The American People must deicide are we going to let bigots, haters

[kentay]

The American People must deicide are we going to let bigots, haters and war mongers within our own country or from other countries, dictate our policy and gets us into wars? I love our freedoms but when we let any hate or bigoted groups of words drive our policy by trying to hide behind religious or political parties in the name of liberty is not liberty in my opinion. We have a beloved Constitution that guides our policy and laws, however we also have tax policy. It is my opinion that we should not allow any political or religious group to speak hate and bigotry that goes around the world in minute on mine or others tax payers monies. I say take away all tax privileges and if they are going to spew this hate and bigotry it should be with their own money so we know who they are and what their politics are, so all American can decide who and what,  they want to follow. I don't like it when some of our allies also try to get us into other wars of choice. We should always be guided by what is best for our country and its people, first and then then world.  kentay

Kentay, we use tax payer dollars to foment hate.  Ever hear of **** Jesus?  It was sponsored in part by the National Endowment of the Arts.


I am also tired of the Blame America First Crowd, particularly when I have yet heard you speak out against beheadings, crucifixions, and deaths attributed to religious groups in the region of the ME.


I also find it odd you can post about the beloved constitution, yet you are suggesting infringing on constitutionally guaranteed rights.  I am not sur you understand the document.

Liberty is not a subjective word that can be used to describe anything that feels good.  Liberty has a precise definition:



It is a digital definition.  You either have liberty or you don't.  It's like a conventional light switch; it's either on or off. There's no in between.

Your idea that people should be allowed to say whatever they want unless it offends a group that you feel kinship with violates the whole idea liberty because it requires somebody to arbitrarily choose which groups are protected from offensive language and which groups are unprotected.  Exactly who gets to choose these winners and losers?  Politicians?  Bureaucrats?  Civil servants?

That's putting a lot of power in the hands of mortal human beings.

Poor kentay does not realize that the radicals he is afraid of offending are the same group who would behead him for being a Christian and not becoming A follower of Islam.  I honestly do not think kentay is a stupid man.  I do think that his political agenda and his drive to see democrats in power lead him to make some of the least thought out comments.

Kentay, since you seem to be a proponent of making it a crime to be offensive, what would the punishment be?  Fines?  Jail time?  How much?  How long?

Awaiting your answer.

Ted, If you would only read the post before you ask a question it might make you look like you have some idea of what's going on. Try reading my first post in this thread, slowly and I bet you will find the answers to your question, good luck.  kentay
