Summary
The left-wing thought-control site ThinkProgress has closed its doors, after many years of policing allowable opinion. Because of my interests I'm aware in particular of their absurd treatment of the Tenth Amendment Center -- which, unlike ThinkProgress, is alive and kicking. And speaking of kicking, let's kick ThinkProgress while it's down.

| 0:00.0 | The Tom Woods Show, episode 1489. |
| 0:03.4 | Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion. |
| 0:08.0 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
| 0:14.2 | Folks, if you're like me, one of the most demoralizing things is when someone utters the truth and then lamely apologizes. Well, not these folks. I've got a free |
| 0:22.9 | e-book of stories from heroic professors who told the PC mob to go pound sand. Stories from Jordan |
| 0:29.4 | Peterson, Michael Recktonwald, and others. Check it out at againstthemob.com. Hey, everybody, Tom Woods here. |
| 0:37.4 | By myself today, I've got a topic I want to review with you, folks. |

| 1:24.2 | If you go to thinkprogress.org, it's still up. But if you click on any of the headlines, |
| 1:28.9 | you'll find that they're all at least several days old. They haven't been updated. They're not going to be |
| 1:34.1 | updated because that's the end of it. They tried to find a buyer and were unsuccessful. So think |
| 1:39.2 | progress has expired. Think progress was what I call a thought control website. So if you said something |
