I'll take it one step further: The founding fathers wrote the First Amendment with political speech concerning the English Crown in mind,and therefore any speech that doesn't concern the British Crown isn't protected under the First Amendment.<.i>

That would be in line with how the left views the Second Amendment.

I think you missed my point: If you're going to strictly interpret the Constitution based soley upon what you think the Founding Fathers intended, then you may end up with unintended consequences.
