Why should they? Are Wiccans, Satanists or Sun worshippers a majority of the public? Did they found this govt? Was it there religion that provided for our Bill of Rights and constitution? We (America) are under no obligation to subjugate the will of the majority with the concerns of the few. Perhaps she could of done it elsewhere but she didnt - freedom of speech should not be seen as a personal offense if it is not intended as such. Otherwise the slippery slope will take us to banning speeches altogher, or worse. Thanks, that tells me all I need to know. You're the majority and you'll do whatever the hell you want.
This is why the idea of a republican form of gov't protecting the rights of all equally was a novel development in mankind's history. Cause those who understand it are few.

We already discussed your point Dave, and you lost. Do you actually think you can come in here and continue to argue such a point as if no one else saw you do it earlier?
