… the Supreme Court has handed down a decision that’s gonna have some ramifications. They have ruled for, in favor of an Asian-American rock band that calls themselves The Slants. Snerdley, you’re a big music guy. Have you ever heard of The Slants, Asian-American rock band called The Slants? I never have. You have heard of them? You like their music? Ohhh, but you’ve not heard their music, you never heard of ’em ’til the story hit? All right. Well, get this.

In a win for Asian-American rock band The Slants — and this has got possible ramifications, good ones, for the Washington Redskins. The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot refuse to register trademarks that are considered offensive. The government cannot do that.

Now, this is gonna be a mighty blow to people on the left who basically are trying to destroy the First Amendment. And, you know, this is a fascinating topic and something I think we should delve into. It’s out there in front of us, and I think subliminally we’re all aware of it, but much of what the left is trying to accomplish requires the First Amendment’s free speech clause to be obliterated when they engage in violence and bullying tactics and threaten violence, whenever a conservative appears on the college campus, for example. And when there’s no condemnation of that, it’s a direct assault on free speech.

And this is fundamental to the left’s overall quest to transform America. There must not be free speech. Not only that, folks, not only is there an all-out assault on free speech, they want to go after you for what you’re thinking. Now, we’ve long known that within the context of the so-called hate crime, which means if you commit crime, you’ve got a bigoted attitude about the victim before you even commit the crime, then you’ve really been bad, you committed a hate crime. You didn’t just kill somebody, you hated them before you did it, and that’s almost as bad as killing them in the left’s distorted, perverted view of everything. Make no mistake, they’re going after free speech, and they want to be able to criminalize what you are thinking.
