We don't know how precious something is until it's about to be taken away. The devil really does not care about what we believe or even do, he wants us to just shut up, keep it to ourselves. The center of this idea of the suppression of free speech is the TRUTH in Christ. In reality we have "free" will, no matter what our outward circumstances are, thus in that free will, I have the freedom to speak. The question is am I willing to exercise my free will to speak freely when it will cost me something, like my life. Am I willing to stand up for the truth no matter what the cost? This is our calling for these times. This is the example Jesus set for us as He submitted Himself to the suffering of the cross for our sake to show His live for us, can we show that same love for Christ by doing the same for Him, to show that we love Him just as much as He loved us?

Speaking of A I, did you happen to see the fully fabricated A I images going around of Trump hugging a bunch of dark black women? His minions are spreading it onto social media to trick the dumber blacks into thinking it's OK to vote for him. Think of the wooden duck decoy in the water, placed there to attract real ducks so they can get blasted by a shotgun.

I fear for democracy with all of the fakery going on in the months leading up to elections.

A long time ago on the now half-defunct Hannity & Colmes, Sean Hannity and their conservative guest bellowed how Leftwing speech needs to be punished or at least reeled in HARD. The catalyst for this opinion was some "artist" in NY who put an image of the Virgin Mary in urine and slapped it with elephant dung. (If memory serves me correct.)

This is just another time in political history when the parties trade places. It's not even interesting.

Oh and the bit about some "Karen" calling the hotline for money? It would by definition be the other way around: it'd be a VICTIM of the Karen complaining ABOUT the Karen. Otherwise this was a very tidy and well-written little bit.

Archive regularly. Of course, once this gets down the road a ways, only hard copies will make a difference. What's the song apropos of this:

Yeah, it looks like Ron DeSantis' attempt at throttling free speech luckily got smacked down pretty hard: https://truthout.org/articles/federal-appeals-court-calls-floridas-stop-woke-act-a-first-amendment-sin/?utm_source=Truthout&utm_campaign=bb770c7b5d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_11_16_07_22_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-3a19fc1bfc-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D

No matter which side of the aisle, we must stop authoritarian monsters like Ron DeSantis every time they try to silence Americans.

No one will tell me what to say, what to believe, what to think or what to be. If anyone or anything is trying to control you in any way, it is always for their benefit and never for yours.

Can I still roll my eyes, is that legal?

Free speech was always a sham. The evil can say whatever they want. They hate the good, the beautiful and the true.

If anybody thinks that the assault on the First Amendment rights of free speech, assembly, religion are bad, just imagine how bad that assault would be if it the Second Amendment did not exist. It is the government fear of millions of gun owners that has kept the assault somewhat moderate. Slowly (although the pace is increasing) government attempts to eat away at our right to keep and bear arms. Law-abiding citizens have been fighting this intrusion by purchasing about one million guns each month. More important than protecting the First Amendment is protecting and preserving our Second Amendment. Without 2A, 1A would no longer exist. Resist, do not comply. Stock up on arms and ammo. Be proactive and defend your rights.

I saw a clip where Whoopi Goldberg said that if the Supreme Court gives Trump presidential immunity (which he already has), that Biden should just go out and arrest all of the Maga voters without impunity. AOC said something similar. Honestly, could liberals become more unhinged? Can you even imagine if a Conservative said something similar? They would be lambasted and fired. So there's plenty of free speech, but it's only on one side of the aisle.

Well, Conservatives HAVE been saying it, and the so-called establishment media just reports on it for maybe ten seconds and moves on. Notably when the young punk at CPAC pointed out the obvious that their Jan 6 attempt at throttling democracy failed, and then Jabba the hut, oops, Steve Bannon shook his hand and agreed heartily with him.

And how much air play did Ron DeSantis' attempt at shitting on the 1st Amendment get? (https://truthout.org/articles/federal-appeals-court-calls-floridas-stop-woke-act-a-first-amendment-sin/?utm_source=Truthout&utm_campaign=bb770c7b5d-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_11_16_07_22_COPY_02&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-3a19fc1bfc-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D) Because I saw not one word until this article.

You call it the stop woke act, but its real name is The Individual Freedom Act. Rather than suppressing freedom of speech, it's actually designed to protect children from critical race theory. So you don't think that parents have a right to decide whether their kids are taught that they are inferior because of their ethnicity? That's the definition of racism.

She's a very smart lady, whereas Whoopi is an imbecile. This woman should have a talk show, not Goldberg.
