Cruz: 42 Democrats Have Signed On To Repeal the First Amendment

I am telling you that the only people who claimed that the "hearings" were witch hunts were the people who were in the crosshairs and their multiple communist supporters. Most Americans were in favor of flushing the fucking commies out of our government, you were not?

Use your damned head and think about it. I know thinking for yourself is not particularly a leftist trait, but for G-d's sake try it for a change and learn something...do your own research other than leftist talking points open your eyes and maybe your pea brain will absorb some knowledge in the process...

So I guess this is bullshit too:

from Wiki

"After reviewing evidence from Venona and other sources, historian John Earl Haynes concluded that, of 159 people identified on lists used or referenced by McCarthy, evidence was substantial that nine had aided Soviet espionage efforts... Among those implicated in files later made public from the Venona project and Soviet sources were Cedric Belfrage, Frank Coe, Lauchlin Currie, Harold Glasser, David Karr, Mary Jane Keeney, and Leonard Mins.These viewpoints are considered revisionist by many scholars. Challenging efforts aimed at the "rehabilitation" of McCarthy, Haynes argues that McCarthy's attempts to "make anti-communism a partisan weapon" actually "threatened [the post-War] anti-Communist consensus", thereby ultimately harming anti-Communist efforts more than helping."

So... about 3% of the people whose lives he destroyed were guilty...

Hope you aren't a baseball fan, as Joe was hitting .030

What a hero indeed...

LOL

That's right.

We used to have STATESMEN, now we have politicians.

A Statesman was a farmer/clerk/shop owner who was though of highly enough by his community that he was elected to represent them. He put on his best suit, packed some shit in a wagon and went to DC to represent his district. After a few years he returned home and went back to his farm/shop/job. Fr the first 100 years his average term in congress was 3 years. Only 10% ran for re-election and only 10% of those were re-elected.

The politician is a member of the 1%, the 0.1% or the 0.01% economic class today. They are vipers who often have little connection to their district other than a 3rd or 4th vacation home there. In fact, it's not uncommon for them to shop around for a vacation home in a district they feel they may be able to win an election. In the past 50 years his/her term has exploded to 27 years on average, over 90% run for re-election, and over 90% of those are indeed elected again.

The MAIN concern for the Statesman was the welfare of his constituents.
The ONLY concern for the Politician is the next election.

It will never pass anyway because too much money is involved on both sides of the coin. Pure theater....

They Know Their Time Is Short.

Just ask one.

No.... I do not support witch hunts

I do not support NSA spying either

I do not support accusations without evidence

I do not think someone who believes in Communism is necessarily evil, a spy or committing treason...

So.... let's say I believe in Communism (i do not) but say I do...

Am I a threat to the USA by my belief?

Or do I have the freedom to believe in whatever I choose?

Moreover, as to the spirit of this thread- does a COMMUNiST have the right to free speech?

Please, these answers are key to understanding your paradigm

I will break it down:
If you have a truth to tell, you tell your family and friends, some may agree with you, but unless this truth spreads by word of mouth or gets picked up by the press- it will likely die and the lie will continue.

If you have money, you have power, so you can use the money to start a action committee, launch an add campaign and reach more people. Politicians don't like this, because it exposes backroom deals, corruption, voting record etc.

As much as I hate the endless propaganda from both sides, You have a right to tell your friends whatever you want- why should that right go away the more friends you have. In the long run, where is the cutoff, 500 friends on facebook- perhaps someone someday will think that is too much and limit your speech.

If you limit the first amendment in anyway, the others will be eroded and you won't even hear about it.

That's where you all lose me

I haven't called anyone a "name" who supports McCarthy

But I have been called a "pea brain" in a predictable ad hominem attack

Does that make you feel better?

My kids, in first grade, called people names

Now that they are grown up, in third grade, they do not call those who disagree with the disparaging names...

I presume you are not in 3rd grade...

so you believe in calling people names?

W o W

I am trying to engage in civilized debate- you want to tell me I am stupid for not believing in your view... that, my friend, is SO DANGEROUS as all views should be respected, like all genders, all races, all people... or do you disagree with that?

Let's hear it

Only established news outlets are specifically exempted from the changes.

