I never thought that the First Amendment would go first at the hands of the dems. We really should be thanking them because we just found out that it never was about guns. It had to do with destroying the Bill of Rights.

We defenders of the Bill of Rights have always warned that attacks on the 2nd amendment would lead to attacks on the 1st amendment. With the recent campaign finance reform bill, a massive attack on the 1st amendment has taken place. It happened a lot faster that I thought it would, and it proves just how corrupt (and treasonous) most of our elected officials are.

The very fact that such an attack on the 1st amendment would be attempted (let alone passed by Congress) speaks volumes about the depth of the quagmire we are in, and the rocky path ahead.

It was never even just about the Bill of Rights. It is about power raw naked power. Henry Kissinger once said "Power is the ultimate aphrodesiac." The First Amendment has been attacked in the past. The alien and sedition acts passed by the Federalists were an assualt on Freedom of speach and the press but they are mild compared to the naked assault on our liberty that is currently happening.

Further the broad based nature of the attack means those who value the Bill of Rights are tuly pressed from all sides.

Stay well - stay saf e- Stay armed - Yorktown
