The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution: "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 first ten Amendments (Bill of Rights) were ratified effective December 15th, 1791 by the U.S. Congress as a whole.
Fast forward to Tuesday, September 15th, 2009, this resolution was passed by a vast majority of Democrats:
Under section 370 of the House Rules and Manual it has been held that a Member could:
• refer to the government as “something hated, something oppressive.”
• refer to the president as “using legislative or judicial pork.”
• refer to a presidential message as a “disgrace to the country.”
• refer to unnamed officials as “our half-baked nitwits handling foreign affairs.”
Likewise, it has been held that a member could not:
• call the president a “liar.”
• call the president a “hypocrite.”
• describe the president’s veto of a bill as “cowardly.”
• charge that the president has been “intellectually dishonest.”
• refer to the president as “giving aid and comfort to the enemy.”
• refer to alleged “sexual misconduct on the president’s part.”
Remember what the Founding Fathers put in the U.S. Constitution: "Congress shall make no law.....abridging the freedom of speech."
Only in dictatorships such as Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Cuba's Castro's, Iran's Ahmadinejad, is the freedom of speech outrightly forbidden. Now, the members of the DNC, members of Congress, (and a few Republicans too) are going directly against our Founding Fathers and against the very document and ideals that they have 'sworn to defend'. The United States is under seige, from within. Freedom does hang in the balance. Thank God I"m not a Democrat.