Under the proposed amendment, Cruz writes, Congress would have the ability to:

Ban the National Rifle Association from distributing voter guides;

Ban the Sierra Club from running political ads;

Prohibit pro-life/pro-choice groups for spending money to advocate their views on abortion;

Ban labor unions from engage in voter outreach;

Make it illegal for bloggers to criticize the president;

Ban book, movies, and other forms of media that could be classified as “political speech.”

Ray Bradbury's best-selling science fiction masterpiece about a future without books takes on a chillingly realistic dimension in this film classic directed by one of the most important screen innovators of all time, the late François Truffaut . Julie Christie stars in the challenging dual role of Oskar Werner's pleasure-seeking conformist wife, Linda, and his rebellious, book-collecting mistress, Clarisse. Montag (Oskar Werner), a regimented fireman in charge of burning the forbidden volumes, meets a revolutionary school teacher who dares to read. Suddenly he finds himself a hunted fugitive, forced to choose not only between two women, but between personal safety and intellectual freedom. Truffaut's first English language production is an eerie fable where mankind becomes the ultimate evil. 1966 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.

Good. Keep track of these domestic enemies of the Constitution.

Ok guy who says "I'll take Koch brothers money any day". You are not listening, this caps everybody's money so there is equal footing among all. And before you start calling people out for being communists, you might want to look into how the Koch family came into their fortune my friend. They are one largest entity's in our country pushing us towards a communist agenda, do you homework dude. They made their money getting into bed with Joseph Stalin, and those ties which go deep are still there.

One shouldn't keep saying ignorant things, it just makes them look like a clown. We are not interested in Russia's way of life here. We don't need our government rigging cameras in hotel bathrooms, a president stealing people's fortunes and being hostile towards people who are unlike them.

We are not like that here, we are better.

Not only that but the vote was to TABLE the motion.

For all you brain dead knee jerk idiots that means to END DISCUSSION

Thus proving the Yiddish own our minds, and when they own your minds they own your every day moments of hope, when it really is just filled with ignorance, subversion, greed, and war.
Serfdom is eVil.

Since April 24, 2014.

Here is the funny thing people, when you actually take the time to look at the law, it doesn't "ban" anything. Go look for yourself. What Cruz is really saying in a very convoluted way, they are not allowed to spend the extra money on all these things I just mentioned because of a finance cap so I will tell you they are "banned". I choose the word "ban" because it is a very emotionally charged word that gets people fired up. Even though any legal analyst in the world will tell you that his statement is entirely false.

That's right folks, keep eating tasty sandwich you are served up. Or wake up and realize on both sides of the fence, their are problems. There is no room in this country for extremist or people who refuse to listen to logic. Those days are over.

This guy doesn't care about you and he is not a true Christian. Try again.

It is easy to blackmail anyone with NSA captured data...

Headline would have been wrth 5 stars, but since reading the article is shows you have lied through your nasty skanky cunt.

It has nothing to do with the 1st Amendment, you hysterical nitwit.

It's an effort to keep the people's government from being BOUGHT.

Yea, that's what I saw. Its about the HIPPA compliant.

As it stands right now the Obamanighmarecare violates the HIPPA law, and thus it is my excuse for not to be a part of it.

so why arenot they in jail?

i thought, in order for anyone to be accepted into our government, in the first place, they must first sign a statement to uphold The Constitution Of The United States Of America.- where did i go wrong?

Post all there names and vote them out in NOvember!

Don't be so sure about that. Trial balloons are always just a start. Now watch as the media portrays a few cases where freedom of speach jeopardized our safety...or better yet... The safety of the children.

Congress is supposed to take charges against treason.

Congress is in dereliction of duty, and needs to have charges brought against them.

Congress should have never given credibility to the Bill in the first place, thus are co-conspirators in the treason, plus in Dereliction of Duty.

Whathas happened to all our laws? Where the fk did they all go?!?!?!?!?!- Talmud, anyone?

All the democraps voted yea, fuckin traitors deserve nothing less than a deserters punishment.

Any unilateral effort to repeal the First Amendment (and the Second Amendment) without measured opposition is an ACT of TREASON.
