By prosecuting words, they attempt to control thoughts and opinions. Doesn’t work with me.
Libs usually go by the dictum that speech that offends somebody or some group has to be censored. Not only will some people's feelings be hurt, the "offensive" speech MIGHT!!! eventually cause physical harm.
In short, you have a small group of people who set themselves up as judge and jury who think it just and proper to illegally censor the speech i.e. rights of others.
This is what is has happened in Europe and Canada. Petty fascists have had people thrown in jail for making "offensive" comments. And of course, libs would like to see it done here. Thrown in jail for "offending" a particular favored group(s).
