Capitalist Preservation: Dems Move to "Repeal the First Amendment"

By Elizabeth Nelson

Lemmings and passive Conservatives, you were warned, that not only is Obama a cunningly dangerous man with an agenda, but that if you didn't find your tongue and find something to stand and fight for, there would come a day that you wouldn't have enough freedoms left to be able to. Guess what, the prophecies are coming to pass, and we who have been screaming our warnings, like Paul Revere, are too hoarse to even say, "I told you so." Now even 41 Democrats are tired of us warning you, because they are going to be voting on (S.J. Res. 19), this year, to repeal our First Amendment right to Free Speech. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) wrote it, and here are the co-sponsors:

Speaking at a Family Research Council event last Thursday, Senator Ted Cruz informed the attendees that extreme leftist Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), 39 other Democrats and one socialist-leaning Independent in the Democrat-controlled legislative body are engaging in a foolhardy attempt to “repeal the First Amendment.” Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) is the original sponsor of Senate Joint Resolution 19, which proposes to suspend key portions of the Bill of Rights.

The liberal wackos apparently have the horrendous hubris to think that they can “improve” on the historic handiwork of “James Madison,” as the Wall Street Journal noted.

The Journal reported:

The Supreme Court is trying to take this country back to the days of the robber barons, allowing dark money to flood our elections,’ Mr. Schumer said. The Senate will vote this year on the amendment to ‘once and for all allow Congress to make laws to regulate our system, without the risk of them being eviscerated by a conservative Supreme Court.’Read more Barbwire

Cruz continued his explanation of the anti-free speech measure:

“I’m not making this up ,” (S.J. Res 19) Cruz told the shocked gathering. “Senator Chuck Schumer has announced the Senate Democrats are scheduling a vote on a constitutional amendment to give Congress the plenary power, the unlimited authority, to regulate political speech.”

"Because elected officials have decided they don’t like it when the citizenry has the temerity to criticize what they’ve done. They don’t like it when pastors in their community stand up and speak the truth. And it makes their lives inconvenient when they’re not standing for principle and actually that’s pointed out back home."

And the Wall Street Journal confirms this alarming development:

Mr. Schumer is conjuring the age of robber barons, but there were no general limits on what an individual could donate to a federal candidate in this country until as recently as 1974. Contrary to the outrage that greeted the Supreme Court's recent decision ending aggregate limits to candidates and political party committees in McCutcheon v. FEC, at the time that ruling was issued 32 states already had no aggregate or similar limits on contributions to candidates. That fact was so uncontroversial that Mr. Udall may not even know that New Mexico was among the 32.

Mr. Udall's amendment is careful to specify that nothing "should be construed to grant Congress the power to abridge the freedom of the press." In case you don't follow campaign finance, that is supposed to protect newspapers and TV networks, most of which embrace Democratic causes and candidates. Read more Wall Street Journal

Notice that the Wall Street Journal and Udall were both careful as to not say that this amendment was not going to impede on "Religious Freedom of Speech" or "Political" or "Public Freedom of Speech"

Ask Australia, Canada and Great Britain how they like not having the freedom to speak their mind, do you think it's bad now, to be called a racist, just wait until we no longer have the freedom to protest, argue, or say a cross word and it becomes illegal.
