Then the government can take action against me for posting on FreeRepublic?

You bet... Try posting something that directly threatens the life of President Bush, and see if you get a call from guys in suits wearing sunglasses and ear-pieces....

No, the first amendment of the Constitution of the US does NOT guarantee your right to post here on Free Republic. JimRob or the mods can ban you, and you aren't protected. You can still post what ever you want, just not here.

But all other types of expression are still protected, especially if it insults or mocks Christianity

There went your credibility!

Really? Try buying advertising on a TV or radio station a few days before an election... McCain/Feingold has effectively roped in political speech in a number of ways. And it's all "perfectly constitutional." Know why? Because 5 people in robes said so... They just decided to ignore a certain pesky sentence in the first amendment to the constitution that begins with the words, "Congress shall make no law..." But while the SCOTUS decided that certain types of political expression are NOT protected under the Constitution, they've also ruled that other types of expression ARE protected under the constitution, like exotic dancing, flag burning, and certain works of art.

We are talking about government, not JimRob or the mods, and yes the 1st amendment does guarantee me the right to post on this website without government reprisal.
