in as Darian
Land, my first post on Dr. Carr’s
blog was put in queue for review, and that is where it stayed. It never
appeared again. The posting thanked Dr. Carr for his public service on
explaining the Affordable Care Act. (I added it again that afternoon.
Surprisingly, it did not get reviewed again.)
I then went to Carol
Morgan’s blog, where I posted that I, too, was against any aggression against
Syria on our part, and to leave any action to the United Nations to resolve. No
problem here. The posting was accepted.
With a dare, I went to
the extreme conservative blog called Mr. Conservative. This is the blogger
whose only theme is “I hate Obama” and whose headline on 09/11/2013 was Putin Plays Obama For a Fool. Then his
very first sentence to start his subject “Putin has succeeded in making Obama appear to
be weak and a fool in dealing with Syria.” His blog topic went all downhill from there.
Anyone
who has followed the Mr. Conservative blog for a while is no longer surprised
at the total negativity offered the President of the United States. I daringly
suggested that his entire blog be pulled for 09/11/2013. Not to my surprise, since the moderator(s)
apparently does/do not respect the first amendment right of free speech, my moniker Darian Land was blocked and
all Darian Land postings on the Mr. Conservative blog were pulled.
Never fear though. See the screenshots below.
