In a move that will eliminate the 1st amendment protections of free speach was just announced.....

America, established by the the Founding Fathers in 1776, has ended.

Geez, pal...where you been when the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Ninth Amendments were annihilated? And you're only upset about the First Amendment?

Yeah, well don't expect me to get too worked up. All these people whining that the First Amendment is dead are still able to say, write and print whatever they want. If their concerns were even remotely real, they wouldn't even be able to voice these concerns.

Meanwhile, those of us who have been voicing similar concerns on the abrogation of the Second Amendment run the VERY REAL risk of prison time if we exercise our Constitutionally-guaranteed Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

I am so sick of all these people who are ONLY NOW discovering that our rights are under attack. Where the hell were you people 40 years ago??

BTW the best way to take away someone's rights, is little by very little, not all at once.

Similar thoughts are passing through my mind.

Personally I was in Kindergarden. There are lots of 20 somethings here too. They have essentially never lived in anything resembling a Constitutional Republic and can't remember times when the 2nd, 4th and 5th meant something.
