FREEDOM


FREEDOM MEANS the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

First Amendment to the US Constitution passed in 1789

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.

Categories of speech that are given lesser or no protection by the First Amendment (and therefore may be restricted) include obscenity, fraud, child pornography, speech integral to illegal conduct, speech that incites imminent lawless action, speech that violates intellectual property law, true threats, and commercial speech such as advertising.

SO...  we do not really have FREEDOM OF SPEECH...  since that freedom is not ALL INCLUSIVE but includes exceptions.

If we do not have ALL INCLUSIVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, do we not have COMPLETE FREEDOM as well?

If you support President Trump, do you feel the FREEDOM to let everyone know that you feel this way or do you keep it to yourself because you are concern over the potential repercussions?

If you do keep it to yourself, then you do not have COMPLETE FREEDOM...

Is this the kind of country you want to live in?
