Political and Religious speech are the most important reasons for the First Amendment.
This twit must be a real whiz when it comes to the Second Amendment.

Have Congress declare Christianity the official religion of the United States and outlaw all other faiths A Christian caliphate? I guess you're not much into that 1st Amendment thingy, huh?

Just think of how close we were last November to having a “Ministry of Truth” to regulate all information disseminated. This woman is a “former” FCC board member, but she speaks for what would have been the policy of a 2nd Clinton regime. And Merrick Garland would have voted to uphold all of it.

>>The former Federal Election Commission chairwoman Ann M. Ravel says that political speech must be controlled on social media. She presented her remarks in a speech at UC Berkeley, calling for regulations against fake news.<<
The definition of “fake news” being decided by the leftists msm, correct?

The sarcasm went totally over your head, didn’t it?
They want to regulate the Right on the internet. The First Amendment says “no can do” but they don’t care.
Fine — I make a suggestion that we jam Christianity down their throats and outlaw their political views. My expectation is that THEY will wake up and remember that we have a First Amendment and that THEIR idea of regulating the Right on the internet is a “no can do”.

By the way, I also frequently make the case then when Gun Grabbers want to ignore the Second Amendment, I say "Fine, let's go in numerical order ..."
And then I explain (sarcastically) how we should force everyone to be a Christian and shut down all the Liberal newspapers. Then, after successfully ignoring the First Amendment, perhaps we can move on and consider ignoring the Second Amendment.
The point being that the Left always wants to ignore the parts of the Constitution that matter to us but they become outraged if we suggest ignoring the parts that they care about.

I was going to post that exactly!

I do hope you forgot the /sarcasm tag.
Or else you are just nuts and on the wrong board.

Different liberal female, same old sh**. When I get cranky, I just have to complain that ignorant liberal females will destroy this country and their right to vote is a disgrace. I know it's not PC but women are behind some of the issues that will kill this Republic. Take one look at the feminist nation of Sweden and tell me I am wrong.

Everyone knows that there's no way anyone can recognize sarcasm unless there is a helpful tag attached to the end of the sentence. [/s]
