Freedom of Speech

Our esteemed Founding Fathers gave the American people the Bill of Rights with its 10 very important amendments. There is a reason they put Freedom of Speech as number one: 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.”

You can be very confident that if Democrats cheat and install Kamala “Word Salad” Harris and Tim “China” Walz in the White House, freedom of speech will go the way of Nehru jackets. Democrats do not care that freedom of speech (including satire and parody) is constitutionally protected. Here is a sampling of comments Democrats have said about taking away our first amendment:

Kamala Harris:

“If you don’t police your social media platform we will hold you accountable."

Tim Walz:

“There’s no guarantee to free speech."

Hillary Clinton:

“Americans should be criminally charged for misinformation."

Gavin Newsom:

“Safeguarding the integrity of elections is essential to democracy, and it’s critical that we ensure AI is not deployed to undermine the public’s trust through disinformation.”

“Misinformation” or “disinformation” are in the eye of the beholder.   So, I think it's time to look at all the leaders in the Democrat party who are upset at these views.  First on the list is .....well..... no one.  How about those Republicans who claim they can't support Trump over his rhetoric and views like Liz Chaney and Larry Hogan who's running for Senator out of Maryland, along with others?  Crickets.  Remarkable, and we're shocked why?

It's clear anything that challenges the lies, the programs, the corruption of the Democrat party will be termed as either “misinformation” or “disinformation” if Kamala is elected who will then turn the deep state loose on America.   We need to understand the censorship efforts we've seen thus far is merely a harbinger of what will become common place under Kamala.
