Politically correct liberals & born-again's in Alaska join forces to ban books
PC liberals & born-again Christian conservatives in Alaska join forces to ban books. Over and over again, PC liberals have joined with born-again Christian conservatives to ban books, proving that both PC liberalism & born-again Christian conservativism are a threat to free expression. Writers, painters, musicians, comedians, and sculptors should unite in fighting both PC liberalism and born-again Christian conservativism. PC liberalism and born-again Christian conservativism are big threats to the literary world.

Call it whatever you will, but it's still book banning to me!
Excluding the books - banning the books - what's the difference?
Next thing you know the new politically correct term for book burning will be "community bonfire night".
It will be a community of politically correct liberals and born-again Christian conservatives burning books together.
Then the above poster refers to the "Communist" party. I assume he's talking about Stalin, because Lenin let authors & painters do whatever they wanted, and before he died Lenin denounced Stalin. And Leon Trotsky made common cause with writers and painters, like the manifesto he wrote with the surrealist Andre Breton. Trotsky strongly defended the freedom of expression of artists and writers against censorship.
