We’re getting beat down at rally’s and pushed further and further with each passing year and our side is still just talking.

I’m now firmly in my brother in laws camp. Right thinking Americans are simply too busy, too comfortable, too scared or all 3 to stand up to the left.

It only protects people screaming “Raaaaaaarrrrrrr!” in a high voice.

Consider taking a look at Berkeley; at 4Chan; at Reddit’s The_Donald channel; and looking up from Fox or CNN to read the rollback of regulations and the removal of Deep State plants to see what’s actually happening behind the constant Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee from the Anti-First-Amendment left.

I’ll admit, the MSM don’t make it trivial to find out, but don’t panic. The people are definitely busy but neither comfortable nor scared.

Hate speech is anything any given person that loves Obama and Clinton says it is.

Duh.

Don’t you know anything?!

Sheesh! /s

” 4Chan; at Reddit’s The_Donald channel”

Both good sources for raw intel and ferreting out the identities of antifa cowards.

But probably hard for those used to clean and clear formats to follow. Easier when their information gets picked up by Breitbart, Gateway Pundit and other such sites.

If the first amendment prohibited “hate speech” no Democrat would EVER be allowed to open his or her (or its) mouth in public again.

Re Howard Dean. Just because you are/were a doctor doesn’t mean that you can’t be batshit crazy at the same time. Dean is living proof of this axiom.

I’m now awaiting for bats to complaint that I mentioned them in describing Weird Howard. I apologize to them, esp. the Fruit Bats who are harmless creatures.

If the First Amendment didn’t protect hate speech, then the left would have to shut up.

Hey, Howie...

If the 1st amendment doesn’t permit “hate” speech, then that means Sharpton, J. Jackson, BLM, antiFA, etc., would all be deprived of stirring up violence.

Wonder if Howie realizes he just said the First Amendment doesn’t protect 97.4% of what comes out of the Left.....

Howard Dean’s reply to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, ... “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for, ... “
