United Against Hate…Moscow’s Dark Underbelly

Under US Attorney General Merrick Garland’s leadership, communities across the fruited plain are hosting “community forums” in the name of love and in the run up to the November 5th Presidential election. Apparently, Kamala’s base and the war on our freedoms need some “Rah! Rah!” The DNews first reported the story the day after the event. I attended the panel event on September 16th and bring you the other side of the story.

In response to national efforts reaffirming public policy on certain historically banned acts, Democrats and homosexual activists in the 1990s screamed, “You can’t legislate morality!” A mindless but effective chant, the truth is that someone’s morality is always being implemented with public policy. With this history in mind, I attended the “United Against Hate” panel discussion. Surprise! The panel was all about that morality, and eager to compel (as in forcing everyone with threat of law enforcement) obedience of the non-zealous among us.

What Moscow morality you ask? “Alex, I’ll take ‘What is Love’ for $300 please.” The definition of love sounded like, “You must believe in your heart and speak words in full agreement with whatever choices we make—that’s love.” The group identifying as “we” in that definition is, by observation, generally comprised of those who believe the attributes of the U.S. Constitution are a threat. For example, free speech is a threat to the militant Leftists’ desired goal for unhindered implementation of Marxist policies or to deconstructing historically scientific humanity, e.g. a man is a man, and a woman is a woman—a scientific view that is so…last millennium.

For those of us who object and disagree publicly, Leftists categorize us as certifiable haters, and our public expression of non-compliance should be a crime. To put a cloudless sky point on it, one of the first panelists exclaimed, “When people hate, they should be called to justice!” Certifiably whack nuts.

With a certain je ne sais pas quoi, perhaps a stench like France’s 1793 Committee of Public Safety, much of the panel discussion then revolved around law enforcement if one encounters non-compliant public expressions. Mon Dieu!

Woven into the evening were valuable insights from the CPS enforcers: When you report hate today, the situation is subject to the First Amendment. But in some cases, we may have a way around the First Amendment. There are other types of laws that we may be able to use. Let us figure it out. Report it. This helps us in our investigation of incidents and to build our database of people who are not compliant. If a person expresses opinions that can be tied to a crime committed by another, then we can look into the speaker. – FBI and DOJ Agents

A thread of lamentation evident through the fabric of monologues called out that glistening gold First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—it’s mucking up the “love” revolution! And the freedom-loving people of Moscow should shout, “Amen! And may the First Amendment live forever!”

Now, you could engage in hate speech with a statement like, “Someone needs to paint a target on Trump’s back,” and two assassination attempts thereafter find yourself in the gulag. Unless you’re the sniffer still haphazardly wandering the once hallowed halls of the West Wing—then you’re protected.

Here’s just one example where my own possession of the First Amendment clashes with the militants-toward-the-First Amendment: I am willing to lovingly call you by whatever name you prefer. Samantha, Sausage, Petunia, or Sausalito. Pick a name and I’m lovingly in.

Beyond that, and in the words of Kamala Harris, “Let me be perfectly clear.” I won’t be compelled. Some readers will hatefully call me the hater or shamelessly misuse the word ‘phobic’ merely because I disagree or for my non-zealotry. You don’t get the moral high ground in your response. No legislating your morality. Let me be perfectly clear, get your hands off my lips.

It’s utterly unamerican to seek compulsory belief and speech. Freedom loving Americans don’t care that DEI revolutionaries temporarily have Merrick Garland and Kamala Harris warring against the First Amendment. We can hope they and their ilk will be swept out with the November 2024 trash schedule.

I opt not to hang out with people who are mean spirited, unkind in their human interactions, or routinely rude. There is, however, nothing mean or unkind in disagreement with the lifestyle choices that people make which are also the subject of many a public policy.

The debate will never be over, I don’t have to like your choices, and the First Amendment highlights the God-given right to disagree. DEI on the other hand demands utter silence from us deplorables—diversity of opinion is not permissible.

Now, before the I-don’t-like-what-you’re-saying crowd wields the cudgel of “John is speaking, I don’t feel safe,” the Latah County Prosecutor did offer one based thought. Bill said, “Hate crime law punishes acts, not words or thoughts.” The evening’s only tangible truth. I may have shed a tear at the isolated beauty of the moment.

However, in its phased approach to shoring up this gaping hole in punishment for the non-worshippers of DEI, the city of Moscow rolled out its inaugural hate and bias policy a couple of years ago. The city’s Human Rights Commission unveiled the plan then to revolutionary glee from the Council. Holy smoldering piles of the U.S. Constitution, has Mao Tse Tung been reincarnated?

Are you encountering non-compliant beliefs or public expressions of free speech? Please report the maker of such to the Moscow City Police. During the panel discussion it was noted that more than 20 such reports have been made so far. The police may opt to meet with the non-compliant, or even turn them over to Moscow’s DEI tribunal. There’s nothing loving about it—I won’t comply.

The U.S. Constitution’s highlight of God-given rights is there to protect us from the likes of DEI’s so-called social justice warriors, the Moscow panelists, the Moscow City Council, and haters of the First Amendment. Merrick Garland may not honor or cherish our First Amendment, but many Moscow residents do. And I’ll thank Democrat Leftists among us for keeping their hands off.

Finally, I recognized many faces and names in the audience. These are the same folks whose writings, rantings, and ritual hate screeds smog the air here in Moscow in collusion with the aforementioned smoldering piles. You know who they are—those sappy sweet Leftists devoted to running certain families and businesses out of this town. The irony of that audience clamoring for love.

The Moscow-love revolution wars against both the First Amendment and we the people of these United States of America. Compulsory thought or compelled speech—these are antithetical to the First Amendment and never associated with kind, compassionate, or loving outcomes. No amount of window dressing can put the glam on a gulag which is where they want to put us awful, non-compliant haters.

Join me in loving all our neighbors—exercise the First Amendment and stand up for everyone’s God-given right to think and speak freely. Vote Trump/Vance on November 5th.
