Hello fellow bloggers and lurkers!

This is first of eleven installments of:

"How to Be A Real American"

 

That's right, we are discussing Our Bill of Rights (YOUR RIGHTS!).

 

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

 

freedom of speech, freedom to assemble peacefully....

Can you assemble in any public place you want to, whenever you want to?  Can you sit on a street corner all day long if you want to?  Can you walk along any public highway?  Can you walk across a public park anytime, day or night? 

It's not like someone can make you leave right? 

Because that would be a violation of your First Amendment Rights.

 

Can you wear a sign on your shirt that says "BLEEP You?"  Can you say anything you want to?  Can you say BLEEP, bitches and BLEEP's?  Oh my!  Can you stand out on the street with a sign that says "Jesus loves you" or  "Brenda Sue is a crack BLEEP?"   How about "McWendyKing doesn't treat me right and I'm mad about it?"  You can right? 

It's not like anyone is saying you have to have a special permit just to say what's on your mind or to stand around with other people right? 

Because that would be a violation of your First Amendment Rights.

 

Well I guess that's that!  I can't think of any rights in this amendment that have been stolen from us.   Can you?  If so, be a real American and blog them here!

In America you're free to do whatever you want as long as you have a permit to do so. LOL

A permit or a ton of money to back it up.

Money talks in America.

One has to remember that at the time the Bill of Rights was written society on the whole was a more religous and moral lot. America was established primarily by people seeking religous freedom. Not many years earlier people were burned at the stake for possessing a Bible translated into English. Queen Mary ( Bloody Mary ) of England had three hundred people alone burned at the stake solely for having a Bible in English text. Those days are long over and that is well. Unfortunately our fore-fathers didn't envision some of the extremes people in this day and age go to in EXPRESSION. For example : child molesters claim child pornography is protected by this bill and art as well. I beg to disagree with that. The problem is that by allowing these acts to go on without enforcement of other laws ensures that even more laws will be written with further restrictions. The honest, moral, and law abiding seem to be the only ones whose rights are threatened. Now if the before mentioned criminal ( molester )was hung,shot, or even burned at the stake, I believe there would be less need for more law. Those caught expire,some more might have a very graphic reason to modify their behavior to something exceptable by society. I am damn tired of the current state of : SOCIETY IS TO BLAME. The criminal is and he is the one who should pay.

Good post Norty ! I'd like to see you express some more of your personal views on this topic.

I like this one Norty, had to come back and hit it again. On a humorous note : How dare you correct me on spelling,grammer,punctuation, or sentence structure! I have a right to misspell,butcher and bastardise the language, it's a protected right ! LMAOROF !!!!! Seriously though, I still haven't figured out how to use the spell check. I've found that spelling,grammer, and punctuation have little to do with actual content. Content is either : agreeable,disagreeable,correct,incorrect,valid,baseless
,factual,biased,serious or humorous. I try to keep my comments based solely on my take of those qualities,with two exceptions : lawyers and politicians. When speaking of them, I will most likely be : biased,contemptuous,possibly profane, and sometimes humorous. I believe that to be PC ( positively correct) though and PROTECTED SPEECH !

Well, every Tuesday there is a more than a few individuals gathered at the intersection of Dunlawton and US 1.

They all hold up thier "Impeach Bush" signs, and wave to everyone. This has been going on for years. It is promoted in the rag of a paper here.

That is the right of the people to peaceably assemble right?

I always wave back, albeit with just one finger. That is free speech too right?

The only violations of free speech I have seen, is on the blog here at Fox.

The bleeped word list changes weekly. A word is in, a word is out. It changes constantly. This is frustrating. They should take a lesson from thier sister company, myspace. You can say whatever you please there.

Shockingly, that is a children's forum!

This is not. Oh well, deaf ears do not hear.....

I like sharing ideas and ideals in an open forum. I may not like what you have to say but you can still say it here. I try to be fair. I'll often admit that the positions I support have flaws. I detest bloggers who always base their opinions on their political party's rhetoric and never have an original thought. I am neither a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for whoever I think will do the best job of running things. I may be wrong but at least I think with my own brain. I think Rush Limbaugh is the biggest and most dishonest jerk that ever lived. John "New Orleans Deserved It" Hagee is somewhere right alongside him. If you like Limbaugh or Hagee then you're ignorant and you suck. Whatever you think, join the blog! Come and debate! Let the politicians know what the public really thinks on an open forum like mine where free speech cannot be denied!
