Last Thursday, I gave a speech at UNC-Charlotte called \u201cWhy Liberals Hate Freedom.\u201d The main point of the speech was that \u201cliberals\u201d hate freedom because they are not really liberals. Unfortunately, during and after the Q and A things got heated with a few of the communists who decided to awaken from their drug-induced stupor and attend the speech. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since I was overly harsh with most of them I would like to offer the following apology, which truly comes from the bottom of my heart: <\/p>\n

I am sorry that communists actually exist in the United States of America \u2013 a nation so great that it must construct walls to keep people out. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that these communists would like to turn this great nation into one that must construct walls to keep people in. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that I sometimes end sentences with prepositions. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that one of the communists attending my speech chose to accuse me of conflating the terms \u201ccommunism\u201d and socialism.\u201d <\/p>\n

I am sorry that it is not possible to conflate synonyms. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that, in my mind, I may have conflated the terms \u201cimbecile\u201d and \u201cidiot\u201d while the aforementioned communist was speaking. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that the communist who falsely accused me of falsely accusing Hillary Rodham Clinton of being a Marxist has not bothered to read her Master\u2019s thesis or \u201cher\u201d book, It Takes a Village. <\/p>\n

I am sorry but it takes a family, not a village, to raise a child. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that the communist on the back row pretended not to understand that the main point I was making with regard to Clinton was: There is already a trend towards socialism in America, which will be accelerated sharply if Clinton is elected president. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that the aforementioned communist instead chose to claim that I said \u201cClinton will seize control of all private industry as soon as she takes office.\u201d <\/p>\n

I am sorry that communists are unable to address smart arguments from capitalists, opting instead to refute dumb arguments that no one else but communists are making. <\/p>\n

I am sorry that the communist love of straw man arguments is symbolic of the fact that communists are living in a make-believe world with make-believe enemies. <\/p>\n
