Did these Democrats ever read the Bill of Rights?

[Crepitus]

Specifically the first amendment to the Constitution that specifies the right of free speech?

Is now any criticism of the government deemed to be against the law?

Isn't this what we see in totalitarian countries?

Spreading disinformation regarding the federal government’s once-a-decade decennial population count could land you in jail or fined thousands of dollars under new legislation introduced in the House and Senate this week.

The Honest Census Communications Act, introduced in the Senate by Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, and in the House by Reps. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Anna Eshoo, D-Calif., outlaws written, digital or telephonic communications about the Census that “has the intent to impede or prevent another person from participating in any census.”



Bill Would Criminalize Census Disinformation

A. Rights can be limited.

B. Speech intended to cause harm is one of the limits on the first amendment.

 

[tahuyaman]

Just because it is a right doesn't mean rules can't be made in respect to that right.
Freedom of Religion doesn't mean you can kill using a human sacrifice for your religious activities.

Are there any more idiotic strawmen yiou want to introduce?

 

[Darkwind]

I see that the usual suspect progressives in this thread are trying to deflect on what limits are placed on speech.


Let Me be perfectly clear about it.

The First Amendment means that GOVERNMENT cannot STOP you from criticizing it.

FULL FUCKING STOP

 

[Crepitus]

Pretty sure no founder would have argued that you cannot be held responsible for what you say. They used to have duels over minor personal slander. Truth was important to them. Trying to say that lies are protected speech and you cannot be punished for the damage they cause is an insult to them.

The entire American right wing is an insult to them.

 

[HenryBHough]

Democrats read?

They cannot read. They can only recite Party diktats.

The entire American right wing is an insult to them.

Proving once more that Democrats are not allowed to read. Only to recite party dogma.

 

[Winco]

Democrats hate the Bill of Rights. They always have, and always will.

Why do you HATE 70% of the Country (USA)?
You RWI, that think you are entitled, and despise anyone that doesn't agree with you.
You 30% are the true POS in this Country.
Fuck djt, and EVERYTHING he stands for.

 

[Flash]

So you're on the side of lies and disinformation? I guess someone has to defend them. You defend slander and libel too.

The filthy ass Democrats will always tell you that anything that is critical of their agenda of destruction is "misinformation" but we Americans know better, don't we?

You mean the minority of Americans that believe conspiracy theories? You think they know 'better'?

Freedom of Religion doesn't mean you can kill using a human sacrifice for your religious activities.

Oops...

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Just because it is a right doesn't mean rules can't be made in respect to that right.
Freedom of Religion doesn't mean you can kill using a human sacrifice for your religious activities.

It also doesn’t mean you can’t have a Christmas tree on the courthouse lawn but leftists insist it does.

I don't waste a good tree on a pagan ritual or holiday.

 

[Moonglow]

Oops...

I just want to do peyote during religious ceremonies but they won't let me.

I hate Marxists and communists. Doesn’t matter if they make 99% of the country.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

A. Rights can be limited.

B. Speech intended to cause harm is one of the limits on the first amendment.

B. Which the leftists have morphed into speech that hurts someone’s feelings.

Did you read the article I referenced Moon Bat?

The bill has the filthy government putting you in jail if you disagree with it. Go read the Constitution. We suppose to have the freedom to criticize the government. That is like the cornerstone of our Liberty. This Democrat bill does away with that Liberty.

You goddamn Libtards hate the concept of Liberty if it will interfere with you making this country a Socialist Shithole, don't you?

There's a big difference between disagreement and bald faced lies. If you can't be a conservative without massive disinformation campaigns you really need to reexamine your value system.

You mean like Biden saying that only unvaccinated people spread covid?

You mean like Trump saying anything he ever said about Covid? Go drink some more bleach you fool.

You didn’t address my post.
And you responded with an MSM lie about trump.

When a government sets out to drastically reduce and control its constituent population the most vital data to that end is an accurate count of all the people. Just as years prior to COVID vaccines anti-vaxxers were relentlessly demonized as cranks, coots and tinfoil hat wearing moon-bats. Everything under the sun happens for a reason.
