I command you to call me "Your Lordiness Emperor Pooh-Pah; I shall obeyed"? - Granite Grok

I command you to call me “Your Lordiness Emperor Pooh-Pah; I shall obeyed”?

coerced speechFirst Amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

California Constitution:

SEC. 2.
(a) Every person may freely speak, write and publish his or her sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of this right. A law may not restrain or abridge liberty of speech or press.

Antifa wants to beat on REAL fascists (which, in part, want to control your speech)? Look no further than your Progressive Totalitarian Overlords (otherwise known as Democrats) in the California Senate that just passed legislation to do just that – and the lower House is about to follow suit.

A bill that passed the California state senate and is now moving through the Assembly could threaten jail time for anyone who refuses to use a transgender person’s preferred pronoun. The law is currently limited in its effects to nursing homes and intermediate-care facilities, but if passed, those who “willfully and repeatedly” refuse “to use a transgender resident’s preferred name or pronouns” could be slapped with a $1,000 fine and up to one year in prison, according to the California Heath and Safety code. The state senate passed the bill 26-12 at the end of May. Since then, the Assembly Judiciary committee recommended the bill unanimously and the General Assembly held its first hearing on the legislation Wednesday.

Talk about ignoring the Constitution(s), eh?  Just think about it – people who are elected to Government leadership to carry out Government’s Prime Directive: protect Individual Liberties are now all about taking one of our treasured liberties: the freedom to speech our mind and conscience.  Look, if I want to call someone by what they wish to, I shall.  I don’t need to be coerced into doing so and neither should you.  That’s being polite.

But what is also polite, and what is almost ALWAYS being being dismissed, is that politeness goes both ways.  Political Correctness, of which this demand is primary, does not allow a bi-directional back-and-forth.  It is totalitarian in nature: Thou SHALT speak thusly. But that’s how Progressive Totalitarian Democrats roll – they believe that Government grants rights and you, old white Christian dude, must accede to our diktats so that someone else can feel “free”.

Free from what, I dunno, but hey, keep that special identity group happy and feeling “special” even if you have to grind others down.  What gets me the most is their imperative that I must join in with the delusion that someone is someone they really aren’t.  If they want to believe they are, fine – knock yourself out.  I can be polite, I can be nice…

…but when you demand something of me, at the penalty of losing my property and liberty (see the CA Constitution) with fines and jail time, I DISSENT.  I RESIST (those mean something to Democrats since January 20th, right).  Why can’t I use the same words in the same ways – just for policies I hate like they are doing?

The rest of us laughingly call those in California “nuts and fruits” – this is neither of those.  This is scary and shows, yet again, how far we have fallen from our original principles.  What is scariest is that the majority of Democrats are now in the camp that Free Speech will be sacrificed for the latest “fad”.  They are turning our traditional American values upside down and then rendering them into nothingness.  Simply gone.

A true Hobbesian State that demands all Rights into itself.   Peace is war.  War is peace.  Mandatory Silencing is Freedom of Speech.  Your ration of chocolate has just been increased.

This is all a process of making you believe that which is not true, as the road to Totalitarianism IS the path of making you believe in everything you know to be wrong and false.

Oh, back to the post title; after all, if I can blithely decided that I am a woman, I can certainly decided that I really am an Emperor Pooh-Bah; I shall be obeyed”, right? It is ABSOLUTELY no more ridiculous than anything else that the Social Justice Warriors want us to use, in my humble opinion – and who are they to say that I’m wrong?
