Free Speech? . . . Me Thinks Not!


YouTube has removed President Trump’s CPAC speech from it’s platform. This is the latest infringement on free speech. The Social Media giants, including Facebook,YouTube, and Google had been suppressing free speech  since prior to November 2020 in order to sway the election outcome. Itworked (allegations against Biden’s son seem to have miraculously disappeared!) Now four months after the November presidential election, we have a “President” who won’t (and possibly can’t) speak without a script. The Social Media giants continue to silence conservative free speech on their platforms because of absurd, made up reasons that, me thinks, translates into spite or perhaps fear.

Actually, I did not listen to Trump’s entire CPAC speech when it was “okay” for me to listen, but since it is now verboten, I have found some clips that will provide everyone with the essence of that speech, and I will provide it for free.

From Townhall:

1- What Trumpism Means

“It means low taxes. It means eliminating job-killing regulations. Trumpism means strong borders, but people coming into our country based on a system of merit so they can come in and help us as opposed to coming here and not being good for us, including criminals.”

TRUMP: “Trumpism means strong borders… no riots in the streets. It means law enforcement. It means very strong protection for the Second Amendment… It means support for the forgotten men and women who have been taken advantage of for so many years” 

2- Not Creating a Third Party

Although there has been growing speculation about President Trump breaking off from the Republican Party and creating his own political party, he said that was not the case.

“I am not starting a new party. That was fake news,” he told the crowd. “Wouldn’t that be brilliant, start a new party and let’s divide our vote so that you can never win? No, we’re not interested in that.” 

TRUMP: “I am not starting a new party. That was fake news”

3- Work to Elect Republican Leaders

The former president has vowed to work to elect Republicans up and down the ticket. 

TRUMP: “I will be actively working to elect strong, tough, and smart Republican leaders.”

4- Take Back Congress and the White House

Trump has the ultimate goal of taking back the House of Representatives, the Senate, and ultimately, the White House. He hinted at another run in 2024.

TRUMP: “With your help we will take back the House, we will win the Senate and then a Republican president will make a triumphant return to the White House. And I wonder who that will be. I wonder who that will be. Who, who, who will that be, I wonder?”

5- Election Integrity

According to Trump, Democrats across the nation used the Wuhan coronavirus to transform the vote by mail system, something the former president said is “illegal” because state legislatures failed to approve the changes.

In order to make elections that are “honest, fair, and accurate,” Trump called for “one Election Day,” which would effectively eliminate early voting. 

“We must pass comprehensive election reforms and do it now,” he explained. 

The former president said the election’s outcome would have changed if those laws and reforms were in place.

TRUMP: Democrats used the China virus as an excuse to change all of the election rules without the approval of their state legislatures… It had a massive impact on the election.”

TRUMP: “We need one Election Day, not 45, 30 — One. Like it’s always been.” 

Trump’s CPAC popular video (4 million views) was supposedly removed because the former president brought up the issue of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. (If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you!)

To me, if there was no truth to the issue of fraud in the election, there would be no reason to ban anyone from talking about it.
