Mama’s boy needs new heroes, lessons about First Amendment

“Again, that’s it,” Fox bro and network baseline for the Idiotmeter Jesse Watters says as he wraps up a misrepresentation of Jason Aldean racist vigilante-glorifying music video, portraying it as an anti-violence patriotic anthem.  “The media told us there’s nothing more paramount than an artist’s creative expression.  We were able to make any movie we wanted, paint any picture we want, write any song we want, wrote any book we want, and that’s what makes America great, right?  Apparently not.  Paramount can produce movies promoting violence but country music stars can’t write songs against it.  The underlying threat here is that this is a small, well-funded mob trying to chip away at your values and your right to self defense.  It’s the same thing they did to Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha, the McCluskys in St. Louis, and the Marine in the subway:  scare you out of defending your land, your family and property, and once you’re scared, you’re easier to control.”

Yes, you can create any piece of art you want, Jesse.  That’s in the First Amendment.  What’s NOT in the First Amendment is a guarantee that you’ll get it broadcast, or exhibited, or displayed.  That’s what you’re assuming in your claim that Aldean’s song is being censored.  It’s not.  This is the free market rejecting the violent message of it.

And by the way, if you want to claim gun rights are for “defending your land, your family and property,” maybe not use as your examples two people who were not defending either their property or their families–Rittenhouse traveled hundreds of miles to patrol streets in a town where he did not live with a gun he illegally bought, and the Marine strangled an unarmed, mentally-ill man on a subway–and a couple of racists who used their guns to threaten protestors marching through their white neighborhood.

“…and once you’re scared, you’re easier to control.”  It’s the motto of the GOP.
