DEMOCRATS MOVE TO SILENCE NON-LIBERAL SPEECH

the Democrats are also trying to drive independent voices off the more traditional broadcast and cable platforms. Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center sent out an email today that included this:

The war against conservatives on social media has turned into a war against conservative broadcast media, as well. The House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology will hold a hearing tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. entitled “Fanning the Flames: Disinformation and Extremism in the Media.” But will the Democrats in this hearing talk about the lies from CNN or MSNBC? Probably not, since the memorandum for the hearing specifically cited articles that bashed Fox News, Newsmax, and “conservative media.”

Two Democratic representatives have gone even further in their fight against the First Amendment. Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Jerry McNerney (D-CA) wrote letters to the heads of multiple TV providers. The letters demanded answers to questions such as “Have you ever taken any actions against a channel for using your platform to disseminate any disinformation?” and “Are you planning to continue carrying Fox News, Newsmax, and OANN?” Unsurprisingly, the letters made no mention of any liberal news organization.

Please watch the hearing and comment on it.

Yes, please do! I have been following politics closely for more than five decades, and the Democratic Party’s war on freedom of speech is the most sinister thing I have witnessed in that time. What is truly chilling is how few Democrats are willing to stand up for freedom. I know of three: Tulsi Gabbard, Matt Taibai and Glenn Greenwald. Kudos to them, but it is shocking that not a single current Democrat office-holder is, as best we can tell, in favor of free speech. We are facing an existential threat to our traditional liberties.

The Nazis silenced all opposition. And we know what happened there. Democrats are following the same pattern

I’ve been saying for the last couple of years..Dems make the Nazis and the KKK look normal.....

When lawmakers call for censorship it is a clear violation of the first amendment. This is not hiding behind “it’s a private company”; this is blatantly unconstitutional.

NEVER trust any source that calls the Leftist fascists “liberals”. If they are using their words, then they are playing their games.

We need to be exposing Democrats' political extremism, financing muscle-power to silence us. Lest you not be convinced,
Organized Democraps' are readying the "muscle" power against us. DCCC's newest employee is an ex-gang member on parole in NY.

Dyjuan Tatro, a former "triggerman" for an upstate New York gang, began his DCCC employment this week.

Tatro is the Democrats' senior adviser for ....wait for it....."diversity and inclusion."

In lockstep w/ BLM, Democrats are muscling the political dialogue into what they call, "equal justice for people of color."

AG pick Garland (a USSC loser nom) outlined some of Democrats preliminary muscle-venues:
<><> discrimination in housing, education and jobs,
<><> unequal impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
<><> unequal impact from climate change.

There is a concerted effort to foment a civil war in the United States.

Each day brings more evidence.

A long time ago the British attempted to silence the fliers that were being published against them.

Our forefathers replied with their muskets.

The tradition is well established.

[Secret Agent Man]

every totalitarian regime does so

Keep a quick deed with you at all times. When libs start spouting off and lecturing us about white supremacy and racism hand them the quick deed and tell them, in public, to sign their house and car over to the nearest person of color. Libs just want to show us they are superior. Make the PROVE thy are. Make them give away all their stuff to the nearest person of color. They won’t do it off course but maybe it will shut them up. If they are in college shame them into giving up their spot in college to a person of color. They are plenty brave lecturing us about what we have to give up. Shame them into actually doing it.
