Enemies of Caesar Who Write Negative Opinions Will Have To Register With the State of Florida




Am I potentially breaking a proposed new law in Florida?

[The Hill, March 2, 10:04 p.m.] A bill proposed this week by a Republican state senator in Florida would require bloggers who write about Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.), his Cabinet officers and members of the Florida legislature to register with the state.

Yikes. No distinction I see between bloggers in Florida and bloggers in, say, North Carolina. But wait. There's this important provision:

Would apply only to bloggers who receive compensation for a given online post about an elected state officer. 

That lets me out, since I make nothing from shooting off my mouth except a sore throat. 

I realize it was not the would-be dictator of Florida himself who introduced this law, but rather one of his eager minions in the Florida state lege, who evidently wanted to please the bush-league Mussolini. "You-must-register-with-the-state-if-you're-making-money-while-also-making-fun" should become one of those essential landmarks markingv Florida's slippage into the vast dark.

    Don't worry about DeSantis, this is what you should worry about.

    A real vision for a prosperous and free future.

    A nightmare for lefties.

    Ah! The lefty ad hominem attack.

    So much easier than rational criticism.

    Enjoy freezing in the dark while eating bugs or have a prosperous happy life.

    The choice is yours.

    But I think you should eat the bugs.
