“Before it’s too Late”: Democrats Shift From Corporate Censorship to State Censorship
Jonathan Turley's column on how Democrats are trying to censor voices they don't like.
Quote:“A brave new nightmare.” Those words from former Labor Secretary Robert Reich described the threat created by Elon Musk’s bid to restore free speech values by buying Twitter.
Yet, despite warnings that censorship is necessary “for democracy to survive,” neither the Tesla CEO and billionaire nor ordinary citizens appear to be sufficiently terrified of free speech. Twitter confirmed Monday that Musk will acquire the company in a deal worth $44 billion. Once the deal is complete, Twitter will become a privately held company.
Progressives, in the meantime, have adopted a dangerous shift in their strategy of calling for corporations to censor speech.
Quote:For years, the First Amendment distinction has been the focus of liberals who discovered a way to circumvent constitutional bans on censorship by using companies like Twitter and Facebook. Now, that successful strategy could be curtailed as shareholders join figures like Musk in objecting to corporations and media acting like a surrogate state media.
Faced with that prospect, Democrats are falling back to their final line of defense – and finally being honest about their past use of corporate surrogates. They are now calling for outright state censorship. Obama declared: “This is an opportunity, it’s a chance that we should welcome for governments to take on a big important problem and prove that democracy and innovation can coexist.”
He is talking about imposing “standards” on companies to force them to censor “lies” and “disinformation.”

I don’t want people who think men can menstruate and women can have a pecker deciding anything for me.
This x 1 million. The people on the left side of the aisle are all insane. Don’t have any use for them whatsoever

Most of time on this earth, the 2%-3% or less (if it ever was even that high at any time) of those who consider themselves gay lived private lives and just went about their own business. It was no skin off anyone's back so we lived and let live. In recent years, the militant radical fags and .0002% crazy disordered psychologically brain-damaged who invented "trans" have taken over the lefty narrative to send it full-steam bat-s#it crazyville. We, the American Legal Citizenry Wholeheartedly REJECT their Disordered lifestyles and perspectives, and since they can't leave us alone anymore, we will cease to let them slide by without pointing out and vehemently protesting their illogical, irrational, unscientific and disordered propaganda and dogmas that are aimed solely at destroying the normal American Constitutional Legal Citizens' lives and families. No one is born that way, but if they so choose to live, they can unless they start messing with normal Legal Citizen's lives. At that point, they have lost their ability to plead for sympathy or tolerance, since it is their own very intolerance they seek to unjustly and unConstitutionally thrust upon the unwilling. We will NOT stand for the Militant Radical Faggotry BS any more, nor will we shirk from calling it out for what it is: Anti-American, Anti-Constitutional, Anti-Human and Anti-family Disordered psychological damaged behavior and warped ideas that do not work in a stable society. We are not interested in being a MRFag nation, but you CAN live here peacefully if you choose to assimilate instead of spread your diseased egos around in your sad attempt to justify your unnatural adopted lifestyles. Go back to your disordered lives underground if you do not want to get healthy and well, but LEAVE US LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS ALL THE H E L L ALONE! This is NOT the Dem Party of the Kennedy 60's or of Jefferson and Jackson, it is a Communist/Marxist/Fascist/Totalitarian Party of Disorder and it Will Not stand. We can take a dirty joke or off-color remark here and there and laugh along with you as far as that goes, but we are not interested in your Anti-Human nonsense any more.
