There was a time, and it wasn’t too
long ago when we could say whatever we wanted to and say it freely,
without fears. We could speak our ideas freely. We feared no one. We
stood for the idea of American with Liberty and Justice for all. But
unfortunately it doesn't work that way anymore. Our own president
betrayed us. . The so called “American Free” press has betrayed us .
We all know what happened in Germany in the 1930's and 40's, and we
American people thought that it could never happen here! Well take a
good look, it is happening. But will it continue to happen? Will we
soon become the Socialist State that Omama is pushing us to? Who know?
Fortunately Obama will soon be just a remembrance of bad history that
tried but failed because we made a big mistake when we elected him. . He
tried to eliminate the freedoms of our country, and lets hope that he
fails at that as well. But standing in the wings is Hillary Clinton,
someone who isn’t much better at that game.
Is freedom of speech already a thing of the past in America? Is Freedom of speech in America already DEAD?
Think about it!
Think about Paula Deen, where was her Freedom of Speech?
Where
was Donald Sterling's Freedom of Speech? Where was his First Amendment
freedom of expression? OK, what he said was ugly, and racist, but he
said to in his own home on his one telephone! Who the hell are we to
take that right away from him? Like what he said or not, that is NOT
the question, didn’t he have the right to be a Bigot? Don’t you have
every right in America to Hate, and say that you hate? I always thought
you did. I always thought they here in America you have the right to
be a racist if you wanted to. He didn’t fire anyone because of their
race or color! So how can the fine him and take away his team? His
business? That reminds me of Germany! Why can’t a man that owns a
Chicken Joint donate his own money to whoever he pleases?
The
Donald Sterling incident was yet another example of what is happening to
our First Amendment's protection of speech. If the First Amendment
guarantee the of freedom to speak one's mind without government
restriction or penalty, then how can the impose a penalty as they did? I
guess Donald Sterling is not allowed to use his First Amendment rights
if it is a negative remark about Blacks.
OK, I do understand the
difference between a private business, and the Government. And that a
private business is owned and operated by the business owner, not the
government, and therefor all bets are off. But is that the American
way?
