Good Morning America: Freedom of speech

Freedom of Speech takes Precedence Over Hurt Religious Feelings

Labels: Freedom of speech, islam, South Park, United States 0 Replies

For my second rant of the year: The television show South Park being threaten by Muslims over a nonsensical caricature.

First, do I have to remind those who are offended by South Park's satire, that this country is The United States of America.

Second, Americans, as a whole, won't tolerate our freedom of speech or expression being attacked or limited by anybody. If there's one way to band Americans together, attack our right to free speech and expression. We may not like what's said, but we'll defend the right to say it.

Third, Islam is precious to Muslims however, it is not precious to the rest of us. As a matter of fact, some of us find Islam offensive to our own sensibilities. Yet, we don't threaten you with violence. We believe you have to right to worship and believe as you wish and expect, no demand the same in kind.

We are NOT some Third World hovel, where the people live in fear and will not express themselves from that fear. We do not fear having our doors knocked down, then being dragged out into the street and tortured for our written, verbal rhetoric or any other kind of expression.

This is a country governed and ruled by ===> The Constitution of the United States and its AMENDMENTS <=== nothing else.

The First Amendment to The Constitution protects the "right" of "free" speech:

Amendment 1 - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified
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. THE CONSTITUTION

Yes, many people say or write things that offend each and everyone of us. The catch is, we and YOU, by right, don't have to listen or read what offends us. Or, you and we, have a right to rhetorically give answer.

However, none of us have a right to threaten violence against anyone or anything. When the threat of violence is made. Those threatening have crossed the civilized line and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law -- American Law.

Though it maybe against Muslim/Islamic law to depict Muhammad in any derogatory light, it's not against any of our laws and it's our laws that count, not Islamic laws, which I personally, thank God for everyday.

South Park is satirical, they have made fun of and have shone Christians, Jews, Buddhists and any other religious and/or political figures in some uncomplimentary way.

So, Revolution Muslim group here in America, suck it up like the rest of us, you're not special. Voice your opinions and your outrage, but do not threaten violence, or threaten America's right to freedom of speech and expression, WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES won't stand for it.

Since When is Freedom of Speech Just for the Gay Right?

Not here it isn't, I'll write and say what I think, if it's offensive -- go . . . click off!

There's a problematic trend growing here in the "land of the free, and home of the brave" The right to freedom of speech is slowly being degraded to "freedom of speech for select segments of American society -- all others must shut up. Soon the Constitution's first line will change from "We the People" to "We, the certain select ".

I don't know about the rest of you "others" but I have a huge problem with this growing trend. Trends tend to grow into raging monsters if you don't stop them when they're a tiny itch in the pants of society.

Upon reading a FoxNews article about the young man allegedly fired because he told a woman that her gay marriage was wrong, bothers me -- tremendously.

From what I read, the woman had mentioned to Peter Vadala, of Brookstone, a Massachusetts retail store, at least four times about her impending marriage to her lesbian lover. Mentioning these nuptials once, maybe twice would have been enough -- I'm sure the young man isn't deaf and speaks English well enough, to get the point.

Vadala believes she was goading him, and I totally agree. This controversy wasn't so much the fact that she and her partner are lesbians, it's about her needling, taunting, harassing -- this is called GOADING :

"I found it offensive that she repeatedly brought it up" Vadala said. "By the fourth time she mentioned it, I felt God wanted me to express how I felt about the matter, so I did. But my tone was downright apologetic. I said, "Regarding your homosexuality, I think that's bad stuff" READ MORE

Common courtesy dictates that if your actions or speech offend someone else, stop! Unless of course the offense is intended -- this woman intended to offend.

The unnamed woman probably knows that Vadala is a Christian. Many people out there just hate the name "Christian" and she's probably one of them.

What she did was taunt, [her claws were out] she taunted this Christian young man until he said something that she could use to go complain about. It doesn't matter whether she's lesbian or not, she's female and we females can be ever so catty.

Reasoning says, that there must be a history between the two, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, some prior conversations with him may have stuck in her craw.

No, I believe, that girlfriend knew what she was doing when she first started the conversation. She, like many gays, know that most Christians find this lifestyle offensive [there are exceptions to the rule, of course] and she found a target on which to vent her bile.

After Vadala voiced his opinion, she then threatened him with "HR, buddy" and the idiots at Brookstone fell for it hook line and sinker! Did he say that they should be burned at the stake, or that they should be stoned to death -- no, he didn't. Did he communicate a terroristic threat -- no, if he had the media would have jumped all over it.

What's bothersome and dangerous, is the fact that Brookstone cow-towed to this one person's gay agenda. In essence Brookstone, like many other corporations,set the dangerous precedence that only certain select segments of American society have the right to free speech while others must sit back and keep their mouths shut.

Vadala is young and inexperienced. He should have sensed what she was up to and walked away. Now, I strongly urge him to move to own Brookstone, and it's children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren etc...

In fact more people need to start standing up for their right to freedom of speech -- we're slowly being handcuffed.

I refuse to shut-up:

Girlfriend you were and probably still are a complete and total bitch.
