Monitoring Hate Speech

To make certain "hate speech" is monitored Democratic Sen. Ed Markey is pushing a bill to have a federal agency monitor anything that it suspects may encourage hate crimes. He would have the internet, tv, cell phones, etc. that is all methods of communications monitored for hate speech and would make such a federal crime.
Un-freaking-believable.
(He doesn't tell us what constitute such, but perhaps if the bill passed it would be revealed as time passes much like Obamacare...)
I have no fear this bit of totalitarian thought crime doesn't stand a chance of passing, but I'm appalled such ghastly bills are even considered.
Markey must absolutely hate being an American.
First Amendment - Patooey!
You - Citizen, your papers!
Now, schweinhund!
Schnell, Schnell!!

It is a modern day inquisition.
"Do you have politically unacceptable thoughts citizen?" "We shall examine you and see!"
Once upon a time I lived in a nation where you could think as you wished and believed what you wished and no one could persecute or prosecute you for your beliefs.

I still find it highly ironic that one of those who warned us most loudly about this kind of thing was George Orwell, a life-long committed socialist. But then again, I guess that's the difference between someone who actually believed that socialism might work, and those who merely use it as a political tool to control others.

I hadn't thought about that aspect. Very interesting observation.

Following in the footsteps of the UK Islamic Republic where they just arrested a man running for political office who quoted Winston Churchill. It's just a matter of time before it starts happening here. So far it's mostly the gay mafia and race hustlers using political power to punish those guilty of thought crimes, but the government will soon be getting in on the game.

Racism, bigotry and bullying are this generation's McCarthyism.

Racism is the smokescreen the progressives will use to persecute those who do not share their values. And in case you have not noticed, only a certain segment of society are racist.

Of course this will be linked to firearms. You think the Federal Government is a group of out of control Jack-Booted Treasonous Pigs? No firearms for you citizen, we read your blog....
