And by barring only speech that endorses any of those ideas, it penalizes certain viewpoints – the greatest First Amendment sin.”

      That’s not true at all. Sometimes they mean “gay,” “empowering women,” or “left of Joe Manchin.” Give credit where is due, these people suck way more than you make it sound.
