That's 'hate speech,' you religious creep!

For decades now the left has issued hysterical pronouncements to Americans, warning that conservatives and Christians were out to silence their First Amendment free speech rights.

With talk radio under assault by Congress itself, maybe it's time to examine their claims. After the leftist hysteria is cleared away, what are we really looking at?

Publicly funded chocolate syrup orgies on stage, the figure of Christ or the Virgin Mary immersed in urine, and most recently the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting, "The Last Supper" portrayed as a homosexual orgy. These are all examples of the speech we'd have to do without – if obscenity were not "protected speech."

There's a reason, of course, the left has fought so hard to protect obscenity as "free speech": If it weren't for obscenity, what would the left have to say to America? Their arguments about the real issues are incoherent and infantile. Their "facts" are grounded in lies and based on coerced "research" – all publicly funded, of course – where only the politically correct line of research stands any chance of being funded. In the end, the left's most earnest and emotive appeals might as well be based on the side effects of whatever drug they happen to be abusing today; they make that much sense.

So how does the left deal with real debate? Well, think back in history. How did Stalin, Hitler and Mao deal with debate? They killed it. Problem solved.

That's exactly what the left – using their bought-and-paid for surrogate mouthpieces in the Democratic Party – are doing right now in the United States Congress. "Hate crimes" – ordinary, unpleasant actions that happen to be directed against the left's favored icons instead of the rest of us – have already been expanded to include "hate speech." (Some of the animals on the farm are more equal than others.)

What's hate speech? It's anything the left wants it to be! And at the top of their list is speech that tells the truth about just who and what the left really is.

In other words, because the left cannot counter the reasoned arguments conservatives have mounted in favor of public policies the left finds disagreeable, discussion of these topics is to be labeled "hate speech" and is therefore off limits.

Problem solved.

Think that border-jumping illegals should become citizens the old-fashioned way – by following the immigration laws? "Why, that's hate speech, you filthy, stinking bigot!" Demanding that public officials follow the law or be punished? "You can't say that!"

Do you think God is less than fond of homosexuals preaching in the church pulpit or frolicking around the marriage bed? "Hate speech," you religious creep. Don't you know we can't talk about that?

Yes, whatever the left's pet perversion du jour is, suddenly discussion of that perversion's benefits to our culture will be – you guessed it! Hate speech.

The next step, of course, is quite predictable. The left has been using this tactic for decades. The "dialogue" goes like this: "There doesn't seem to be any opposition; we haven't heard any complaints. ... I guess if no one seems to object ..."

You get the picture. With no possibility of debate, Americans are going to love every bit of the left's filthy, degenerate agenda, wrapped in the "hate speech flag" of whatever Democratic political figurehead bent over the farthest for the left's latest "blessing."

Thus, in the minds of the left, right is wrong, black is white, up is down and two plus two equals whatever you think it should, little Johnny. Self-esteem is all that matters, you know. "As a man thinketh, so he is."

And so it is that in the hands of the left, political speech – which the Constitution went to great lengths to protect (for it is the lifeblood of a free society) – becomes illegal. On the other hand, base, vile and degenerate behavior – both verbal and physical – become protected speech, wrapped in the mantle of the Constitution.
