The first amendment wasn't written to protect you from being offended. Being offended and surviving it is part of the cost of being free.

The PC crowed would love to regulate your "hate" speech (saying what your doing is a sin for example is hate speech) by force of law. They already control most of higher education and can get you expelled for saying something they don't like. Call someone a "water buffalo" and your out… Of course they can say the vilest things imaginable about Christians or conservatives and that isn't hate speech they say. No one has every gotten expelled for that… The country as a whole doesn't need to follow their example of the tyranny of the majority.

The government needs to stay out of the speech regulation business unless one is being unlawfully slandered or threatened physically by such speech.

When you put what you can say in the hands of others you are taking the first steps at becoming a slave to them.

I am not in the least opposed to free speech. But the courts have whimsically interpreted "speech" and "action" or "expression" to by synonymous. Why is a "Gay Pride" parade with faggots dressed like nuns screwing each other free speech? Why are live sex shows free speech? Why is pornographic movies free speech? Those are not speech, they are not protected under the First Amendment, and were not intended to be by the original authors.
But anyone can and should be able to speak or write their viewpoints about these things.

I am not worried about being offended. I am concerned about the people in general - especially younguns - becoming degraded to the point where they are hardly human. But that's beside the point.

This is the point - try to think about it clearly.

SPEECH and ACTION are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

The First Amendment protects speech. (And not all speech). There is nothing in the First Amendment that protects events like "Gay Pride" parades where faggots dress up like nuns and screw each other, porno movies, so-called theater events where people get naked and masturbate, etc. This is not speech, there is no protection for crap like that under the First Amendment. Only recently has the ACLU (All Criminals Love Us) crowd managed to twist the meaning of the first amendment.
