Editor,
The first amendment to our Constitution reads:
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.
Let these words sink in, and then consider these questions:
Do government entitlements, grants and subsidies stifle freedom of speech because people receiving these funds choose to keep quiet in the face of tyranny rather than speaking out against it?
Does a non-profit designation to churches muffle their message and render them impotent? Have our churches unwittingly allowed their message to be stifled? Has this had any impact at all on such things as our citizens' honesty, integrity and morality?
Does political correctness in our country serve to destroy and marginalize the Christian principles upon which our country was founded, at the same time forcing Americans to be tolerant of other religions that are intolerant of our own?
Is the mainstream media truly impartial? Be honest. Does it serve as a watchdog for freedom to help the American people stay vigilant, or does it advocate for big government and serve to push a progressive agenda on our country’s citizens?
Have the unfounded attacks against the tea party movement with regard to racism and far-right extremism served to strengthen or destroy freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble in our country?
