I'm very Conservative, as seen in my posts here, but I have to say, this Arizona law, goes a little too far on the 1st amendment.


That Progressive cancer, is the element in the Republican party, that makes the two parties we get to choose from, so we can boast we are part of a team in a competitive sport, are the freak'n same team!


Look, the first amendment is not there to talk about the weather. It is there to discuss very controversial subjects, without punishment by the State to silence the people.


Arizona Passes Sweeping Internet Censorship Bill



So long 1st amendment, get in the shredder with the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 10th amendments!!!

Wait a minute, if you read and understand the US Constitution, this power is not given to the States.

Truth. Censorship laws exist to protect people's ideas, I can agree with that. Aside from those that protect ideas such as art (movies, etc.), people should be able to voice thier opinions freely. We do have the internet though... Last I checked it was *slightly* censored for language and such, but it has also bred the tween 'IPWNNUBS" generation. I'm on the fence here.

It's unconstitutional, and will be--or SHOULD be--struck down. I can't believe anyone is actually for this. The "state" has no business telling me what I can or cannot read or post.

I was a Republican for a long time.

But recent attempts at voter suppression and now this are examples of why I no longer am.

Maybe in the last election everyone who was elected in AZ was a secret Chinese plant! They like censoring things :P

Serious Note: Arizona is the new [Insert Most Backward State IYO] now....no wonder some people want to split the state in two.

Lol after reading the comments in the link. All the conservatives are asking if Arizona is run by Democrats. My quick Google says its 70% R, 30% D. Seems even heavy conservatives are dumb founded by this.

You cannot look at the teams. They are both ganging up on the Constitution.
Are they not?

It would seem, it is We the People(The Us Constitution) vs. the Progressive Establishment, who own both political parties.
