Many of us here, both on the left and right have always looked to the extremists of the other side as the likely source of any wrecking of the Bill of Rights.
Yesterday we were both proven wrong.
The Bill of Rights has been crushed by bipartisan majorities of both Houses, by a Conservative President and by a slim majority of a middle-of -the-road court.
Our freedom to address government has been limited because we citizens are too corrupting in our venal speechifying. The leaders we have today are to weak to withstand the terrible onslought of people speaking their minds, so our bipartisan reformers decided to just muzzle us.
While we on the left and the right in the great public square of the internet have been pointing fingers at the rascally republics and dimwit demoncrats, the moderates, the noes who care, the ones who want to 'just clean stuff up' have destroyed what our Revolution was about: Liberty.
In the name of orderly elections the USSC has allowed the legislature to shut people down 60 days out from elections, while leaving loopholes in the law big enough for Geoerge Soros to have already made a mockery of the law.
So now editorial boards of newspapers and TV will be able to decide what issues we discuss, and now have a law that can enforce that agenda on us.
So now politicans will be safe from pesky criticism by mere citizens for the two months leading up to elections......and when 'corruption' still rears its ugly head, that date will have to be moved out to hwat, 90 days? How about 120?
How about we just leave those poor guys alone and let them do the job they were elected to do, dammit?
How dare you criticisize those hardworking congress people/President/Judge/Governor/councilman/dogcatcher?
And those dman editorial boards had best learn how to address the powers taht be, too.
"When they came for the outcast, I said nothing. When they came for my enemy, I said nothing. When they came for my neighbor, I said nothing. When they came for me, no one said nothing...because no one was left."
This must not stand.
