Two hundred and fifty years ago, American colonists who criticized King George III would find themselves arrested and thrown into prison. Sometimes they lost their businesses, homes and families because of their sedition to the crown. The colonists had no freedom of speech to criticize the king, parliament or even a British citizen.
When James Madison and George Mason penned the Bill of Rights, there was a reason why they made the freedom of speech part of the First Amendment. It was the right to speak freely and openly criticize the government that was a right they fought for. They knew that in order to have a republic, not a democracy, the freedom of speech was a vital importance to its success. (In a democracy, people don’t need the right for free speech as the people elect their own dictators.)
POLL: Does Congress need to revive the House Committee on Un-American activities?
Over recent years, we have seen our freedom of speech being challenged and diminished by the whining’s of a liberal minority. Now, we are on the verge of losing our First Amendment right to freedom of speech.
Massachusetts Senator Edward Markey (D) and New York Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D) have introduced the Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014. The opening of the bill reads:
“To require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to update a report on the role of telecommunications, including the Internet, in the commission of hate crimes.”
“The report required under subsection (a) shall— “
‘‘(1) analyze information on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet, broadcast television and radio, cable television, public access television, commercial mobile services, and other electronic media, to advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate, as de-scribed in the Hate Crime Statistics Act (28 U.S.C. 534 note);”

Mr Markey;
Next time you're in Mass take a drive to NH with a copy of your bill and knock on my front door. I'll build a fire under your ass with it you absolute moron.
let's call it what it is Fascism pure and simple and fascism is a product of a socialist Marxist regime. fascism goes hand in hand with a socialist regime simply for the purposes of stifling the truth or suppressing unwanted information that the state doesn't want you or anyone else to hear this information for accurate and truthful information in a draconian world is the fascists worst enemy!! again it is all about control of everyone and everything!!
well mr democraps this law will take your freedom away as well as mine so go ahead and vote your freedoms away and we will take care of you all when we take this country back I just ordred 1000 rounds of 9 mm howel points so there is how much I worry about and that slut in the whitehouse obummer
They are obviously serious about this...soon we will have to be as well!
Why is telling lies on the Senate floor acceptable? I thought our "leadership" was supposed to be intelligent?
Guess they have never heard Wimpy Reid on the Senate floor spewing some of the worst hate filled lies imaginable . He should be sued for slander. But he is "protected" because he does it on the Senate floor.
Don't vote for Dem of Mass Edw Markey an anti-Christian. Let him die in the next election.
Have no doubt but that the Senate WILL Pass this bill with flying colors - - - -
Another in a long line of 'LAWS' taking away OUR Constitutional RIGHTS
How many (laws) would this idiot infringe on with crap like this, why don't democrat's act like they love our country instead of like they own us and the country. Time for all treasonous politicians to be arrested, stand trial then be shot, the only way to stop this kind of thing happening!
