Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

HOWARD DEAN, THE CONSTITUTION AND HATE SPEECH

Howard Dean on the Coulter-Berkeley Controversy: The First Amendment Doesn't Protect 'Hate Speech,' You Know

This man was the governor of a state, a leading presidential candidate, and Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and he evidently (and wrongly) believes that the Constitution doesn't protect "hate speech" -- a term of art that is by its very nature subjective.

In fact, the Constitution protects nearly all speech, with extremely limited exceptions. In response to the disgraceful flare-up over Ann Coulter's scheduled appearance at Berkeley, a New York Times writer dug up and highlighted one of her more inflammatory jokes, the proper response to which is: Okay, so what? I don't find it especially funny at all, and I fully understand why someone at the Times would take offense, but it's quite clearly protected speech. But not according to Angry McDeanScream:

Again, yes it is. And the standard by which we test and uphold the American value of free speech is how we safeguard people's right to engage in unpopular speech. And Dean may want to rethink his position on this issue. As numerous people pointed out on Twitter, in the not too distant past, Dean was suggesting (joking?) that perhaps Donald Trump was a cocaine user.

I'm sure many Trump supporters would argue that this was slanderous and hateful trolling. Under Dean's restrictive view of the First Amendment, is it time to lock him up? No place for H8, etc. In fact, Dean and other pro-censorship puritans scolds are at least bordering on justifying threats of violence and mob rule to shut down speech to which they strongly object.

But again, be careful what you wish for, leftists -- a point made succinctly by David Burge in a delightfully simple formulation that we've showcased before:

Resist and ban hate speech! Interesting. Would you like President Trump and Attorney General Sessions to decide what qualifies? Oh, you would not? Okay, that's sort of the point. After Dean dashed off his Coulter tweet, conservative writer Ben Shapiro blasted the hard Left's selective, ideologically-self-serving hostility to the First Amendment:

Hyperbole? Perhaps. But many Democrats have habitually demonstrated their disdain for religious freedom and speech protections when they conflict with their secular-statist governing project.

Senate Democrats proposed amending the First Amendment to curtail political speech in 2014, and the Obama administration fought Catholic nuns in federal court to try to force them to facilitate the purchase of birth control products that violate the tenets of their faith.

The Constitution acts as an indispensable buffer against the ruling party's excesses, which often proves frustrating to coercive Statists. But on a purely transactional, ends-justify-the-means level, is Shapiro right? Allahpundit reminds us of a 2015 YouGov survey in which members of one political persuasion -- and only one -- strongly supported making "hate speech" a criminal offense:

Democrats were in favor of this form of (easily abused) government censorship by a two-to-one margin, while Republicans and independents broke against the idea.

I wonder how these results might shift if a new survey asked whether the Trump administration should be allowed to criminalize speech deemed to be hateful toward Christians, white people, or heterosexuals.

Democrats may suddenly lose their appetite for federally-enforced gag orders -- and I fear that some Republicans may abruptly experience an unexpected surge in enthusiasm for authoritarian. Partisan tribalism is one hell of a drug.

My comments: Hate speech for Democrats and the like is anything that disagrees with their godless, Socialist, Secular Humanist Religion.
