Thread Name: The Bill of Rights of the United States
Subject: RE: The Bill of Rights of the United States
Canadians just don't seem to understand the concept of the Bill of Rights.

Amendment I

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.

Congress shall make NO LAW against those things. Pretty straightforward.

I think the problem with the Canadian inability to understand the problem has something to do with their being a Dominion. They never broke free of England. They never fought a war to throw off the lunatic royal family, and as a result they are still (today) the property of Queen Elizabeth. They are a dominion of the "British Empire." They are the slaves of the royal family, and they live at the pleasure of those perverts. Canadians have never had any real rights. What they think of as their rights are really just privileges granted to them by their monarch. What a crappy way to live. At the sufferance of those pervs.

Whereas in America, a war was fought, the Brits and their Hessian hirelings were booted out, and a new constitution was drawn up. But politicians are always tinkering and trying to grab more power, so the founding fathers in America put the most lasting stamp of protection they could on the new constitution. They added a Bill of Rights. It doesn't "grant" rights, it just enumerates them and says government can't violate them. They even added the double-seal of calling them inalienable and God-given. They figured only a lunatic would defy God. And "inalienable" means, well just that.

But now, with the parasitic federal govt owning the television and radio media, left-leaning and right-leaning people are all being bombarded with the same message, that rights are malleable, flexible. They're not. A right is a right. You either have it or you don't. If it is adulterated, it becomes a privilege.

Hate-speech laws are unconstitutional. They may be acceptable in police states like Canada, but they have no place in America.
