I have an important ask for you all at the bottom of this post. But to get there from here we need to ask and answer the question, what is a MailChimp and what does it mean for GraniteGrok?

October 5, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Two incidents involving the same individual(s) were recorded as hate crimes. Racial slurs were followed by acts of assault. The problem? The perpetrators in both cases were black, and the different victims were white. According to a student group, that’s not a hate crime.

September 21, 2020 Steve MacDonald

As we move toward November and the opportunity to choose the same or new representatives, there is a simple means by which to determine for whom you should vote. We may not all agree on the government’s role, but all of us should agree it is not to suppress free speech or block open debate.

June 14, 2022July 8, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Nine days ago I told you to get out – of Facebook and Twitter. Well, I actually suggested you diversify to other platforms where you can find the same Grok content. Why? Corporatist pressure was coming to strictly police speech on those platforms. And that day has arrived.

Democrat Speech Cop Resolves To Condemn Certain Words By Order of the US Senate

May 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

We used to sing, “sticks and stones may break my bones, but ‘names’ will never hurt me.” Names, words, we pretended we were immune. We’ve since done a one-eighty. Evolved into snowflakes. Now people throw sticks and stones so folks won’t hear words they say might hurt you.

Nashua Democrats, Free Speech, Proper Attribution, and Tyranny

November 29, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Nashua Democrat Jan Schmidt is the co-sponsor of a proposed bill that would define (presumably) a point where interacting with a public official online becomes cyberstalking or bullying. Jan is no friend of free speech, but she thinks she is and to make the case she borrows someone else’s.

Preaching the Christian Gospel in Public Labeled Hate Speech

November 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The war on Judeo-Christian faith, like the war on families and marriage, is about knocking down barriers to Marxism. I articulated it well enough here, so I won’t repeat those points. But they apply to this topic. A pastor has been charged with hate speech for preaching near homosexuals.

Free Speech Tolerates Hate Speech

October 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It has always been the America position that free speech is an opportunity to enlighten ignorance. Do you think the First Amendment should be rewritten? Do you think it is a good idea to crackdown on free speech, as well as the press?

Has the ACLU Jumped It’s Last “Shark?”

October 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The ACLU used to be good for something. By which I mean it made some small effort to actually defend bits of the constitution. Like, free speech. But has this last vestige of function been excised by the #Wokeasaurus?

October 23, 2019 Steve MacDonald

NYC Bans Words, Landlords Lose More Rights

September 28, 2019September 28, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Another bastion of liberalism leftism has decided to infringe on your first amendment rights and your property rights, shockingly, under the guise of Civil Rights. The new guidance from the Civil Rights Commission in New York City mandates landlords to rent, sell, or lease to illegal aliens. Whoops, can’t say “illegal aliens.” That’s outlawed too.

House Democrats Want to Use The IRS To Silence Political Dissent (again)

September 25, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The Left used the IRS to shut down speech after the 2010 Tea Party election. Lois Lerner became a household name. No one involved suffered for that abuse of power. Is that why House Democrats think they can tweak the tax code to silence speech to which they object?

September 22, 2019

So, Democrats Silenced Josh Moore and his Patriot Initiative Site?

September 11, 2019September 10, 2019 Skip

With regard to GraniteGrok and various Facebook pages, and groups the Democrats have made it clear. Say things we don’t like and we will try to shout or shut you down. And they’d prefer the latter. Speak against their agenda and they will destroy you if they can.

Hate Speech Doesn’t Exist

August 26, 2019 Steve MacDonald

I’ve been saying this for a very long time. There is no such thing as Hate Speech. Just ask a unanimous US Supreme Court. It is a made-up thing designed to intimidate people into silence. And it violates the first amendment.

Facebook-Censored Social media, Shadow-banning

Blogline of the Day: and you think Facebook is neutral in the Culture Wars? Pshaw!

July 29, 2019July 29, 2019 Skip

PJ Media Report on Facebook Ban on “Hate Speech” Is ‘Hate Speech,’ According to Facebook And the mask slips just that much more. So reporting on Facebook censorship is now “hate speech”?
