Only illustrates how blessed we are to have had the Founders.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,”

> “European Media Freedom Act” <

You’ve got to give today’s leftists credit for one thing. They are really good at picking pleasant names for their evil programs.

We see that here in the US too. One example is Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act”, which of course caused more inflation.

Amazing how they mirror what we do. The name of a bill or law does the exact opposite of what it says.

George Orwell warned us in his book “1984”. We did not listen.

There are no longer any classical and tolerant liberals. So that’s pretty much true of all leftists everywhere these days.

Why are we allies of these people?

They are as much enemies of freedom as any of our declared enemies.
