The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition
Here's the thing...speech that is all sweetness and light and unicorns and the marvelous smell of babies and the taste of fresh coffee on a beautiful crisp morning and approving platitudes and perfect agreement...isn't the speech that the founders meant. It is EXACTLY the kind of speech that the neo-Nazis are now defining as "hate speech" that must be protected.
Do I enjoy hearing Leftists chant anti-Semitic tropes and agitate for the destruction of Israel and the Jews? No, I do not. But as a smart guy once said, "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants."
But this new electronic fascism is insidious, because not only do the Left's thugs get to decide what is acceptable speech, they get paid for it. The SPLC is simply a conduit for eager and willing rich fools to funnel money to their Brown Shirts, after the healthy cut that Morris Dees takes. He is quite wealthy...I wonder how?

Schulman stated that the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017 was a "defining moment" for the decision. That moment caused them to expand their brand-reputation group to serve as a monitor of their customers in an effort to silence hate speech.
"Because the line between free speech and hate, nobody teaches it to you in college. Nobody's defined it in the law," stated Schulman. "The reason we had to expand the group is because websites may say something, but the links they have can link to hateful material and videos. You can't look at a headline and make a determination. You have to spend time to really think about it."
Actually, you fascist ass, impermissible speech is clearly defined, you just don't have any idea what it is. Conflating what you don't like and what is illegal is a dangerous and steep and slippery slope. Besides, what college did you attend that didn't teach the United States Constitution and the philosophical underpinnings of our republic?
Oh...none of them teach it any more, which may explain the problem we have here.

Exciting Times For The Democratic Party! By Jeremy Corbyn
I just wanted to take a moment from my day to reflect on some simply amazing developments across the Atlantic. For too long, the Democratic Party pushed all of the same sad old Center-Left/Clinton-Blair themes. But today there are some exciting new faces shaking things up! It is in this vein that I have looked on with much fondness and anticipation at the exciting young voices in the Party, especially Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. Now Ms. Tlaib has created a very robust coalition, consisting of the Many not The Jew Few, and her friends have some very innovative solutions to the crisis in Palestine. Indeed, some of their Solutions seem rather Final. If this was not exciting enough for one day, finding out that Ms. Tlaib used to write for Louis Farrakhan’s newspaper was quite simply delicious. Minister Farrakhan and I share so much, particularly in our views concerning “The People of the Book”.

If we don't get a foothold in Venezuela, Uruguay and Paraguay will move in and the whole area will go guay.
