More food for thought

If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,

Let me add...some more "Food for thought"...
One more...
`It saves countless congressional tails by establishing a domestic terror narrative that Pelosi can
saddle up and ride all the way to the midterms.
Tragic.
Ashli Babbit got a kill shot to the neck—not to the leg as a warning.
Internal investigation.
Case closed.
Unequal justice!`
What law enforcement is instructed to go for the warning shot in the leg?
Full disclosure: Not law enforcement here.

OK So what you are saying is,
Non-citizens and criminals can be searched and be deprived of property at anytime?
Non-citizens and criminals can be forced into another religion?
Non-citizens and criminals can be put in prison indefinitely without trial, made slaves, or shot on sight without a trial?
Um No.
The Bill of Rights outlined just a few of the rights the founders understood to be HUMAN RIGHTS, that everyone had.
The Constitution outlined the function and form the federal gov't took and the limits on it's powers.
The founders never thought the federal gov't "granted" rights. They started from the basis that HUMAN BEINGS had rights and gov'ts were formed to protect them.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
The outworking has not been perfect, women and minorities weren't considered fully human but the documents seed was correct "ALL Men" ('men' as in Mankind.)
But at this point in time the idea that a Creator endowed us with these rights is not generally believed. So the idea of RIGHTS is floating on NOTHING but an assertion on piece of paper written by guys 200+ years ago. So instead of God given rights, people, like the Meme writer in your post, are thinking that THE GOVERNMENT gives people Rights. Or Citizenship UNDER a gov't grants rights.
And if that's the case then... well.
If Gov't gives people rights the gov't can take them away.... from anyone for any reasons (or no reason). And the only real power is in who runs the gov't.
the loss of a generic culturally faith has huge implications, most people don't like to acknowledge.

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison

There is a problem with the idea that all citizens of other nations can break our laws and enter here illegally and we must then treat them as citizens...
They are criminals and should be treated as criminals-- not coddled and welcomed in like the traitor dems do...
If the first step is correctly taken and they are immediately sent back- the other issues never arise.
The problem is we have one fully treasonous party-the dems begging them to come in-break our laws and then those same traitors have arranged that they are given aid /help that even our citizens do not get.
The whole thing from start to finish begins with this treason- that first criminal act-- by the dem party!!
If you ignore that reality , that sad and tragic truth -that welcomed criminal action- - then you yourself have --no standing in this --as you are arguing after the fact--while ignoring the real problem. imho..--Tyr
18 U.S. Code § 2381-Treason Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
DopeyDon sold his out to the terrorists. The soldiers are dead because of Trump. At least 75% of America believes that.
You guys will never be in charge of America are over, that will never happen again.
Your TDS is making you all delusional.
Treating someone like a criminal and treating them like they have NO RIGHTS are 2 different things.
the punishments for coming into the country illegally are already on the books. and they can be changed.
Every criminal has a right to trial, and many other rights we assume are HUMAN RIGHTS and simply the ethical way we treat criminal "SUSPECTS".
Coming into the U.S. illegally doesn't mean the gov't or other Americans can torture, enslave or kill them on sight and the like.
Suspected illegal aliens are subject to ALL the other laws on the books AND the immigration laws.
And the right of being considered innocent until proven guilty.

The law protects everyone subject to it, which is everyone in the country.
The DC cop had the right and duty to protect the members of Congress behind him.
There are certainly a group of stupid rightwing trolls on this thread.
