Although he has liberal
views, we do respect and appreciate the fact that Dave Rubin believes in free
speech and he is willing to debate on any topic, regardless of whether you agree
with it or not.

“We should be more worried about the government
taking away our free speech rather than us taking it away from ourselves.” –

To me there is nothing more
important in a democracy than free speech and debate. We should debate
everything, we should talk about everything, we should engage ideas we aren't
comfortable with, and we should let the best ideas win, that's how a healthy
society based on rational ideas and a secular government should work, but too
often these days it's simply isn't what's happening, and while the far right in
this country went off the deep end a while ago, what I've really been affected
by is seeing my side, the people on the Left cherry-picking, fact stifling,
debate and labeling everyone they disagree with a racist, a bigot, a homophobe,
or worse. These aren't liberal principles, much less are they the ideals our
founders intended for us to use when they started this country.

David Joshua
Rubin (born June 26, 1976) is an American political commentator,
YouTube personality, and talk show host. He is the creator and host of The
Rubin Report, a political talk show on BlazeTV and YouTube, and
which was formerly part of The
Young Turks Network and Ora TV. He previously hosted The Ben and Dave Show and The Six
Pack.
Rubin
describes himself as a classical liberal, but he is generally described
as conservative or libertarian in his politics.
Dave Rubin, lapsed progressive, explains
why he left the left: Video
- The Washington Times - Monday,
February 6, 2017
Internet talk
show host Dave
Rubin says he no longer identifies as a progressive after becoming
disillusioned with the left’s increasing disregard for concepts such as freedom
of speech, religious liberty and judging people on the content of their
character rather than the color of their skin.
In an episode
of Prager University released on Monday, Mr. Rubin says
so-called progressives are actually rather regressive.
“Banning
speakers whose opinions you don’t agree with from college campuses — that’s not
progressive,” Mr.
Rubin says in the four-minute video. “Prohibiting any words not approved of
as ‘politically correct’ — that’s not progressive. Putting ‘trigger warnings’
on books, movies, music, anything that might offend people — that’s not
progressive, either.”
“All of this
has led me to believe that much of the left is no longer progressive, but regressive,”
he continues.
The host of
the eponymous “Rubin Report,” a popular talk show on YouTube, Mr. Rubin says
progressives have become obsessed with identity politics and measuring which
group has been most victimized by straight, white males.
“If you’re
black, or female, or Muslim, or Hispanic or a member of any other minority
group, you’re judged differently than the most evil of all things: a white,
Christian male,” he says. “The regressive left ranks minority groups in a
pecking order to compete in a kind of ‘Oppression Olympics.’ Gold medal goes to
the most offended.”
But none of
these things leads to a flourishing and free society, Mr. Rubin says.
In fact, they’re the perfect “recipe for authoritarianism.”
“I’m
a married gay man, so you might think that I appreciate the government forcing
a Christian baker or photographer or florist to act against their religion in order
to cater, photograph or decorate my wedding. But you’d be wrong,”
he says. “A government that can force Christians to
violate their conscience can force me to violate mine. If a baker won’t bake
you a cake, find another baker; don’t demand that the state tell him what to do
with his private business.”
Mr. Rubin says he
now describes his political views as “classically liberal.”
“For these reasons, I can no longer call
myself a progressive,” he says. “I don’t really call myself a Democrat, either.
I’m a classical liberal. A free thinker. And, as much as I don’t like to admit
it, defending my liberal values has suddenly become a conservative position.”
