A poll released Wednesday by the online pollster YouGov has found that a plurality of the American public, as well as a majority of Democrats, support limiting the First Amendment to allow a ban on hate speech.

The left is getting more ugly every day!

The purpose of the First Amendment is to protect "offensive" speech. It is not needed to protect everyday speech.

Now the Socialist Democrats, Marxists, Communists, and other leftists want to parse free speech to separate out that which they do not want to hear.

We already have speech police who condemn something someone said ten years ago. Is this not insanity? Are we headed to chaos? Are we "there" yet?

Are we headed to chaos? Are we "there" yet?

We are headed for chaos, because those seeking to impose a Nazi type regime on America are totally clueless as to how human societies actually function--that is with respect to the ongoing dynamic interaction that leads to predictable results. But in the meanwhile, we are living with a combination of the confusion in the streets, that predated the Nazi takeover in Germany, with a large dose of the even more extreme Bolshevik theory being spouted by the leaders of the new morphed Democratic Party.

I focus more on the Nazi aspect of what is transpiring, because of some of the street action--largely misunderstood by the Leftwing apologists in the media. What happened in Baltimore, the other week, was very similar to the Crystal Night riots in Germany in 1938, where shops were not only looted and destroyed; but those who controlled Law enforcement actually protected the organized thugs. This is an interesting, but extremely dangerous, evolution of the street riot in America.

I was particularly struck by it, because the Mayor who ordered the Police to effectively "stand-down," was a graduate of my Alma Mater! As confused as the "Liberals," there in my day; they would not have gone that far.
