Well lets break down amendment #1 (
.U.S. only all others need not apply #ionlyknowourbillofrightsfronttoback.) And remember that this was written so the government is aware of what they can and cannot do. This is notice for them, served 200 years ago because the biggest thing the framers were worried about was the CONSOLIDATION OF POWER. AND THE STATE RUNNING PEOPLE'S LIVES WHEN THEY CAME HERE FOR FREEDOM IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Verbatim:
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.
Line one: The state can not come in and say this
IS the new religion we are all doing this...... (Ummm no no we ain't) you can't jail, fine or kill someone for worshiping,praying, or serving God whether it is a different God than others, or a different God then the state believes in. YOU HAVE THIS RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT.
Line two:
THE STATE CAN NOT TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN NOT SAY, under no circumstances.
( So person to person we all respect the fact that we pretty much know we can say what we want with impunity, whether it's bigoted, immoral, rude, hurtful or mean. Regardless of whether the individual is an ******* or not they can still say what they want and there aint **** the state can do about it. This is why I personally believe "hate speech" is UN-CONSTITUTIONAL. BECAUSE UNDER THE ****ING LAW OF THE LAND YOU CAN SAY WHATEVER WHEN EVER TO WHOMEVER and there isn't anything they can do to stop it. AND IF YOU CHARGE SOME WITH 'hate speech" it's a gross miscarriage of justice.)
Line three: THE PRESS CAN REPORT ANYTHING THAT IS NEWS WHEN THEY WANT WHERE THEY WANT HOWEVER THEY WANT. THE FEDS AND COURTS HAVE NO POWER TO STOP THEM, CENSOR THEM, OR DENY THEM.
LINE FOUR: PEOPLE CAN GATHER IN LARGE GROUPS PEACEFULLY, wether it's to express themselves or say to
GOVERNMENT ''hold the **** up man you are over stepping your boundaries here. WE THE PEOPLE don't want this or ask for this. What are you doing?
