Who watches the watchers? Who allowed the watchers to change definitions so that we can't watch them, and we have to live in fear over what we say, or think? Who will speak out against the watchers?
The liberal left has gone beyond attempting to regulate our speech through political correctness, and social engineering. The progressive policy of fomenting division along gender lines, sexuality lines, cultural lines, economic lines and racial lines has worked beyond their expectations. The anger, and the suspicion, between the groups that have been set against each other has given way to the sensationalism of the Trayvon Martin case, a less than eloquent response by a Nevada rancher regarding race relations in America, and the private conversation of an NBA owner that was less than acceptable to the watchers, and their angry allies.
A U.S. Senator has proclaimed that free speech is a privilege for the elite, and an escaped NSA contractor proclaims they are doing more than paying attention to who you call on the phone. Dissent is becoming criminal, and opposition to cultural trends as dictated by the watchers can ruin a person's life, and lead organizations to stripping them of their ownership of a business, or for the force of law to fine them for daring to adhere to their beliefs, or religion, because the watchers have deemed such "thoughts" to be dangerous, and unacceptable.
They call it a number of things, but "hate speech" is among the latest buzz words. Disagreement is others is fine, as long as you agree with the watchers. Tolerance is based on the definitions provided by the watchers. And now, if you even dare speak your mind on the internet, the watchers are watching you there, too.
Democrat Congressional members Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. are working to enable Barack Obama’s Justice Department to submit reports for action against any Internet sites, broadcast, cable television or radio shows determined to be advocating or encouraging “violent acts.” The definition of what is considered "advocating or encouraging violent acts," of course, is in their realm of opinion.
The bill is called The Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014, and it is designed to go after anyone who dares to verbalize, and ultimately think, anything that the powers of Washington consider to be "hate." Of course, that would mean that any speech by anyone that offends just one person because it addressed gender, race (other than white), religion (other than Christianity), ethnicity (other than white European), or sexual orientation (other than traditional heterosexual) could then create recommendations for the federal government "to address such crimes.”
The law would require the Justice Department and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to “analyze information on the use of telecommunications, including the Internet, broadcast television and radio, cable television, public access television, commercial mobile services, and other electronic media, to advocate and encourage violent acts and the commission of crimes of hate.”
The bill does not define which actions by broadcasters would be considered to have encouraged violence, seemingly leaving that open to interpretation to the powers that be, and whoever the person in charge of all this says it is. Watch for the appointment to be a hard left minority that rejects traditional moral standards.
Once the report is compiled, the bill calls for “any recommendations” for action “consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States” that is determined to be an “appropriate and necessary” way to address the purported encouragement of violent acts.
In other words, be careful what you say, or else the watchers will come and get you, with fines, jail, loss of property or business. . . you know, everything you can think of that directly violates what the founders of this nation originally intended.
The thought police, according to the Boston Herald, is seeking to “empower an obscure federal agency to begin scouring the Internet, TV and radio for speech it finds threatening.”
“Perhaps he could crack a briefing book on the crisis in Ukraine rather than looking for his own extra-constitutional methods of punishing speech he finds unacceptable,” added the Herald editorial.
Be prepared to hide your Bibles in a safe, and be careful what you say around your neighbors, co-workers, and your children who will surely be trained by the leftist education system to turn their parents in if they dare say anything that could be considered hateful, or unacceptable to the liberal left establishment.

The liberal left is criminalizing dissent against their policies, moral opinions, and are pushing for a collective society that obeys, turns in dissenters, and wears their nationalist armbands with pride (and fear).
Pastors, beware, preaching that any sin is wrong will be next.
