Censorship by Democrats?

NY State Senators Say

We’ve Got Too Much

Free Speech; Introduce Bill To Fix That

Ok is this even true?

Because if it is, this is just becom­ing too scary for those of us that val­ue Amer­i­ca as it was and as it should be and as it still exists in our hearts and minds, but appar­ent­ly a group of NY, Sen­a­tors, (Big Sur­prise there) after watch­ing Antho­ny Wieners, antics, and some of the oth­er tru­ly remark­able idiots, they pro­duce, come out from under the rocks they hide under, to engage in this kind of evil you have to won­der if there will be an Amer­i­ca for our chil­dren.

All I can say, about this news sto­ry is that it is an indi­ca­tion that they need to be vot­ed out of office.

from the i‑find-this-offensive dept source,

We’ve been point­ing out a vari­ety of attempts to push back on the First Amend­ment late­ly. One fer­tile ground for such attacks are local politi­cians car­ry­ing the “cyber­bul­ly­ing” ban­ner, in var­i­ous attempts to mag­i­cal­ly out­law being a “jerk” online, usu­al­ly by mak­ing it ille­gal to offend some­one online. Of course, mak­ing some­one’s action ille­gal based on how some­one else feels about it is all kinds of crazy. It also would seem to vio­late the very prin­ci­ples of the First Amend­ment, which bar Con­gress (and local gov­ern­ments) from pass­ing any laws that take away one’s right to free speech.

 

This is incred­i­ble, makes you want to think about “NOT” liv­ing in New York, because some day they may show up at your door with a muz­zle, what a mess, this is, hor­ri­ble when you con­sid­er what they are try­ing to use as a vehi­cle to lim­it free speech, soon they will pass a law say­ing that if you offend some­one you might be jailed for it.

Even more offen­sive is this.

In the past, law­mak­ers push­ing these laws have tend­ed to sim­ply ignore the First Amend­ment issue, and focus on scream­ing “pro­tect the chil­dren!” as loud­ly as pos­si­ble (nev­er mind the fact that kids seem much less con­cerned about “bul­ly­ing” than all these adults seem to think). How­ev­er, it appears that some state Sen­a­tors in NY are try­ing a new line of attack: going direct­ly after the First Amend­ment and sug­gest­ing that cur­rent inter­pre­ta­tions are way too broad, and it’s not real­ly meant to pro­tect any sort of free speech right. In fact, it sounds as though they’re try­ing to rede­fine the right to free speech into a priv­i­lege that can be tak­en away. Seri­ous­ly:
