FREEDOM OF SPEECH BY ONE VOTE!

The “Flag Burning” Constitutional Amendment failed in the Senate by one (1) vote. One of the Michigan Democratic Senators, Debbie Stabenow, actually voted for the Constitutional Amendment because she felt our flag needed protection like that statement makes any sense whatsoever!

I wrote my senator and told her she was a political whore with no principals.

More importantly I told her she cannot be relied on to protect my and my family’s freedoms from jackasses that would take them away from us – and this is where I would like to make my final point since I realize I have been raving about this issue for some time.

Our Founding Fathers, the guys that started this great nation and fashioned our Constitution which has guided us safely for all these years, made sure certain freedoms were guaranteed. One of them is the FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

These guys studied history and knew what to avoid in forming a brand new nation. They were wise and what they formed then is now history. We are the envy of the world. People flock to our shores to taste some of those freedoms they longed for but could never realize in their own countries.

And here comes the flag burning issue that wants to reverse what the Founding Fathers created by doing away with our guaranteed freedoms. Don’t understand? Let me explain.

When the flag burning issue first came up some time ago the Supreme Court said that flag burning (in this country – it cannot pertain anywhere else) is a form of speech / protest. You see the flag is not usually burned as fuel or to keep warm or to cook hot dogs. When it is burned (practically never) it is burned as a protest against this nation or more likely the policies of the nation / administration. The Court saw this as a freedom of speech issue and declared it UNCONSTITUIONAL; against the guarantees afforded by our Constitution.

So the only way these morons could get around it is by including an amendment in the actual Constitution at which time the Supreme Court cannot declare it unconstitutional because it is PART OF THE CONSTITUTION.

In amending our Constitution they are basically telling our Founding Fathers that they were stupid and wrong to insist that Americans need guaranteed freedom of speech. These political twits are willing to compromise our freedoms for political gain. Let me put it this way, they are willing to deny Americans their freedom of speech for a piece of cloth, cloth that is worn by Kid Rock as a poncho at his rock concerts, shapely women wear as short, shorts, fisherman wear as hats, etc……………………………………………………………………………………… give me a bloody break!

THE CONSTITUTION IS OUR SACRED DOCUMENT – DON’T FUCK WITH IT!
