Nothing happened to the right to dissent. Yeah, the right wing has gotten more extreme, but so has the left wing. With both extremes getting more extreme all the time, all we're left with is dissent. Nobody can agree on anything anymore, and it's the fault of politicians from both sides.
What you're posting here, multi, are the words of someone who's framing the debate in such a way that it looks like his side is innocent and put upon. Democrats did the same thing when they tried to steal the 2000 election from Bush in Florida. Truth be told, neither side is innocent. Nobody can get political and stay clean at the same time, so you can't get away with blaming everything on the usual suspects. Right wingers in the US are easy prey for editorialists these days, not because they're the only guilty party, but because they've got something to lose.
