The Silencing of the American Conservative
District of Columbia, Virginia | April 23, 2021
Americans for Limited Government (ALG) has noticed one thing since the current administration took power. Many people are shying away from speaking out against the government. ALG President Rick Manning is not thrilled to see this.
ALG President Rick Manning said “freedom isn’t free. Freedom has a cost. The signers of the Declaration of Independence, or basically wealthy people who put everything on the line for freedom. Their lives and their fortunes on the line for freedom. And, you know, I never thought in my lifetime that I would be put in that position, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to let a bunch of pimply faced Silicon Valley creeps define for me what I can say what I can believe and try to change America through intimidation.”
Manning denounced the “Twitter mobs” and refuses to let others dictate what he can and cannot say in his exercise of free speech.
“When a small mob, a small percentage of the mob goes off and shuts up the rest of the population, that’s when you have real problems. That’s when you have Hitler rise in Germany, is when a small mob intimidates the rest of people. It is the answer to the question that everybody always asked, ‘How can a civilized country like Germany and fallen into Hitler’s hands?’ It’s because the people were intimidated and didn’t want to lose their stuff. And as a result, they were not willing to speak up and say no, you cannot do that here. I’m saying right now. No, you can’t do that here.”
Manning is also not thrilled to hear how Donald Trump is being treated…
