Virginia Democrats Push Legislation to Make Criticism of Government Officials a Criminal Offense
BLP ^ | Jan 22, 2020 | Shane Trejo

In the wake of the Virginia gun rights rally on Monday, Democrats in the Capitol are not slowing down their push for tyranny. They are moving a bill through the legislature that would effectively criminalize dissent against Governor Blackface Northam and other state government officials.

House Bill 1627 was introduced by Delegate Jeffrey M. Bourne last week. The legislation “provides that certain crimes relating to threats and harassment may be prosecuted in the City of Richmond if the victim is the Governor, Governor-elect, Lieutenant Governor, Lieutenant Governor-elect, Attorney General, or Attorney General-elect, a member or employee of the General Assembly, a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia, or a judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia.”

Language in the bill explicitly criminalizes free speech, in what would constitute a blatant attack on the 1st Amendment of the Constitution.

Communism is now a form of fascism. Both work with the means of production, both are philosophically about ruling through force and intimidation, both are oligarchs,

the essentially are the same, in the end. And calling a communist a fascist, is not only true, but it riles them.


I guess you’ve not read Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, The Psychology of Mass Fascism or any other definitive work on Communism and Fascism, but are making it up as you feel it should be (from your abbreviated, simplified, and self-made definitions), not as it actually is.

Calling a Communist a Fascist is a philosophical fallacy, but it does rile them because Hitler betrayed Stalin - it’s as simple as that. Else you misread your history. Not sure how much of the 20th century you missed, maybe all of it, if you are young enough.

Right now we are witnessing the rise of the Communist revolutionary vanguard in Bernie Sanders and his professional campaign workers.

150 million? Ha, they’re chasing the record.

VOTE DEMOCRAT. KILL BABIES.


Minimizing the murders of 150 million plus men, women and children does not help.

This outstanding, easy to understand video should appear as a permanent fixture on FR’s home page.

No argument from me but that's not my call. That's the Bosses'.

I learned more about government and history from that 10 minutes than I did all through school.

The slightly terrifying thing is, we can see that unfolding before our very eyes in the news we watch every day.

Keep pushing stupid

History is filled with disagreements that were resolved through means other than talk. Songs and movies have been made about such happenings.

Go back up and read post #42.

The entire thing is relatively subjective. How many times have we heard folks on the Left screaming that someone was "harassing" them just for having a different opinion or calling them out on their lies?
