The Democrats cannot win the debate on facts and logic, and now they want to silence speech. This is about as anti-American as you can be.

Any person, unit, body or organization that is for this is controlled by the State. Oh and make no mistake they are a communist too.

DISMANTLE the FEC

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM/TOTALITARIANISM

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

PC has been one of their tools.

I have long dreaded the day that has clearly been coming when I sit down to check FreeRepublic and it ain’t there. For me that day will be The Day when it is clearly over here. Gotta admit my heart skips a beat when I try to login and the server is down.

FEC Translation = We only want to see and hear one side and that is Leftist Point of View

THAT is what these Tyrants call freedom. When they can't win they cannot win the debate on facts and logic, then they attack the messenger. Although even saying words like “hater” and “racist” gets worn out. So they go to plan B. Silence ANY opposition to their twisted view of things.

ONLY an Authoritarian Control Freak like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Fidel Castro and Kim Jong Un would think this is reasonable. After all only they know the answer to everything.

I'd be interested in seeing the rules democrats devise to control progressive-liberal political speech on the internet.

Before the revolution of 1776, Thomas Paine and Peter Zenger were the bloggers of their day. Paine and his pamphleteers set the course this country would take and the Crown tried unsuccessfully to shut them down.

Now we have Alice Ravel trying to again use Royal power to squelch dissent.

It won’t work, Alice. There are more of us than there are of you.

“There are more of us than there are of you.”

It takes roughly 10% of the population with guns to control the 90% without guns. Hence the ever present push to take away guns.

However, through regulations and the court one ideologue can control everybody. A man I know was burning his kitchen waste. A neighbor called the county EPA. They swooped in like a SWAT and put out the fire. They sifted the ashes and bagged and tagged the waste. They wrote him a ticket which counts as a criminal arrest. He couldn’t pay the fine and now can’t get a state driver’s license until he does. It went into collection where they added 40% to it. I take him to work almost every day. By using the outsized leverage of the state is how the governing class gets their way.

That's OK since we will all be able to meet up and commiserate together in the re-education camps.

If you know the facts on this case even if it wasn’t published I encourage you to write a report post it here in FR’s as a topic. These are examples of how out of control things are getting to be particularly with the EPA.

I favor the curtailment of political trash on MSNBC and CNN.

The action will result in shutting both of them down and possibly the egregious NBC as well.
