“The Clampdown on Free Speech Intensifies”

Like in the United States, where Congress wants to make it criminal to protest Israel?

(don’t worry freedom lovers — you can still bash the United States all you want.)

Western Europe is lost forever.

The import of Sharia in the EU and Socialist Shock Troops (caravan) into the US is setting the stage for global socialism unlike anything we have ever seen.

I've seen no such indication from Congress or anyone; and you're still free, aren't you?

The politicians in the “West,” at the head of “free” countries, are now working to implement sharia. Oh, they won’t tell you that. You aren’t supposed to notice they are actively promoting the implentation of *slam.

There are areas in the USA, a formerly free country regulated by something called a “Constitution,” in which *slam is the law and the governing force.

It is an abomination to have an area in the country where the Constitution is not applied, but it’s a fact and a reality.

There is hope for the USA as long as Trump is president, but the moment the public puts its head back in its anal exit passageway and elects a dem, hope is lost.

I’m not a violent person, but after seeing the above image of the obviously low Towelhead, I had a flash: If I had a baseball bat, I’d enjoy knocking the flyer out of his hand with it...

(Oh, did I say that out loud? Whoops - sorry.)

I wonder how much of this comes from Western politicians being bought by OPEC money?

And what happens when they no longer have enough money to keep it going?

It is already too late to “recover Western European liberty.”

England, France, Germany, Scandinavia - all gone.

“Like in the United States, where Congress wants to make it criminal to protect Israel?”

Except that is a factually incorrect statement.
Congress has done nothing to prevent Israel from protecting it.

Please, provide evidence to back up your assertion if you do not want to appear a liar.

Of course, you can always respond with more incorrect assertions, ad hominems or red-herrings and it will merely prove you are ignorant.

Marxists and Muslims: united in love of tyranny and violence, and hatred of liberty and civility.

They share a mutual desire to destroy Western Civilization abd Biblical Christianity.

“Except that is a factually incorrect statement.

No clue what this means.

“Please, provide evidence to back up your assertion if you do not want to appear a liar.”

Ilan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were elected to the House. All three have professed their hatred of Israel and the Democrats. As of 2017, 74 Democrats and 4 Republicans in the house were openly anti-Israel, with Beto-O’Rourke, a potential presidential candidate in 2020 being one of them.

Since the Democrats are now in charge of congress, and as past Democrat condemnation of Israel has proven, there possibly can be bills against Israel introduced. Thankfully a Republican Senate and President Trump won’t let it go any further. Being a Jew who has lived and worked in Israel, I am happy Trump is our President.

“Of course, you can always respond with more incorrect assertions, ad hominems or red-herrings and it will merely prove you are ignorant.

I know about the Anti-Israel Boycott Act. Both Congress and the Senate have bills for it, with the recent one submitted by Cardin and Portman. The ACLU has asserted that it violates the first amendment for free speech. I agree with that assertion as did the supreme court in decision in 1982 NAACP vs Claiborne Hardware. Here is the ACLU article about the Anti-Israel Boycott Act: https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/rights-protesters/new-israel-anti-boycott-act-still-unconstitutional

Anyway, first off, I am not a liar. I offered my opinion. Hundreds, if not thousands of comments over the years revolving around changing someones comment to something else and saying, “there, fixed it” have been offered, most funny. Mine was no different. So I would say to you, “lighten up.” We are on the same side in this fight.

“and they’re Democrats.”

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Let me say first off - I should not have implied you were a liar or ignorant.

I was out of line and mouthing off across many different streams and arguments some here — most personal and away from here.

I have gotten in the too easy habit of taking out my frustrations on things away from my main worry, which is personal and financial.

I realized this pretty soon after posting but was not able to respond until much later.

As I am the one who over-reacted and I appreciate your measured and thoughtful response which only further spotlighted my tantrum. Thanks for setting me straight and being classy.
