California Democrat Party Comes Out Against Freedom of Speech

 

 

The current incarnation of the Democrat party does not think much of the Bill of Rights.  Case in point is this gem of a resolution passed by the Democrat Convention in California:

 

WHEREAS, Protecting First Amendment rights is critical, but is also limited to exclude hate speech using the concept that offending statements first should be viewed through the lens of the party experiencing the hate, and that Jews, LatinX, African-American, Asian Pacific Islander, Muslims, Disabilities and LGBTI communities can be targets of oppression and hate speech for a variety of reasons.

Go here to read the rest.  Thus in the name of tolerance a traditional freedom enjoyed by Americans is to be done away with.  California, where the Democrats reign unchecked, is to be a model for what they plan on a national scale.  Of course there is no mystery to this proposal.  Any ideas not in accord with the current loony Left trajectory of the Party of the Jackass, will be deemed hate speech, and those expressing such views will be suppressed by governmental force.  George Washington warned us about this long ago:

“For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”

George Washington, Newburg Address, March 15, 1783

The Left in general opposes robust debate because they tend not to be very good at it.  Far better to label critics racists, and drive them from the public square.  If this country ever experiences a second Civil War, it will be because the Left is doings its worst to silence civil debate.

Paul….a disciple of sorts put it this way;

Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
I know a man, he came from my home town
He wore his passion for his woman like a thorny crown
He said “Delores, I live in fear
My love for you is so overpowering
I’m afraid that I will disappear”
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
I know a woman, became a wife
These are the very words she uses to describe her life
She said “A good day ain’t got not rain”
She said “A bad day’s when I lie in bed
And I think of things that might have been”
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
And I know a father who had a son
He longed to tell him all the reasons for the things he had done
He came a long way just to explain
He kissed his boy as he lay sleeping
Then he turned around and he headed home again
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
God only knows, God makes his plan
The information’s unavailable to the mortal man
We’re working our jobs, collect our pay
Believe we’re gliding down the highway
When in fact we’re slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
Slip slidin’ away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you’re slip slidin’ away

They, the California dems, believe themselves to be wise. No. They are just “progressing” to a level of depravity that the city of bad angels have known since their departure from Heaven. Hell upon Earth is their battle cry. Hate speech?
They know about it all right. They created it and use it now as a weapon upon good people. Their Father taught them that trick.

“viewed through the lens of the party experiencing the hate, and that Jews, LatinX, African-American, Asian Pacific Islander, Muslims, Disabilities and LGBTI communities can be targets”

I notice there are a lot of people groups not mentioned in that list.

Well, that makes their hate targets clear, doesn’t it?
