I recently read of efforts of numerous nations to curtail free speech and what they term "hate speech." This includes making derogatory remarks, but is not limited to that. For instance, in Canada, a bill[1 ] has been introduced in Parliament that would, in effect, bring down the hammer of persecution on Christians for the following: public Bible readings prayers other expressions of Christian teachings Interesting that the examples are pointing toward Christianity. Is it still okay to read from the Qur'an publicly? Can Imams raise their anti-Semitic rhetoric to an alarming level without penalty?
What has always been fascinating to me is the use of the phrase "hate speech." No one has ever given a qualified or accurate definition of that phrase. It's stupid and nonsensical. The First Amendment of the United States' Constitution never qualified any type of language. The amendment guarantees the speaker's ability to say what's on their mind. Over the decades though, laws have been put into place that actually work to oppose what the First Amendment fully guarantees.
For instance, a person can be arrested for yelling "Fire!" in a crowded place where no such fire exists. While that makes sense on one hand, the truth of the matter is that our founding fathers created the First Amendment in such a way that there were actually zero restrictions on speech. That included individuals to journalists, as we've recently seen with The Blaze's Steve Baker ordered to turn himself in for his "crimes" related to his reporting on the January 6th fiasco.[2 ]
Apparently, the FBI wanted him to turn himself into them in shorts and flip-flops because they planned on using leg chains and perp marching him in public. This is an attack on free speech because journalists have always enjoyed the freedom to report things as they saw fit. Of course, in today's politically charged climate, the only thing journalists are allowed to report is the approved narrative. Going off that mark leaves them wide open to tyranny now apparently.
The US federal government may not be too far behind Canada and other countries seeking to outlaw actual freedom of speech. As I stated, laws have been created that work to curtail free speech. That in and of itself is illegal. To counter an actual amendment, another amendment needs to be brought to fruition that actually cancels the previous amendment. This is what occurred with Prohibition where all liquor was outlawed. It took another amendment years later...
