If you believe it is in your best interest to allow government to take power over certain things, it won't be long before government takes power over certain things that are not in your best interest

The politicians are always working on tweaking freedom of speech because political correctness has turned out not to be oppressive enough. They use back doors and side entrances to attack freedom of speech, because if they came in the front door, you would know what they were up to, and you would use your freedom of speech to stop them. The political leaders tell you their actions against your liberty is for your own protection, because apparently you can’t be trusted with it.

In today’s political environment we have to be careful what we say and write because we don’t want to offend someone who carries in their pocket a desire to destroy us. Government, therefore, in the name of decency and “the right thing to do,” limit our speech through any means necessary. Political campaigns have become one of their favorite targets, for if you used your freedom of speech in support of your favorite candidate, the ruling elite might lose their positions of power.

Hey, if New Jersey treated the first amendment the way it treats the second, you’d have to get approval to speak or publish anything, IOW, to exercise the right.

What do they fail to understand about “shall not be infringed”?

Before we can stop all these politicians from passing all these UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWS, we have to eliminate all these “LOW INFORMATION VOTERS” that voted for them.
