Property "Right" (as page type) with input value "Unless you're talking about Global Warming, hate speech, or Christians trying to pray (or not pay for other people's abortions), or a conservative us trying to talk on College campus, or a right wing organization is buying a TV ad during a campaign (Citizens United), or anything else they don't like... and they don't like a lot." contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.
The First Amendment (1A) is really a lot of different things:
- no establishment of a federal religion (they did have state religions)
- or prohibiting the free exercise thereof (including in government meetings)
- freedom of speech (especially hate speech)
- or of the press
- or the right of the people peaceably to assemble
- or to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
I can think of no part of that, that the left hasn't opposed to some degree.
U.S. Examples[edit | edit source]
Now let's list just a few of the examples of how the left (especially progressive left) has virtually always opposed the 1A when it suits them:

- Mother Teresa quote twitter blocked as a hate speech - Mother Teresa, "Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters of its victims are women: half the babies and all the mothers." That was blocked by Twitter as hate speech. Seriously. When asked by Ted Cruz, they refused to admit so, but said the context mattered. How is one saints opinion hate speech? Imagine all the biblical or Koranic quotes that need to be purged!
No 1A[edit | edit source]
Worse than abuses of the 1A in the U.S. (which will often be fought and eventually won), in other countries they don't really have a 1A. They don't have a right to free speech, they sort of have a privilege granted, and that can be selectively taken away. Here's some NOT 1A examples:
