I thought only the left was selective, bias, and hypocritical about the Constitutional first amendment. Looks like I was wrong. It is on private property, their Constitutional right, and we better be careful of our bias scrutiny or our crosses are next. Even on private church property as this is.

I never implied that the Hindus in Texas had no First Amendment right to erect their pagan statues. Of course they do.The purpose of the original post was to highlight the fact that America has so fallen away from its original founding principles that were based on Christianity, that 90ft tall idols to foreign gods are now being raised.

In this country Hindus are free to put up their statues. That same First Amendment also lets me publicly comment and criticize those statues and call them pagan idols of foreign gods.

There were no Muslims on the Mayflower.

There were no Hindus on the Mayflower.

There were no Jews on the Mayflower.

There were no Buddhists on the Mayflower.

The fact that they are all here now in America and are all protected by our Constitution's 1st Amendment, doesn't mean we can't comment on their activities.

You can’t force people to shut-up, don’t try to stop them from exercising free speech.

These are the people that the left tried to co-opt with the Parents Music Resource Center and the fake preachers. These are also the assholes on this forum that threaten random hippies for burning flags. These are the same ones, even on this forum, that only allow bad things to be said and inferred against some people but insist that saying similar things about another should be restricted and punished.

For some people there are endless “good” reasons to diminish the right of someone else because it most certainly couldnt ever be used to diminish theirs.

You better not read Federalist #2 then.

John Jay wasn’t remotely politically correct, and I fear that you would be greatly offended at his failure to embrace the whole world.

“I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people—a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence.”
