Via Eliana Johnson and Michael Totten, the question that Rep. Trent Franks asked Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez in July shouldn’t be very difficult to answer — especially for the man who heads up the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, and who swore to uphold the Constitution when taking that job. Yet Franks has to ask the question four different times, and Perez refuses to provide a direct answer. The question is this: “Will you tell us here today, simply, that this administration’s Department of Justice will never entertain or advance a proposal that criminalizes speech against any religion?”
If you read the First Amendment, the answer is simple. Perez, however, does a two-minute dodge while Franks asks it four times:
Beck did a pretty good riff on free speech yesterday.
Franks boiled it down to a Yes or No question and the idiot still couldn’t avoid equivocation and dodging.
It has begun. Selective and “progressive” restrictions on the Bill of Rights is necessary if Obama is to complete his agenda.
Break out another of those Black Panther “kill Whitey” tapes and they’ll be falling all over themselves to defend that free speech.
That’s why there’s a 2nd Amendment.

We really need to vote obama out or lose our rights!
I guess then the DOJ can start prosecuting a chitload of atheist, eh?
Obama must go, this is a bunch of BS.
