For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.
—George Washington
Washington was on to something. There is no more vital safeguard of our liberties than freedom of speech. Without it, we are, as Washington graphically notes, “like sheep led to the slaughter.”
Benjamin Franklin (writing as the widow Silence Dogood) said it as plainly as it could be said.
In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.
This is one of those truths that appear to be self-evident. But today, only some speech is considered “free.” The rest must comport with a dizzying number of rules, conventions, and arbitrary guidelines that makes a mockery of the concept of free speech.
The left just doesn’t get it. They have lost sight of the beautiful simplicity of the concept of free speech. “If you can think it, you can speak it,” is no longer operative in America. It’s been lost. And if we don’t find it …
Get in line my fellow sheep. How bad can it get, right?

It's even worse than that. Such people used to say "I feel that...", but now they say "I feel like...[insert opinion]."
In other words, their feelings become their identity.
Because they lie.
Because they are evil Marxists.
The 2nd Amendment is there to protect the 1st Amendment.
Sorry, the new czar of the ministry of disinformation has the personality and temperament that reminds me of Deloris Umbridge from Harry Potter and all the insanity that comes with it. I would not be surprised if a full pink suite was not in the closet too.
Thanks for reading. Had to get it off my chest.
Disproving their lies is now being called disinformation.

Easy....It exposes their lies.
Do you really think they believe men can give birth and that children are abused if they aren’t saturated with every sexual deviancy they can imagine?
They have nothing!
Free speech means that a majority of Americans can oppose the Left’s positions from the economy to cultural rot. They want the Marxism and rot. It’s that easy.
Free speech is what hinders their NWO goals.
The democrats hate George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and all the founders of the United States.
