They Call That Eating Your Own

3/20/2017

As the 24-year-old [Tomi] Lahren told the hosts of “The View” on Friday:

"I’m pro-choice, and here’s why. I’m someone that’s for limited government. So I can’t sit here and be a hypocrite and say I’m for limited government but I think the government should decide what women do with their bodies.

I can sit here and say that as a Republican and I can say, you know what, I’m for limited government so stay out of my guns and you can stay out of my body, as well."

Source: After Stating She's Pro-Choice, Tomi Lahren Reportedly Suspended from The Blaze - Independent Journal Review

So apparently, the Republicans are eating their own now. I'm sorry, but I've been passively watching this since it began. I don't watch "The View," but any time a conservative, Republican, Libertarian, etc. is on, the articles from 1000 different sources flood my inbox. Normally, I just don't care. It's one of those shows that has less impact than it thinks it does, and I give it as much attention as I do the latest political spewings of some random Hollywood star.

If you don't know who Tomi Lahren is, she is the host of a show on Glenn Beck's "The Blaze" network, which I also don't watch. I occasionally catch episodes or clips from them of Tomi's show, and I can tell you... she's a fire storm. Her segments are a little practiced and obviously memorized, but that's alright.
This past week, she appeared on "The View," where she made the admission in the block quote that started this off. Again, I didn't pay it much mind and moved on with my life. But as the days have gone by, I noticed more and more people reacting to her in a negative way, tearing into her like she'd killed six people and three dogs.

Then, this afternoon, I found out that she'd been suspended from Beck's network, apparently for at least a week, but that normally means she's done on that network. And people are cheering the decision.

I don't normally touch the abortion topic for two reasons. 1. It is one of those topics that sparks tempers and anger and all kinds of stuff, and no matter what you say you are going to be wrong with a large portion of people, and I don't see it as worthy enough of an argument to get into when you literally can never be right and all the fighting impacts nothing. 2. I don't really know where I stand on abortion. I have been torn in two directions on the topic for as long as I can remember, and I don't feel comfortable labeling myself either pro-life or pro-choice.  I believe abortion is wrong. But I also don't want to see women going to back alley butchers again, and they will. It's similar to the 2nd Amendment argument - just because you outlaw it doesn't mean people won't get them. And while I wish people wouldn't, I know they will and would prefer they got it done safely instead of being killed horribly. So yeah, I'm torn on the subject.

Regardless of my opinion, what is happening to Tomi is what I refer to as eating our own. I've called the Democrats out on numerous occasions for doing this, and now I'm watching conservatives do it, too. People who, two weeks ago, agreed with 99% of what she said are now calling for her job because she doesn't agree with them on something.

Everyone has their own set of beliefs and values, and they are entitled to them. You are never going to agree with anyone 100% of the time, and vice versa. We scream when liberals try to silence conservative speakers and demand their right to free speech, but then when one of them holds an opinion we don't agree with... we do exactly the same thing.

Tomi has her own opinions. I don't agree with her all the time. It would be weird if I did. But like hell I'm going to try to silence her because she said something I don't like! I don't agree with 95% of the things Bill Maher says, and I won't try to silence him, either.

We need to stop eating our own. Tomi is on our side. Yes, she doesn't agree with one of the conservative platforms. That doesn't make her any less on our side.

A few weeks ago, Milo Yiannopoulos made comments on Bill Maher's show that gave the impression that he was a pedophile sympathizer (no, I don't think Milo is a pedo). His career has gone down the crapper since then and I believe he has left the USA. But conservatives seem to be getting behind him anyway, admitting they don't believe he is a pedophile or a pedophile sympathizer.  People are staunchly supporting him. And these are people who even looked past the fact that he's gay to support him.

Yet we're eating Tomi alive. I don't get it.

Folks, the time is now. Things have been hitting the fan for a while now, and we need to support those on our side... each other. We need to stand together. And we need to realize that we're not going to agree with each other 100% of the time. And sometimes, people are going to disagree with you on things you feel very strongly about. It's time to swallow our pride and our egos and support those who mostly support us. You can disagree. But let's stop trying to silence each other. We need all the voices we can get.
