HR1955 a thought crime bill

[galtgulch]

As if we didn't have enough to worry about now comes HR1955 which uses the words "force or violence" and does not define what is meant by force. The dictionary offers that force of logical argument would qualify.

Might be wise if you value your freedom to keep your thoughts to yourself and neither to verbalize them nor to print them.

Especially if you quote from the Declaration of Independence where it mentions that if a government has become a tyranny and has not responded to petitions for redress of grievances (see www.GiveMeLiberty.org) that it is justified to use violence to overthrow that government.

Come and get me!

HR 1955 has been exaggerated. The bill just wants to study domestic terrorism. Sure, it has some menacing overtones and it may lead to something later on, but for now I would put it very low on the list of hazards.

I like your posts though, fwiw, and think you should keep it up.
