House Budget Committee chair Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) called Sunday for a ban on teenagers wearing

Before Donald Trump’s Presidency is up, there WILL be a serious and concerted effort to openly and unapologetically suppress these sorts of ideas, slogans, merchandise and apparel.

I think we are coming upon a
They Came for the Jews and I not Jewish so I ‘didn’t care’.
They came for the Blacks and I’m not Black so i ‘didn’t care’
etc etc etc etc
They came for me and there wasn’t ANYBODY left to care.
—Moment.
Now that the Civil War and all the statues and honors are being besmirched, how long before the WWI and WWII statues etal are dust and pushed aside?
Will I live long enough to see some fool try to ban me from wearing my Vietnam Veteran hat?
Will I live long enough to see some fool try to ban me from wearing any US Navy gear?
I guess we say ‘never happen’ BUT the way things are trying to head, WE (us straight white types) had better be checking out the American Indian and see how they fared after allowing US to take over and run them out of THEIR country.
Chicken little? I don’t think so....
Well my experience with teenagers when you tell thdm not to do something they do it, MAGA!
That one didn’t pass the smell test. It smells much like that Trump supporter in the mail bomb scare. Smells like Brad Woodhouse, or some a-hole like that.
Reread the First Amendment, you fascist pig.
Well, it was obvious that these outstanding citizens should not have been arrested based on their clothing.
To the Left, it depends on the mass murderer.
Yeah that would be a direct violation of the First Amendment, you nitwit. There wouldn’t be a clearer violation than that.
Why not REQUIRE them to wear MAGA hats, just like the Jews in Germany were REQUIRED to wear a Star of David, just so they could be identified as the “enemy” or the “untrustworthy” ones? That way we can figure out who the true “fascists” are!
The assumption the Freepers make is that the left would object to First Amendment violations.
Untrue. They would, with a sinister smile, applaud it.
There is not a single Amendment in the first 10, in our Bill of Rights, that they agree with.
This is real. This man wants to outlaw a hat just because it has a so-called offensive message that triggers leftists.
What else might they ban for the same reason? I’m sure the list is endless. As usual, freedom loses.
Certain groups of people in this country do not have freedom of speech.
In the pre-1776 days you could freely say all the nice, positive things you wanted about the British and King George.
Negative, harsh things about them often meant imprisonment or hanging.
How is it different today when males are so chilled by
intimidation that they cannot express opinions, say words,go to restaurants if you are seen as supporter of President Trump,or wear garments that leftists don’t agree with?
Ask the founder of Papa John, Curt Schilling, Jimmy the Greek Snyder,Rep. Steve King, or many others not as famous.
I realize employees, public officials and so on are different than average people, but free speech is lavishly used by the Left but suppressed on the Right. TV hosts or comics can make anti-Trump slander or threats and get pats on the back. Talk radio conservatives lose sponsors or their stations or their jobs over a slip of the tongue.
I just read Can You Be Fired for Hate Speech? Doesnt the First Amendment Protect Speech? by Tom Spiggle.-—I am not promoting him or his firm and don’t know anything about him. It was just interesting.

We will only be allowed to wear hats and clothes with messages affirming liberal causes.
Allowed would be support of causes such as :
Planned Parenthood
Democrat presidential candidates
Same sex marriage
The spectrum of gender identity/gender dysphoria issues
Black lives matter
Global warming
On the other hand, any statements or symbols which contradicts what the Ministry of Liberalism deigns to be allowable, is thus banned. And any such persons displaying such will be cited for inciting a riot.
In cases of violence, the attackers will not be the ones charged with violence. Instead, those who would wear MAGA hats or contradict the liberal causes of the day will be charged with inciting the violence which results.
This is where we are headed.
Yep, it’s frustrating to see people wearing Che T shirts.
You really wonder, do these idiots have any idea who the real Che Guevara was, what he did, what he stood for, and how anyone could in good conscience wear such a shirt.
On the other hand, how about forbidding “native americans” taking their drums off the reservation? Or would that be racist?
Peaceful coexistence with these people is not possible. We should stop pretending that it is.

“I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of teenagers wearing MAGA hats until we can figure out what is going on.”
Who is going to enforce the shutdown and by what means?
If it’s by getting up close and personal, an eyeful of pepper spray will send a powerful countermessage.
Party of the Donkey is full of aggressively stupid people. Bad things are coming.
If they did, ConservaTeen, his siblings and their friends will wear them and if they get stopped we will sue the Federal Government for supporting a Criminal organization - the Dems.
