My response to such:

“Nazis always think like you do.”

Actually threatening someone with violence seems like a bad thing to me.
Yelling “Fire!” in a crowded theater seems like a bad thing to me.

Although I might prefer that the First Amendment only limit the federal government (meaning: if Alabama wants to establish the Baptist Church as the official, mandated church of Alabama, that would be OK with me, but that ships has sailed and you can’t do that.) So the First Amendment has expanded to governments beyond the Feds.

I figure at this point, Free Speech should be expanded to any and all companies that allow people to speak. Meaning — I have no access to the NYT printing press, therefore the NYT can block me from voicing my opinion (they don’t have to publish my letter to the editor).

But Twitter is different. The whole idea of Twitter is that if you have an account, you can post. To me, that means a company like Twitter should not be allowed to block people. You have hateful opinions? OK. Go and post your hateful opinions about this group or that people. Twitter should be required to publish your hateful views. That’s Freedom. If Twitter doesn’t want to do that they should be in a different business.

Every time anything happens in the US, the Democrats want to create another law that is already on the books somewhere in our umpteen hundreds of laws we already have. Like the “Lynch Law”. Since when has lynching been a thing or lawful? Back in the old west yes but after that no. We don’t need another law to cover that. And every time a shooter gets it in their head to kill a bunch of people, the left will use it to go after anyone on the right. It’s what they do! What I see as the problem is the Repubs in Congress seem to go along with all this. If every single one of them would put their foot down and say “no more”, maybe we can start changing things for the better.

The treatment of Jan6 political prisoners tells us it’s already too late.
Enjoy the decline

The RATs have had such unimpeded control for so long, I half expect them to win this one. Viz. to pass laws against hate speech that enable them to pick and choose implementation.

Web sites like FR will become a thing of the past if that happens. DemoRAT U will live long and prosper.

“See Something, Say Something”

I remember when the word was “Snitches get stitches.”

I will not comply with unconstitutional “mandates”. I will not give up my right to free speech. I will exercise other enumerated rights to defend my position.

The Left has all sorts of ideas about beauty, but I do not share their ideas.

Thought Police Alert!

And why not?
Is there any slightest indication that the American people would either stop, seriously attempt to stop, or raise hell in the streets about this?

When the Japanese created the world's first Thought Police centuries ago, little did they know that it would become a world-dominant concept and mainstay of every tyrannical government since...

Our communist masters are living large and in total control...
This is just the bare-bones beginning...

When generations of Americans educated by government indoctrination schools realize how bad things are, they will band together, once again, on the Lexington Green or at Concord Bridge and chant:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
