How can there be political discourse when dissenters are imprisoned??

[healthmyths]

A professor with Rochester Institute of Technology has called for the incarceration of any American who actively disagrees that climate change is solely caused by human activity.
Lawrence Torcello, a philosophy professor with a Ph.D. from the University at Buffalo, published the comments as part of an essay submitted to the academic website The Conversation.
Torcello argues that malignant individuals, who he does not identify, are collectively organising a “campaign funding misinformation” about climate change. Torcello goes on to suggest that such activity “ought to be considered criminally negligent.”

There will always be radicals that believe people who disagree with them should be punished. Tyrants imprison anyone who threatens their agenda or questions them in any way.

Right now, there are so many laws on the books that they don't need to make it illegal to disagree with them. They merely target the dissenters and find laws that they are already in violation of. Virtually every American is in violation of some stupid law and it's as easy as selectively choosing to enforce said laws. While some need not fear reprisals, others should fear even the slightest infraction. The corrupt politicians pass impossible laws for a reason. It's merely a trap that is there when they need it.

It's no accident that certain people are targeted by Homeland Security, NSA or the IRS. And that is just the beginning. Once a person or organization is deemed an enemy of the radical agenda, there are countless bullshit laws and regulations to take them down. Even though most are in some violation of the idiotic laws, only those who are outspoken against them will be targeted.

An attempt to silence dissenters is already underway. It will only get worse if people keep ignoring it.

"My argument probably raises an understandable, if misguided, concern regarding free speech. We must make the critical distinction between the protected voicing of one’s unpopular beliefs, and the funding of a strategically organised campaign to undermine the public’s ability to develop and voice informed opinions."

It's not personal, it's just business.

Guys like this one do not want political discourse, or even just regular old discourse on the subject. They want conformity. that's why they think this way. It's the religious style dogma regarding this so called science.

Trial by Jury is the ultimate remedy to this situation, instead of Trial by Government.

That's next on the chopping block, the Trayvon Martin case already laid the propaganda foundation for it, remember when Eric Holder was considering re-trying him in violation of the double jeopardy clause (and the Progressive media cheered the DoJ for the suggestion)?

There can't be, and we don't.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

I'm not surprised. If you knew Progressives, you'd realize that they are histories greatest dictators and mass murderers.

It's a natural consequence of the arrogance of always knowing what's best for everyone

 

[KNB]

Yes, because mass murder is progress, right?

Wow youtotally missedhis point. He was linking people who know it all, to being hitler, caesar, stalin, ect. It comes from arrogance and getting pissedthat people dont do it your way. Kind of like being pissed young people dont get insurance and no matter what you do they wont get it, so they you try and force them to....thats how that shit starts.....force people to do what you want them to do....its called coercian

 

[Bombur]

I don't think we have to worry about politicians passing a law that would make lying illegal.

That's not a government official with authority, it's just one a-hole running off his mouth.

The person was clearly talking about the money the Koch brothers and other energy companies have spent "lying" about climate change.

And almost nobody is taking him the least bit seriously.

Glad we settled that.

If it achieves your agenda....

OK so this means George Soros donations are grounds for imprisonment?

SO again... Soros makes donations' HEADLINES!!!
Soros group triples its lobbying spending
Well, not the billionaire himself, but the Open Society Policy Center, the Washington-based advocacy affiliate of his Open Society Foundations.

Soros and his generous support of liberal causes, through his philanthropy and his personal political spending, have long been the subject of conservative ire. But, until now, he hasn’t done much on the formal lobbying front, and the group’s huge increase in reported spending —
it hit $11 million in 2013, more than triple the $3.25 million it spent the previous year — has drawn remarkably little notice.

The Open Society Foundations reported last summer that it had spent more than $100 million on immigrant rights in the United States since 1997.
But private foundations like Soros’s are prohibited by the tax code from lobbying, and the grants they make generally include similar restrictions. Instead, through its advocacy affiliate — donations to which are not tax deductible — they can lobby and support others.

OH wait his causes are right and just!!
