When liberal speak of their great love of ‘democracy’ I wonder what parts they’re ‘loving’. Cause it sure as hell isn’t freedom of speech.

“Society has the right and civic duty to engage in open, dynamic, rational discourse. These ends are not well served when the government seeks to orchestrate public discussion through content-based mandates.”

....Justice Thomas pointedly added: “The government cannot accomplish through threats of adverse government action what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly.”

In 1783, George Washington warned that if “the Freedom of Speech may be taken away,” then “dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.”

The United States censoring speech by any of its agencies or branches of government or its officials is repugnant to the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, because “the First Amendment means that government has no power to restrict expression because of its message, its ideas, its subject matter, or its content.”

Justice Thomas wrote ..... ‘if the government coerces or induces it to take action’ the government itself would not be permitted to do, such as censor expression of a lawful viewpoint. Justice Thomas pointedly added: ‘The government cannot accomplish through threats of adverse government action what the Constitution prohibits it from doing directly.’ ”

The ACLU considers free speech a legacy from dead white slaveholders....

See my tagline.

The first four paragraphs of this article push me away from it rather than draw me into it.

“1st amendment prohibits ... abridging ...”
“campaign to censor much broader than previously known”
“provides strong evidence of the administration ... coerce”
“80 senior officials have participated”

See. Same blather I hear over and over.

The government tells big tech to violate our rights and gives them an exemption from prosecution for the crime.

The government is doing this by proxy, and is violating our rights and the Constitution.

“Anyone hear anything from the ACLU in the past couple of years?”

Yes, I have. They are suing for abortion “rights”.

Many major dudes, with well more than half a heart, have, in fact, told us.

When the demon is at your door, in the morning he won’t be there, nooooo more!

All those major dudes have told us.
