Fear

a href=”http://drhelen.blogspot.com/2006/12/scarlet-r.html”img src=”http://instapundit.com/images/helenscarlet.jpg” align=right border=0/aI find it interesting that so many angry lefty bloggers come here to troll on posts about the a href=”http://drhelen.blogspot.com/2006/12/scarlet-r.html”Scarlet R./a Now, it could just be that the guy at a href=”http://alicublog.blogspot.com/2006_12_17_alicublog_archive.html#116672546003862362″Alicublog/a who mentions me, it seems, in every other post, could just have a crush on me, but I will not flatter myself with that theory at this point. You would think that a relatively small blog like mine would not interest them: after all, there are bigger fish out there to fry. br /br /However, my guess is that it is fear that makes the angry leftists link to me or troll to try and shut people here up. Why such a threat from a few thousand people a day on my blog? Because two or three thousand readers could go out and talk to two or three thousand friends about libertarian or right leaning ideas and gasp! they might listen. Extreme leftists have a lot invested in keeping the right’s views out of the media, schools and universities. That means making people on the right afraid or embarrassed about stating politically incorrect views. But everytime we stick up for a student Republican or professor, etc. the lefties’ fear and discomfort become a little greater, their monopoly on these institutions is broken a little further and the threat causes them to act out in anger or make aggressive blog remarks. But hey, I am doing my part here because as long as they write about me, or waste their time posting on my blog, there is less chance they will be out in the real world pushing their agenda. So keep on coming by, boys. And thanks for the traffic!
