Naked ? - Already ! ?
Been there - Done That ! Yore pants just don't stay up well without the belt - embarrassing !
Just last Tuesday - In a public place yet !
So what's next? - A complete background check? - before they allow you to board?
Imagine being refused boarding or whatever just because of some nasty little blog you wrote that you thought was political satire - but "they" thought was hate speech. And of course that must be silenced - besides, y' ain't supposed to say that the emperors also have no clothes.
Such intrusive background checking already seriously affects many employment decisions in and out of government, especially media and university jobs, not to mention public education.
So what's next? Public prosecution for the wrong opinion? - Already happening! - As in convene grand jury after grand jury after grand jury until they finally one that will indict - for something you might have said, but no one quite remembers - ALREADY HAPPENS - a lot!
It seems to be the new political reality - Hate Speech = anything "They" disagree with.
Since political advocacy of the wrong party or the wrong initiative already is "Hate Speech" - Indeed, what's next!
So whatever happened to the "Liberalism" of Thomas Jefferson? We obviously are already goose-stepping to some other drummer than him !
