The only kind of ‘censoring’ that may/should/could be allowed in the country, should be by the defense department and its associated spy agencies.

Otherwise, anybody that advocates censorship, should be brought up on charges of limiting our first amendment rights.

Just one more Democrat wannabe totalitarian who hates the most precious concepts embodied in the Constitution.

May his favorite Mexican cartel take a sudden dislike of him.

Our glorious Senator:

Kelly joked that his twin brother had his DNA altered during a year-long stint on the ISS and had turned into a monkey, so they changed his name to Rodrigo and released him back into the wild.

A loose dog belonging to Mark Kelly (or, ahh, his daughter) savagely attacked and killed a beached baby sea lion.

Tucson gun store where Mark Kelly recently purchased an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle canceled the transaction because Kelly did not plan to keep the rifle for his personal use.

Another slippery slope the left wants us to go down

The government should not be allowed to censor anything. Free speech is not free if the government can restrict any speech.
