The 1st Amendment protects the right to peacefully assemble. One of the ways The People assemble is for the exchange of goods and services. And just as one has the right to NOT participate in a particular speech, one also has the right to NOT participate in a particular exchange of goods and services.

If I dont want to sell to you FOR ANY REASON, the 1st amendment protects that right. Public accommodation laws in direct contradiction to this right.

If HATE were censored, President Trump’s critics would not be allowed to say anything.


It’s not ‘hate’ when it comes from the left. It’s something like ‘speaking truth to power’ or a higher form of patriotism. We’re the ones their planning on coming after.

Only in the warped mind of a liberal would government oppression be considered a civil right

What about my civil rights as a conservative? Where is my civil right to embrace the 1st and 2nd amendments? To not be banned, to not have my commerce be blocked, to not be denied service at a store, shop, or restaurant?

I don’t believe that these clowns are in a position to do it. However doing it isn’t the point. It’s getting the meme going as widely as possible that it would be a desirable thing to do it. This in turn will drive political evolution.

Liberals have already claimed the words love, smart, educated, tolerant.
By their OWN definitions already reinforced in media and academia, they’re the only ones who act out of love.
By their own standards, everyone else is guilty of hate speech and so could be shut down under a “hate speech” law.
I had a liberal bully tell me FBI crime stats by race were hate facts. Government data that didn’t fit their narrative was equated to a hate crime, assault.
Even when the discourse is civil, liberal bullies discriminate against it as poor quality content (Twitter’s quality filters), stupid and irrational (fake news filters that censor any conservative source).
It is fascism in the name of feelings. It is warm and fuzzy branding that seeks totalitarian control. But Big Brother is Big Nanny, an overbearing mother who at first seems comforting and caring but is just as oppressive.

Twitter didn’t have a problem with liberal bullies’ hash tags kill all whites, kill all men, various kill all Jew hash tags used by the left.
Twitter has censored conservatives after a civil debate or after reams of actual threatened violence by the left, because they define conservative viewpoints themselves as evil.

Censorship is the tool of tyrants.

Time to boycott the left’s attempted takeover of the social media platforms.

This is America, and substitutions via competition are the American Way of doing things.

The white supremacists and neo-Nazis are also socialists.

Yet the old saying about freedom of speech still rings true.

“I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it”

Freedom of speech, you either have it or you don’t.

This is fascism: Business colluding with bureaucracy to control markets and competitors.
