The First Amendment in trouble… again!

by Rocket Kirchner

The Fairness doctrine, hate speech laws coming before Congress, radio talk shows being bullied by boycotts. Well, here we go again. The fact of the matter is that we never got it right the first time around. President Adams threatened to jail protesters for speaking out on American-French relations, until Jefferson told Adams, “Not only do they have the right, they have the obligation”.

Then along came our first dictator old honest Abe, who arrested and jailed northern writers for speaking out against theCivil War. And Lincoln’s hagiography goes unchallenged in public class rooms until this very day. Next came Oliver Wendall Holmes passing a law in the supreme court that one could not yell fire in a crowded theater, as a reaction to the Trotskyites protesting WWI. Then McCarthyism, then Bush 2 and the Dems Patriot Act that shredded the 4th and 5th Amendments, hence setting the stage for today’s Liberal Fascists to snuff out any dissenting voices against them whether it be from the grassroots left or right.

Lest you think I am just crying wolf, answer me this: is it any coincidence that radio talk show host Micheal Savage was banned from England just after Obama left that country? Well, you might say, “Maybe, maybe not, but England is not America”. True, but the fact that our government has not stood up for one of its own citizens for doing nothing wrong considering Anglo-American relations, and the fact that the hate speech bill bill is coming before Congress up for a vote, I think you catch my drift.

There is a reason why the First Amendment is FIRST. Because if it goes, then the whole Bill of Rights could come crumbling down. Many American citizens don’t take the First so literally. They are fools. These prim and proper Americans don’t think that you can cry fire in a crowded theater. Given the present danger that the First Amendment is in, not only can you… but you have an obligation to.
