Two national sedition acts had been passed in the United States by the end of the twentieth century. The first, passed by the Federalist-dominated Congress (democrats) of 1798, (John Adams, President, big government guy) aimed to halt Republican (yep, Republican) criticism of the government.
The Sedition Act of 1918 was passed by a Democrat Congress and Woodrow Wilson, (Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission and America's first-ever federal progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913).
The Sedition Act hastened the spread of wartime xenophobic hysteria, climaxing in the red scare and the Palmer Raids. The scare had run its course by the early 1920s, and the Sedition Act was repealed in 1921 by the REPUBLICANS who then controlled the House and Senate.
In this instance I am hesitant to refer to the invasion of the united States by 30 million criminal illegal alien border and immigration law violators as "xenophobic hysteria." I consider it to be the equivalent of war.
"Sedition." Created by democrats, repealed by Republicans, gone for 89 years yet the label is still being pasted on Republican American Citizens.
Soooo, one - more - time.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security...
If that means kicking them out or just plain leaving, so be it. It is our right and duty.
It is NOT a permission from a government.
