It is despicable to stand in Dearborn, Michigan, while shouting and chanting “Death to America, Death to Israel, they are Nazis, From the River to the Sea, Genocide Joe has got to go” and Free Palestine” during a celebration of the founding of the International Al-Quds Force Day.

The Al-Quds force is a branch of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Force that is close to our Central Intelligence Agency and Special Operations Forces in one. The celebration of a military unit that was behind the recent deaths of three Americans in Syria is sickening. However, our Constitution protects their right to be wrong and their free speech, as it should in a free nation with our Constitution in force.

The” cancel culture” did not condemn the protest as it was politically correct. Ask yourself: if it is not part and parcel of the cancel culture that they ban “hate speech,” we must wonder whether calling you and I Nazis is hate speech?

Is calling for our deaths hate speech, is calling for the deaths of Jews hate speech? Of course it is, but under the First Amendment they have the right to say it. However, a conservative does not have the right under cancel culture rules to say President Trump was not a paid Russian agent or Robert Hunter Biden’s laptop computer was real, without our government telling social media to cancel/censor them. Under cancel culture we could not say the Covid vaccine did not prevent contracting the disease, because it was incorrect speech. Go figure. 

Like the Iranians or not, and I do not, they do follow their Constitution that requires them to support all Islamic revolutions in an effort to see any other religion other than Shia Islam replaced with Shia.

It is difficult to figure out why this administration wants to see them with a nuclear arsenal. Two nuclear weapons on two of their 300,000 ballistic missiles, launched from a ship at sea or from a neutral nation used as a Electromagnetic Pulse weapon, detonated 40 to 100 miles over the United States, would result in the deaths of 90% of our population after one year. This, according to a 2001 congressional study called the “Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack.”

History proves that religious-based nations, those that do not tolerate religions other than their own or ban religion all together, are among the most brutal of all. 

This presidential election will be a test of our constitution. Will social media and traditional media uphold the constitutional right of free speech, or will they cancel/ban/censor free speech again, requested to do so by our government, all in the name of banning perceived incorrect or hate speech?

Do we have free speech or only politically correct speech? We need to ask, whatever happened to the liberals of old who championed free speech? They have been shouted down and condemned by the progressive movement and politically correct speech gods. My opinion.
