Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Yeah it really stinks that someone it stomping all over your faith. People have the right to do that in this country. There is no law against being an obnoxious a$$.

Real conservatives will sometimes have to defend positions that they may personally find abhorrent. Why? Because that's exactly what can happen when you defend our Constitution.

No, real conservatives will not defend someone threatening to desecrate the Eucharist as free speech. Maybe an ACLU member would, but not a conservative. I might disagree with the Baptist faith (for example), but I would never defend someone invading their house of worship and desecrating it, especially as an act of "free speech".
