    …Consider also the extraordinary preliminary injunction granted earlier this week by Judge Terry Doughty in the case of Missouri v. Biden, which pertains to what this column has previously referred to as the Biden Regime’s intentional “collapse” of the “‘public’-‘private’ distinction.” In a whirlwind 155-page ruling, Judge Doughty validated the plaintiffs’ complaints that the Biden administration eroded the First Amendment by dictating that social media companies censor specific users, accounts and posts to tamp down on COVID-19 “disinformation” and “misinformation.” In Doughty’s own words, that should terrify anyone even remotely concerned about the actual state of American democracy: “The United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.'” Yikes. (RELATED: SEN. ERIC SCHMITT: Freedom Of Speech Prevails After The Biden Censorship Complex Suffers A Crushing Defeat)

    But the Biden Regime disagrees. Indeed, the administration has already appealed the grant of the preliminary injunction to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. We should not mince words here: The Biden Department of Justice is appealing to the Fifth Circuit for the “right” to jawbone putatively “private” companies into censoring disfavored online speech when it comes to certain sensitive subjects that implicate Regime priorities. That is simply astonishing. So much for “our democracy”; the Left would prefer that the “public” and “private” merge together to squash all who dare to dissent from Regime orthodoxy. In political science 101 class, most freshmen learn that this is a trademark trait not of “democracy,” but of “fascism.”

    In reality, the Left’s crocodile tears about the fate of “our democracy” can be easily explained by the fact that when Democrats and left-wing activists speak of “democracy,” they really mean “progressivism.” It is quite a sleight of hand. The victim of that sleight of hand, unfortunately and ironically, is actual American democracy itself.

    This Creators Syndicate mainstream conservative article carried by the Daily Caller News Foundation among many others is exactly right. It is those who claim to defend “our democracy” who are the greatest threat to real democracy as practiced in a constitutional Republic. They undermine democracy at every instant the practice of it yields a result that they don’t like.

    Democrats mantra is their democracy yet by their secular progressive acts described by what the full article is about and describes, they threaten real democracy when its results are not to their liking. We American conservatives completely endorse all that the op Ed author has written here. Let’s protect our constitution, our Republic, and actual democracy from the progressives and the fascism they label as their “democracy”.

    ... OUR Constitution seems, more and more, to be at the heart of the division between tRaitor tRumps followers, real conservatives and progressives. As usual tRaitor tRump's wing of fascist conservatives are jumping all over this "social media" decision. They have to because they have so little to feel victorious about. The impetus for controlling misinformation-al posts on Twitter and other social media is to "tamp down" conflicting information from what DHH is trying to disseminate. Now, whether that's good or bad is, as we see, up to the courts. BUT! It's not indicative of some spurious challenge to OUR Constitution or freedoms.

    As mandated by OUR Constitution what the Government does or tries to do is supposed to be secular. I'm thankful everyday that, SO FAR, radical right wing evangelicals have been kept from directly putting their hands on the wheel of government and steering us into the ditch of religious persecution for any that don't share their beliefs.

    Our constitution just protected religious liberty in two Supreme Court cases in the recent term.

    So is not being able to kill the kid you made when you fornicated persecution, or is it the defense of your right to life as well as the kid's?

    Because, if the kid ain't viable then maybe you ain't either.

    Is not being able to force a website designer to make it your way persecution on your end or on the end of the website designer?

    Becuase if your use of force is right, next time the website designer can force you against your will. But it ain't right.

    Tell me, what is the secular reason that murder is wrong?

    The answers to that last question always make me laugh. :)

    We’re you replying to my post?

    It appears you’ve used it as excuse for a disjointed diatribe that makes no sense.

    Religious freedom IS protected. Religious coercion isn’t. Which, reading your posts, is a damn good thing.

    do you know what religion has killed the most people around the globe and is the most dangerous to the USA? collectivist authoritarianism and the worship of the state and big government. Generally, the only people who constantly whine about evangelicals tend to be those who want unlimited abortion or those who push lifestyles that cause the bible thumpers to call them "Sinners". But to most of us-bible thumpers have no impact on our lives. Big government authoritarians do

    Which, to me, is every reason to be against another tRaitor tRump pissantcy. Last time was a warm up. Given another chance he will mount a full court press at dictatorship.

    I have noted, on this board for 7 years-that those who hate trump have a really evasive habit of not specifying objective reasons why they hate trump. We hear lots about 1-6 but it all comes from those who were caterwauling about his election months or years before that.

    Most of us on the right have specific arguments why we despise Democrat candidates. Tax hikes, institutionalized racial discrimination, the constant attempts to ban legal gun ownership are all things that we note. So why don't you tell me how big bad Trump actually harmed your interests

    TRaitor tRump’s whole pissantcy beginning with his campaign up until he refused to attend the inauguration of his successor (as is Americas tradition) and slithered down to Mara Lardass was an unending attack on the government of These United States, an attack that he is continuing with no intention to stop today, tomorrow and the foreseeable future until he is our dictator or dies.

    see that is precisely the evasive bullshit I am talking about. not a single thing that actually objectively impacts you. Do you really expect us to believe you were fine with Trump until after the 2020 election. We don't know because you-at least with your current handle-weren't on this board until after the election

    Trump signed off on adding $6 trillion to the National Debt after PROMISING to lower it (and $3 trillion of that was BEFORE Covid).

    Trump PROMISED he had a better health care plan than Obamacare - then weakened Obamacare but had NOTHING to replace it with. My health insurance
    rose 25% while Trump was in office.

    Trump PROMISED he would get Mexico to pay for the wall - then he ended up STEALING money from the welfare of American soldiers to pay for
    what little wall he did build.

    Trump blew with the wind on Covid strategy and made no effort to build a coalition of governors to put together a cohesive plan for
    dealing with Covid. That mishmash of policy lead to supply chain issues. Not claiming it was all his fault, but he was part of the
    problem - not a solution.

    Trump's inconsistent foreign policy led to uncertainty among our allies and comfort to our enemies.
    Trump's killing trade negotiations with Cuba turned Cuba toward China just when we were starting to open Cuba to a positive US influence.
    Trump's China Trade War has actually led to higher trade deficits.
    Trump's animosity with Mexico has opened the door to Mexico for China.

    That's just off the top of my head ...

    see that's a good an honest effort. the health insurance position is one I can believe as a proper motivation to dislike Trump.
