You'll be glad we have a 1st Amendment ...

Post by Nightshade »

...enshrined in our constitution after you see this:



You have the freedom to call Trump a nazi...a green alien lizard...or whatever you want and rest easy knowing the police aren't going to break down your door in the middle of the night and drag you out of your home.

This isn't the case in the United Kingdom.

So, how long will our First Amendment last?

Trump says all kinds of stupid crap that would not stand if he tried to implement it.

However, leftists are destroying free speech IN FACT with violence any by any means necessary:

He brought an American flag to protest fascism in Portland. Then antifa attacked him

"I had felt like showing that a liberal, free Portland — or any major city, really — is much more American and much more numerous and strong than any of these interloping groups," he said.

A "slightly progressive leftist" by his telling, Welch is a registered Democrat in Oregon, voting records show. He cast his ballot for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential primary and Hillary Clinton in the general election, he said.

The 38-year-old line cook is also no stranger to street protests in Portland. He said he attended the Women's March held during the weekend of Donald Trump's inauguration.

This summer, Welch, who works six days a week at a catering company, stopped by the Occupy ICE encampment on his days off to bring protesters water, toilet paper and sunblock, he said.

Yeah, like a nutty minority ultra leftist anarchist group is going to take away our long standing First Amendment rights. :roll: They aren't in a position of power. Trump currently holds the top position of power in the U.S., along with all the current GOP Congressmen who are also drunk on that same power and who keep kissing Trump's orange ass just to please their master. They've been kneeling so long, they've lost whatever backbone and integrity they used to have. These people are all running things right now, not Antifa, so beware.

TC...you know VERY WELL that the Republicans aren't going to take away the 1st Amendment. The democrats on the other hand...they have actually ATTACKED the 1st and 2nd Amendments in force. It's just sheer luck they haven't gotten the power yet to take them away.

Hi. Here is a helpful reminder that if you claim to have no political affiliation you get one by default if you continually deride one and defend another. It's literally the definition of "actions speak louder than words."

If you believe antifa are anti-fascist, then you also believe that the DPRK ("Democratic People's Republic of Korea"), North Korea in other words is a "democratic republic."

lol... Actually, "Antifa" resemble the nazi brownshirts- except they're more cowardly and cover their faces when attacking, injuring people and destroying property.

And neither are the Democrats. They're practically married to the press, so the 1st Amendment is safe. As for guns, if they even tried to outright ban guns, there would be a huge revolution they'd have to contend with and they know it. Your fears are just that, irrational fears. Remember, this country is not all one party either. :wink:

Antifa hurts people (that's kind of why they're considered domestic terrorists by the FBI) but right wing nationalists kill people.

the smart money is on not being associated with either.
