I have no qualms — not a single one — about the First Amendment and the guarantee of free speech it enshrines.<\/p>\n

But, dang! Why don’t the right-wing lunatics out there cease delivering the “fake news” and the “disinformation” about current issues of the day, not to mention about our efforts to end a killer virus that keeps sickening Americans.<\/p>\n

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene — a Georgia Republican QAnon queen — went on a podcast and said the Declaration of Independence instructs us to “overthrow tyrants.” Which she said was the intent of the 1\/6 insurrection.<\/p>\n

She is entitled to spew that trash. I just wish we could police such nonsense and send it immediately to the trash heap, where it belongs.<\/p>\n

I never would consider watering down the First Amendment or any of our Bill of Rights provisions (yes, that includes the Second Amendment, which allows us to “keep and bear arms”).<\/p>\n

I just want society to dismiss the crap that flies out of the mouths of loons such as Rep. Taylor-Greene.<\/p>\n

I am game. Are you?<\/p>\n
