There’s a post by Warner Todd Huston over at The Lid taking note of Bill Maher’s opposition to the Main Stream Social Media’s censorship of Alex Jones.
Like I said, Maher is no righty. He is 100 percent a leftist. And despite that I am a righty, I wouldn’t go near Alex Jone’s material (or Bill Maher’s either). But Bill Maher is exactly right that if the left succeeds in eliminates the free speech of those on the center-right, it will eventually come back to bite them when certain liberals find that the speech of other liberals isn’t liberal enough to pass the new test on who is allowed to have free speech and who isn’t.
Read the whole thing.
And remember that the cost of your free speech is my free speech.
The Bill of Rights does not say anything about a test for participating in the rights enumerated in the first amendment. And our rights come from God, not corporations or the state at any level.
In politics in something which uses a democratic process to select its leadership, no one should try to obtain a power they wouldn’t want to belong to their opponents in 2-6 years.
