That image sums up a lot of what we’re seeing these days.
“Conditions apply.”
On one end, we have Republicans championing for the cause of free speech.
The First Amendment shall not trampled on!
On the other end, we have Democrats scream that “Hate speech isn’t free speech!”
Hate speech? I’m pretty sure that isn’t a real thing.
Doesn’t that just mean speech that liberals hate?
Who do you agree with?
🚨BREAKING: Time to stand up for Free Speech in America.
I’ll be offering an amendment to these appropriations bills that defunds the government’s vast censorship enterprise.

There’s an concerted attack on free speech the world over.
Curious that as soon as Elon takes over Twitter, and has allowed more free speech to flow, that we see at the same time a rise in governments all over attacking it.
It’s almost like they know the beans are about to be spilled and they’re trying to get ahead of it.
It's time to bin the hate speech bill.#BinTheBill pic.twitter.com/JLE0p1zZB4

“It’s hate speech!” they scream.
Someone on X nailed it:
Free speech and hate speech are not just incompatible concepts, but mutually exclusive.
Free speech cannot exist in the presence of hate speech, which is used only to censor and suppress the free exchange of ideas through the potential for violence it implies.

Only one or the other. Which will it be?
And it’s also happening in Canada.

When’s the last time you stopped and thought about New Zealand.
What are they up to over there?
Trying to censor speech. Oh, so they’re just like everywhere else.
Hate speech laws can sound noble at first but they’re subjective and dangerous. Wouldn’t you rather know what ideas exist and choose whether to engage with them or not?
Open dialogue and debate will always be a better option than censorship.https://t.co/ot3ktrfOG3

Let’s get back to whats happening in America, the Land of the Free.
Funny thing about the Republicans and the Democrats polarizing views on the subject, we have 2 Republican governors that are for free speech BUT “conditions apply”.
Their masks slips as we see they’re against free speech.
South Dakota Governor Krisiti Noem (R) just signed into law a censorship bill.
And Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) signed the same censorship law.
Both signed this year.
Both are direct attacks on the First Amendment.
Are they RINOs, blackmailed, or just uneducated pawns?
Also, what lies underneath the surface on these bills, is that it gives the enemy a reason to outlaw preaching Christianity, under the guise of hate speech.
Oh, you want to quote the Bible? Sorry, “conditions apply”.
Quoting that is antisemitism now. And here come the cops to arrest you.
They’ve coded into law the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism.
And the IHRA’s definition pulls directly from the Bible.
Grab a pair of scissors and cut out Matthew 27.
Better cut out the whole book, just to be safe.
“This bill defines antisemitism and makes it easier to prove when discriminatory conduct is motivated by antisemitism.” states the SD gov website.
Just some Republican governors doing their good duty for the day?
Where’s the anti-White bill being signed into law?
This sort of anti-hate speech is seen all over Europe.
Just another way for the one world government to silence the people.
Will it come to the point where just carrying a Bible around causes people to “feel” threatened?
Better lock your Bibles away.
Hmm, that might not be good enough. Maybe you had malicious intent when you bought that Bible.
Maybe you better get locked up too, just in case.
Can’t have anyone getting hurt feelings, can we?
But we can have people bashing Christianity online.
Wouldn’t this be considered ‘hate speech’, according to liberals?
Kicking a cross?
I’m guessing “conditions apply” to this as well.
I’ll just wait for some liberals to come and defend this attack on Christianity.
Don't fear Allah
Allah is fake & imaginaryDon't fear hell
Hell doesn't existDon't care what the Quran says
The Quran is a hate speechAnything religious apologists say is a myth and a big fat lie.@DLgodlessbitch pic.twitter.com/syYMnJpGA4

I may be waiting a while.
I’ll just go make a pot of coffee in the meantime while I grab a pair of scissors and turn my Bible into paper swiss cheese.
