Americans Abandoning Free Speech Better Brace for the Consequences

And yet she was punished with losing her committee assignments because of her speech.
Certainly that has a chilling effect on the concept of free speech.

 

Probably same reason King was stripped of his committee assignments in 2019.

 

Well, kinda or yes and no. A congressperson cannot be either criminally or civilly prosecuted for anything said on the floor of congress.

 

I learned from the Japanese/American interment camps that if the people in power want to do something NOTHING will stop them.

 

let's not also forget leper colonies, compliments of Democrat politicians

What really shocks me is how many Democrat voters have no clue as to the statist and racist policies of their party. Leftists do what leftists do; freedom and liberty is not on their list of things to do. The only way to rationalize it is to consider that Democrat voters actually believe that they know what is best for the rest of us, as we are incapable of leading our own lives without more control by them. That in itself is frightening

 

That's because they don't currently exist.

Life liberty and the pursuit of justice?
All men are created equal?

 

nobody voted Democrat????

I'm saying my use of the phrase 'low educated' was an invalid reason to have my post deleted by the moderator, owing to the moderator's ridiculous standards, which no forum I've ever posted to would have done. I should think it was common sense. I can only conclude the moderator doesn't grasp the first amendment. .

Other than that, I have no idea what you are talking about as it pertains to this subthread.

 

Now even blowing off steam isn't safe:

 

Their hypocrisy is astounding. If the target of the media barons happened to be Democrats, these folks would be running around with their hair on fire. We know it and so do they. BLATANT HYPOCRISY.

 

I agree it used to be! Now it's as dependable as sun rise and sunset!

 

You can say what you like. Other people just have no legal duty to publish it.

That's how freedom of speech has always worked.
