Sorry, I cannot agree with you. I have heard this same argument against this, that or the other thing that is really really bad ad nauseum for most of the 70+ years of my life — if we do ban whatever it is, then we can ban everything.
So we are in the mess we are in because we seem to be unable to stop whatever horrible thing the left is doing in the name of the Bill of Rights.
However, this is suicide. Evil practices, evil ideas, and evil people must be stopped because if we don’t, then eventually we will lose what it is that we are seeking to protect.
For example, I remember back in the day, when our state legislature (as I remember) was trying to do something about pornography and your argument was made — if we try to prevent the publication/sale of pornography, then we can ban the bible, etc. So the pornography industry flourishes and gets more and more invasive; now our society accepts perversions of all sorts.
Or another example: Allowing leftist doctrines in our schools, communist agitators on our campuses, etc., all in the name of free speech. But what do you think is going to happen when they win? No more free speech; in fact you could end up in a concentration camp or even be killed, if you express an opinion contrary to the powers that be. We are near that point now.
Freedom of speech should not need to be “protected” to the point of suicide. Those who would speak to overthrow our culture, our way of life, our freedom and our prosperity do not deserve and should not receive the protections of that free society — if we allow this corruption and poison to grow and grow, eventually it will overtake us, and all that we are and all that we have will be lost.
Our protections of Bill of Rights, the birthright of every American citizen should be granted only protect to those who would honor and preserve the Bill of Rights, those who would use the Bill of Rights (i.e., the ChiComs who own Tik-Tok and have no respect for freedom of any kind) should be banned.
That is the standard we should use — those who would destroy our country do not deserve and should not receive the protections of the Bill of Rights.
Ban them now, or watch them ban all that we hold dear.
Sorry, with all respect due, But that is about the silliest thing I have ever heard.
