Jonathan Turley: Criminalization of private speech coming to U.S.

[pipedreams]

European-style controls now 'core value in the Democratic Party'

"A prominent liberal lawyer who has been involved in some of America's highest-profile constitutional disputes is warning of an alarming rollback of free speech in Western nations.

The latest is the adoption by Norway of a criminal law that punishes people for "hate speech" toward transgender people in private conversations, noted Jonathan Turley, a professor of law at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.

"Such speech controls in Europe have led to a chilling effect on political and religious speech," Turley wrote. "In their homes, people will often share religious and political views that depart from majoritarian values or beliefs. This law would regulate those conversations and criminalize the expression of prohibited viewpoints.""

The goal of the demonrats is to get rid of the Constitution. They want total power so they can, once and for all, get rid of that nuisance document that prevents them from doing what they want. It is up to We The People to stand firm and prevent that action. You won't just lose freedom of speech, you will lose ALL your rights.

Some people seem to require an affidavit regarding those objectives.

It's just that they have never experienced the joys of living, if only for weeks or months, in (more like under, but still rather comfy beyond expectations) a socialist regime. I say let them reap what they sow and then eat it. But not here.
