NO, no, no ... FREE SPEECH in the Constitution, hear me out [View all]

If these strict constitutionalists want to argue free speech just as they want to argue their second amendment rights, purity, as stated in the Constitution, well then let's have one open discussion on the floor of the House and Senate and finally call then to show their cards and end this stupid argument once and for all. The Constitution is a living document, if it were not than most of our laws would be become moot. This is what repubs want the SC to eventually do to every decision ..... but that is for another discussion.

So we say, get a musket if you want your right to bear arms because that is the only arms/guns the Founding Fathers were referring to. Say what? They say. Logical we say. Brain freeze .... from there I have never heard one good argument ....

When Free Speech is referred to, the Founding Fathers never mentioned social media or TV or anything else radio, electronic or mass media where millions around the world could be reached by a tweet and being held ACCOUNTABLE TO NO ONE !?!? That is too much power in the hands of a few, something our Founders were totally against... they only thought of standing on the soap box or of the Free Press consisting of news papers and pamphlets .... seriously, we must reign in these seditious members of congress ... some of them who will sit as jury over trump and continue to post or allow anti-American stuff on their Facebook pages (I was on cruz page the other day fighting every crazy RW crap and this MF cruz does nothing to stop any of it).

Wake up !!!! The Free Speech parasites are co opting our DEMOCRACY ... just like they always have ... but this time it is deadly serious.

WHEN DID SEDITION, TREASON, CONSPIRACY, HATE SPEECH, INCITEMENT TO RIOT .... become FREE SPEECH?????? JUST BECAUSE IT IS SOCIAL MEDIA ??????????????????????????????????????????????
