Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
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.However, there is an interesting contradiction that exists within America, and this contradiction exists within the Democrat Party and goes as high as the President. Whenever the American people protested the Iraq War and other policies during the Bush Administration, the Democrats and the media praised the American people for exercising their Constitutional rights to assemble. But, whenever the American people stand up against Democrat policies and a Democrat President, the American people are mobs, ignorant, manufactured, paid for by insurance groups (at within the context of the Obama-Care debate). The media is saying that the people expressing discontent with Obama-Care are 'too well dressed'. So, are we to conclude that in order to be a 'legitimate' individual voicing decent against a policy one must be poorly dressed? Since when does clothing disqualify someone from voicing legitimate decent? This is an absolutely terrible argument; it is an attempt to disenfranchise the American public. The Democrat Party and Obama are holding the American people in contempt on the basis that the American people are against them.
I remember whenever President Bush was advocating immigration reform and the American people outright rejected his plan. Whenever the plan failed to pass, Bush did not blame the American people, he did not blast those who voiced decent; instead, though disheartened, praised the America saying that people voicing decent and Congress hearing that decent is how America was designed to function. Bush praised the American people and the Republican system of government (not talking about the political party but the very structure of our government).
But now if one watches the current Congress and Administration, anyone who voices decent against Obama-Care are ignorant and ridiculed. The American 'community' is organizing against Obama-Care and yet Obama and the Democrats are not praising the 'community', they are defaming it. Interesting because Obama was a community organizer and now he blasts the community for organizing. The key element, however, is that the community is not organizing under his flag, they are organizing against him, and instead of seeing this as a good thing, he views it as a threat and must be quelled. So, the community can organize so long as it is not against what Obama wants to do. This should give us considerable pause. Obama ran on the platform that he was going to unify America, and that the days of division were past us, but he is attacking the American people.
So, again, we see a blatant contradiction within the Democrat Party and the Obama Administration. The community can organize but they cannot organize against Obama, the Community Organizer.
