Obama Secretly Signs No Free Speech Bill
Mr. Conservative ^ | 1/17/14 | Robert Rich

Posted on 01/17/2014 3:36:56 PM PST by Blood of Tyrants

Long gone may the days be where the people of the United States have the right to express themselves freely under the First Amendment. Obama just signed a bill into law secretly that allows for Secret Service to arrest anyone publicly protesting within their vicinity.

The bill turned law, H.R. 347, has passed through congress with little objection from either side, or the American public. This could be on account of lawmakers sneaking it through congress allowing for no real discussion on the matter until after it was passed.

The law effectively allows for secret service, or anyone under secret service protection, to dictate public demonstrations. If they find anyone to be in violation of the law, people arrested would be charged with a felony and potentially subjected to over a year in prison.

As always with dictatorships everywhere, public dissent is not allowed.

How did this get through the House? Did they really think it was a good idea?

Sure, the Republicans figure that soon they will have their own President.

HR 347 was passed last year?

He must have the number wrong because HR 347 is buried in committee and has nothing to do with free speech.

That was rhetorical wasn't it?

It was passed but it was an amendment to adjust wording. So far nothing really has changed.

The republicans are doing a great job pissing off millions of conservatives in their own party. They never seem to stop any of the freedom killing bills pushed by democrats. Could it be that most of them want the same thing as the democrats? The republicans talk about freedom and small government but their actions don't match their words.

Yes they are. You have to wonder why the GOP has taken their greatest opportunity ever and are squandering it. It is almost as if they really are losing on purpose.

Since the House Speaker is John Hussein Boehner and his cohorts are Barak Eric Cantor and Paul Rodham Ryan, that is a very good question.

Thanks for revealing their "real" names.

Seems to be spot-on....

Of course, it is a badly soiled "spot".

I am not finding the ‘no free speech’ part.
