Intolerance
Why is it that our freedom of speech is being curtailed? We are systematically losing our rights through erosion. Every day political correctness and special interest groups mine our language for any term or word which could be construed as hate speech. As much as I dislike hate speech it is still protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. Just as the pornographers product is protected speech, the individuals right to express him or herself should be protected, as long as the language is not used in a threatening manner. Then it is no longer protected speech, it is a THREAT. Of course, you knew that I was leading to the current trend to muzzle the Bible and the teachings therein. If a Believer of the Bible states that being gay is a sin and a lifestyle choice, they are being accused of hate speech. This is a phenomenon this is escalating in this day and age. Why is it Free Speech for gay rights activists to scream their message in other peoples faces and assault others who do not agree with them? Why can they violate other’s civil liberties and rights and disrupt their church services? The Constitution and the amendments are for ALL Americans.
