Leftists don’t even make much of a pretense anymore; they don’t believe in the freedom of speech, and they mean to deny it to their political opponents. This is by far the most disturbing aspect of their agenda, for without the freedom to dissent, a tyrant can operate without any restraint whatsoever. Without the freedom of speech, there simply is no free society.
The latest example of the Left’s war on dissent comes from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Reparations), who has just introduced a bill in the House, the “Leading Against White Supremacy Act of 2023.” Only vicious racists could possibly object to combating white supremacy, right? Actually, the bill is cleverly framed, but like so many other Congressional initiatives, it’s far more insidious than its name would suggest.
The bill is designed to “prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.” The framers of the bill were thoughtful enough to provide a helpful explanation: “A person engages in a white supremacy inspired hate crime when white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of activity that, if effectuated, would have constituted a crime.”
All right. But how is it going to be determined whether or not “white supremacy ideology” motivated someone? We have been told repeatedly that “white supremacists,” also known as “domestic violent extremists,” are the biggest terror threat the nation faces today. Old Joe Biden, Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, and the FBI have all said this, and none of them would lie to us, now, would they?

Whites are being demarginalized but meanwhile, we’re at least 60% of the population. It could be more or less...
The left hates the First Amendment.
Freedom of speech is the freedom to offend. We have no freedom if we speak only what is allowed.
Here We Go: Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Introduces Bill to Criminalize Noticing Things That Aren’t For Noticing
She has one purpose with her bill, which was ordered up by Pelosi and company, and it is not to stop anyone’s speech.
The goal is to get a majority of Republicans to vote against it, so all the democrats and their pals in the media, academia, sports and entertainment can rage against the white supremacist GOP and their shameless MAGA voters.
The GOP should vote for it, and let the courts throw it out.
Well, I really don’t think they should vote for something so unconstitutional, but this is pure political agitation.
Whatever doubts I once had about the left ruining everything it touches are long gone.
Crazy, entitled and riddled with Marxist comprehensions is no way to go through life.
They do the Devil’s work but think they will not get the Devil’s pay.
and of course ‘hate speech’ will be determined by the left only and will be whatever they say it is on a case by case basis- liberals accused of hate speech will be declared innocent, while conservatives will always be found guilty-
This is why we have free speech law- to prevent one side or the other from arbitrarily dictating what can and can’t be said!
Especially in trailer parks
What a dolt. I guess she didn’t learn about “Brandenburg v. Ohio” in law school.
Congress Critters should have three choices on this vote: Yes-No-F%$#OFF.

If the Republicans support any more antiwhite legislation, acts, regulations, or utterances, they will dry up and blow away.
