February, 2020, Part 3, Political Class Insanity: Democrats Attack The First Amendment, Biden Like Illegal Immigrants More Than Americans and More

It is another month which means it is again time to review the latest political class insanity from Washington and around the world. Political class insanity takes many forms including the wasting of taxpayer wealth, criminal fraud within government programs, inane and stupid political quotes and actions, the inability to create and implement effective and efficient government programs, stupid and ill performing economic policies and strategies, and other forms of insanity that continue to evolve and surprise and shock us.

Let’s get started:

1) One thing that American politicians never to seem to understand is that we enjoy having the protection of the First Amendment, the ability to have freedom of speech unencumbered by restrictions that these same politicians want to put upon us. The First Amendment might be the greatest document ever written by humanity when it comes to freedom but that in no way stops politicians from wanting to pen it up, criminalize it, restrict, and eventually do away with it.

The latest example of this restriction of freedom comes from Democratic Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren. Warren wants to “to create civil and criminal penalties for knowingly disseminating false information about when and how to vote in U.S. elections.” She also wants to put a national security expert in charge of sniffing out and punishing those who spread such information.

So many problems with this: 

• What criteria will be used to determine what is “false information” vs. just being misinformed?
• If a politician like Warren disagrees with your opinion, does that make it false and thus subject you to prosecution?
• Will there be degrees of false information dissemination, is one level a misdemeanor and one level a felony and who determines what the right level and punishment is?
• How is the national security expert to be selected and what will be their duties and restrictions vs. the First Amendment rights of every American?

Words like censorship, dictatorship, and George Orwell come to mind, allowing a politician to judge who is honest and who is a political opponent that needs to be shut down? Orwell warned us when he said,”Big Brother is watching.” We ignore his words and trust Warren, a politician who has a long history of lying, at our own risk.

2) But Warren is not the only politician that wants to restrict our freedom. Congressman Adam Schiff was the primary ring leader in the circus that was the impeachment of Trump. Even though Trump has not proven guilty of anything Schiff said in this opening statement to the Senate that the decision to remove Trump cannot be left to the election and voters exercising their First Amendment rights.

In other words, Trump’s political opponents need to take Trump out and cut tens of millions of Trump voters out of the equation and violate their Constitutional rights. Rush Limbaugh summed this idiocy quite nicely: “Meaning we can’t wait for the American people to decide because you people don’t know enough to throw the guy out. The Democrats have to be in charge of this. Your vote doesn’t count anymore.”

The hypocrisy of politicians has no end and no morals. Democrats are scared that they do not have an answer to the Trump Presidency, just looking at their leading candidates to be President can prove this point, and they have no trepidations about squashing our voting rights to get their political objectives satisfied. Pathetic and disgusting attack on freedom.

3) Not only Warren trying to take away our First Amendment rights but residents of the state of Virginia are having their First Amendment rights under attack by state politicians:

• State Democrats in the Virginia legislature have actually put together some potential legislation that would criminalize any criticisms of state politicians and government workers.
• Specifically the legislation states that “If any person, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, or harass any person, shall use a computer or computer network to communicate obscene, vulgar, profane, lewd, lascivious, or indecent language, or make any suggestion or proposal of an obscene nature, or threaten any illegal or immoral act, he is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.”
• The legislation is specific who cannot be criticized and includes the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and just about every other Virginia state official and politician.
• The wife of a Republican Virginia politician sums up this First Amendment attack: “Wow on cue, now they are after the 1A! Dems are trying to set up special rules exclusive to the Elite ruling class, to protect themselves from criticism! What is considered harassment? Is Governor Infanticide/KKK Hood trying to avoid being held accountable? Are we no longer allowed to demand justice for the alleged rape victims of LG Fairfax? This is some straight up communist censorship!”

A few days ago we discussed the incident involving New York Senator Chuck Schumer where he had a problem on a plane when an airline stewardess politely asked him to get off his cell phone so a plane could take off. After objecting to having to obey the rules that regular citizens are bound by, he called the stewardess a “bitch” for treating him like a regular customer. 

This mentality, rules and laws do not apply to politicians, is being reenacted in Virginia: we are above the law and the rules that apply to regular citizens, we need to be treated special. And in the process, they continue to trample the First Amendment.

4) In the latest example of how politicians care more about illegal immigrants than U.S. citizens, consider the criminal justice views of Joe Biden. In a recent interview Biden insisted that he would not deport illegal immigrants who are arrested and found guilty for drunk driving in this country. Yes, in his view it is not only okay for you to be here in this country illegally but if you get behind a wheel of a car while drunk and hurt or kill someone you can still stay in the country.

The reaction to this idiocy was swift including this response from Mothers Against Drunk Driving: “Drunk driving is the #1 killer on America’s roads that should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of the offender’s immigration status. MADD supports the victims of these crashes and their wishes in all drunk driving cases.”

That should do it for today: pompous politicians who do not want to be criticized, the attacks on the First Amendment and Biden continuing to coddle illegal immigrants.
