[al baby]

You said Chink lmao you racist

[The Toll]

The rope awaits.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D., Calif.) said he would "love to be able to regulate the content of speech" during an interview Wednesday, noting he was prevented from doing that by the First Amendment.

Thus proving that, inside every Democrat, there's a Communist screaming to get out.

He is unfit to serve.

Democrat. Constitution protecting God-given rights is a major hindrance to their innate desires.

Ropes and lampposts, people. Onlyway we are going to save ourselves from these socialist totalitarians who know better than us and demand to micromanage every aspect of our lives, and are prepared to kill us with nukes if we oppose them.

[GOYAKLA]

If I had use the word hole, would that have been sexist or homophobic? ;^}

[GreyHoundSailor]

That only lasts as long as we have the means to fight back. Keep allowing incremental infringements on our 2nd amendment and the rest are up for grabs by the socialists. When they no longer fear us, we’re finished.

[Spok]

The definition is correct. Whether they are attacking the constitution, proclaiming the virtues of diversity, pretending to advocate for the poor, asserting the imagined rights of oppressed minorities or women, or gays, or transgenders, or illegal immigrants, they are the same people, promoting the same agenda, and furthering the same totalitarian objective. They believe nothing of what they say and are consumed by what they believe: the only moral imperative and universal constant is absolute power. “Dirtbags” dignifies and elevates them.

He was born in Taiwan.

Time to make being a Natural Born Citizen a Requirement for anyone seeking any Federal Office.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Exactly.

[Crucial]

That’s true. Leftists define hate speech is only possible against groups that support them.

[jonrick46]

This yahoo should be reprimanded by the House Ethics Committee.

[trebb]

Typical politician these days - the Constitution is an impediment to their desires....

[jmacusa]

“...but First Amendment stops me’’. I wouldn’t worry too much about the First comrade. It’s the Second that a guy like you has to be concerned.

[simpson96]

His constituents are either as Stalinist as he is, or, a special kind of stupid, for electing him.

There's really no other explanation.

[sport]

What do you expect when fools and idiots are allowed to vote?

[US_MilitaryRules]

This POS is my congressPOS. Everything we vote for loses. It sucks here in commiefronia. :(

[kanawa]

... and a totalitarian bleeds.

[Crucial]

Democrats want to destroy the country and reshape so their grip on power is solid.
