Sedition and treason are not protected speech.
Neither are death threats, libel, or a whole slew of things.
You can’t even cause a panic by yelling ‘Fire’ in a crowded theater.
One of the reasons the Progressive Left is aligned with the terrorists and Jihadi is because they provide threats and manufacture a series of crisis that provide a pretext for the Left to impose it’s agenda.
On major part of the Left’s agenda is to shut down and criminalize ideas and speech in opposition to it’s agenda . That’s the whole goal of the Political Correctness movement. Here we see the NY Times using ISIS internet propaganda as a pretext to regulate the First Amendment rights of the American people, which is totally unnecessary.
In the past we have put in place specific and targeted Anti Sedition laws that target enemy propaganda and seditious behavior to accomplish what the NY Times is proposing without affecting the First Amendment rights of the American people on other topics.
A narrowly written anti sedition law with a suitable sunset period narrowly targeting Islamic Jihadi radical and declaring ISIS/Islamic proselytizing and recruiting for Jihad seditious and illegal is all that is needed.
The NY Times is bitterly opposed to such an action because it only targets Islamic Radicals without impacting the honest, hard working members of American society that play by the rules and are no threat to national security.
What the NY Times wants are laws that severely limit and regulate the First Amendment rights (regulated by the Progressive Left , of course) of the American people that will restrict, inhibit and intimidate Americans free speech and have the maximal negative impact on our freedoms and create maximal disruption in the lives of ordinary American while having minimal impact on the actions Radical Islamic who are proselytizing Islamic supremacy, instituting Sharia Law and calling all devout Muslims to do their sacred duty to serve Allah by waging violent Jihad upon the non believers
