The First Amendment was never meant to be controlled. From Jonathan Turley at jonathanturley.org:
Below is my column in Fox.com on renewed attacks on free speech and the apologists for this anti-free speech movement, including most recently comedian Jon Stewart. From moves to amend the First Amendment to mocking those being targeted, the left is pushing back at polls and efforts to restore free speech values.
Here is the column:
“The First Amendment Is Out of Control.” That headline in a recent column in the New York Times warned Americans of a menace lurking around them and threatening their livelihoods and very lives. That menace is free speech and the media and academia are ramping up attacks on a right that once defined us as a people.
In my new book “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” I discuss how we are living in the most dangerous anti-free speech period in our history. An alliance of the government, corporations, academia, and media have assembled to create an unprecedented system of censorship, blacklisting, and speech regulation. This movement is expanding and accelerating in its effort to curtail the right that Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis once called “indispensable” to our constitutional system.
It is, of course, no easy task to convince a free people to give up a core part of identity and liberty. You have to make them afraid. Very afraid.
Feeble minds can’t handle free speech and that was always a ruse, I disagree but defend your right to free speech.
Just like a certain peaceful religion, deception is part of the playbook, taking advantage of tolerance to the point of abuse.
Don’t like the 1st amendment?
Then GTFO off the air and go do social media then, comrade but don’t cry when your speech gets censored for the good of the soft weak queefy collective.
And no one gives a rat’s ass about your Karl Marx shrine, commie.
Wasn’t that Jay Carney Barker with the sulfur stench shrine and some apparatchik in the “historic” Year Zero bathhouse Barry comrade chairman Mau Mau regime just loved her some chairman Mao.
Anita Dunn it says and GTFO with that commie horseshit.
