So you and g think companies shouldn't have control over their content?


I just said what I think.

That the rule of law should apply one standard to everyone, Democrat or Republican.

Either both should be able to control business according to their beliefs, or both should not be able to discriminate against messages and beliefs they don't agree with. No double standards.

So strip out the protections against religion would be something you would be supportive of?


That's rather ambiguous. And unless you have a specific factual argument, the protections of religion are in our founding documents, and I see no reason for the U.S. to set them aside. They were put in place because we are a republic founded on Biblical principles (primary of which is our U.S. Constitution, a contract between a government and its people, that mirrors the contract between God and Man in the Old and New Testaments).
In addition, the Bible teaches a moral standard that keeps us unified as a people (at least until the point in 1963 where Leftist forces began to increasingly push us away from that standard.)

 Quote:
Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indespensible supports. In vain would man claim the tribue of patriotism who should labor to subvert the great pillars of human happiness... True religion affords to government its surest support.
--George Washington

Our Constitution is made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.
--John Adams

Religion is deemed in other countries as incompatible with good government, and yet proved by our own experience as its best support.
--Thomas Jefferson



Presumably, the protections of the Church and religious freedom were to encourage them, to grow them, to encourage what was/is good for the health of our constitutional republic. And to encourage the community and charity that surround churches.

And:

 Quote:
A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous, they cannot be subdued; but when they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.
--Samuel Adams


That is precisely the Cultural Marxist plan that has been unfolding in the U.S. for over 50 years. And is the stated plan of the Frankfurt School that escaped Germany to the U.S. in the 1930's, their disciples who came of age in the 1960's, and their current progeny among the inner circles of Obama, Hillary, and the Democrat/Left. That is not conspiracy theory, that is precisely the battle plan plainly stated in the writings and public statements of 80 years of Cultural Marxists.
It is their plan to create doubts and splintering divisions in our western culture and topple the pillars of our culture (Christianity, family, and nationalism) so those pillars will no longer exist, and then a demoralized people will passively not resist the new socialist/globalist order.

The opening video to this topic is just one more drop in the ocean of liberal propaganda toward that end.
