We can and do say the pledge of allegiance any time we want to, don't have the desire to post it it here.

For what purpose anyway ?

iT IS SAD WHEN OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS SO COMPROMISED THAT EVEN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE U.S. FLAG IS 'FLAGGED FOR REVIEW.'

Never to be seen again.

Political Correctness was going on when Little George Was president least you forget. It's just not a Obama thing, it's an everybody thing.


One thing we can agree on is the fact that Political Correctness is ruining our country, not just ruining it, it's destroying it's very foundation.

Where has freedom of speech gone. No brainer. We have allowed Insane Hussein and the left wing Communist party to usurp it much like we let the Muslim TRAITOR usurp the White House. Can you say 'Political Correctness'?

Back in the day when I was in school, admittedly that has been a long time ago. At any rate, I had a History Teacher who would stress what Freedom of Speech meant to him. I agree with him now!


Freedom of Speech means Exactly what it says and it's pretty simple to understand. They didn't write in any limitations into the first amendment. At least back then they didn't anyway, nor you didn't have 100 different people telling you what it means. Nor did have a 100 others telling you "oh you can't say that because it's offensive!

It doesn't say you can't say offensive things, what it says is you have a right to Freedom of Speech. No where can I find any limitations. It means exactly what it says FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Freedom of Speech carries a great responsibility any adult should understand that! Back when it was written people were adult enough to understand it. A lot of them didn't have that great of education like today yet they understood Freedom and they understood Freedom Of Speech. People were adult enough to know sooner or later somebody is going to say something they don't like or they might say something someone else doesn't like. They were adult enough to Deal with it when it came up and they handled it. They learned from it!

Some folk are just offended regardless and they sit about to find something they consider offensive. Not to forget that some fok are so immature they look for any chance to say something offensive. Folk like that basically deserve each other

The problem with that is the rest of us are having to put up with it!

Political Correctness is like a cancer it spreads and spreads and one day Freedom of Speech will be totally gone in this country or that's how it seems it's going. The Nazi's used it and look where that got them...You'd think America who gave so much, so much to stop the Nazi's wouldn't use their tools against it's people. Yet here we are...

We know that Hitler was the ultimate right wing extremist , so we merely want to keep reminding those on the right of what they represent.

I feel obligated to remind you, youlie and rosestar, that you went through a phase of posting H I T L E R REFERENCES in dozens of threads, over and over and in every thread, for no apparent reason. I NEVER HAD to block YOU from posting it because of your actions.

Conservatards only want freedom of speech when that speech agrees with their narrow world view.

How come this same standard isn't applied to the 50 thousand H I T L E R posts, that appear every day?

Hmmmmmm

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom to not be offended by someone else's speech. It's a two way street.

You can block more of her posts. We won't complain


I agree. But I do believe it is a conspiracy against empowers and Israel. Here's hoping she unplugs her computer in protest.

Yet, you can post an insulting, juvenile thread about "big'uns" and have it remain on a public message board for weeks.
