When The Framers Of The Constitution Wrote

4

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.

This,

is what they were talking about.

No doubt there are some in the government who would ban or restrict this, but they don’t belong in the government or elective office at any level.

More please.

Oh, and this was in Austin, TX, which is the most liberal part of the state. You’d expect that there would be a good sized crowd supporting much of President Feckless’s agenda, but it seems not.

Congressman Keith Ellison and Turncoat Senator Arlen Spector received similar receptions when they tried to sell the snake oil that is Obamacare.

I'm a retired paramedic who formerly worked in a largish city in the Northeast corner of the U.S. In my post EMS life I provide Quality Improvement instruction and consulting under contract. I haven't really retired, I just don't work nights, holidays, or weekends.  I escaped the Northeast a couple of years ago and now live in Texas.  I'm more than just a little opinionated, but that comes with having been around the block more than once. You can email me at EMSArtifact@gmail.com After living most of my life (so far) in the northeast my lovely wife and I have moved to central Texas because we weren't comfortable in the northeast any longer. Life is full of twists and turns.

  1. When the founders wrote those words, they would have expected anyone acting like our current Congress to get horsewhipped through the streets.

  2. BP,A good horsewhipping is in order now and then. OldNFO, And the politicians are shitting themselves. The left is getting the revolution that they always talk about, however it's not the revolution they were expecting. As BP says, Vote them all out, every one of them.

  3. Dissent is patriotic, as long as we all dissent over the right things. Gag me.I can't see a downside to that rat bastard Specter finally declaring his allegiance to his true party. Wish more of the lukewarm Republicans would jump ship as well. A pox on them, we don't need em', and it's much easier to rebuild without that dead weight around.
