Re: Obama Calls for Amendment Limiting Free-Speech Rights

We have seen how free speech in the world has been whittled away, bit
by bit, going from prohibiting harm to punishing mere intent - and
intent regarding only certain people. We see the next iteration in
America being hate speech bans, the touchstone for which is the effect
one's speech has on another's feelings.

It wasn't muzzies who sued to remove "under God" from the Pledge of
Allegiance, to remove the Ten Commandments from that Alabama
courthouse, to remove nativity scenes from public venues, to remove
group prayer from public schools, to say grace over their school
lunches, to prohibit christian songs or to remove decorative lights
from schools at Christmas.
