Thread Name: BS: Pre-emptive Strike on 1st Amendment
Subject: RE: BS: Pre-emptive Strike on 1st Amendment
    Just a bit off topic here, but still in my mind relevant. Why is it that each "SIDE" cries foul when they believe that one of their favorite Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America appears to be threatened, and in the next breath condems another Amendment.
    For instance, in this thread it happens to be the First, waiting for some Despot to come in and make themselves Dictator. I'll try not to lump everyone into the same category, but I would be willing a small wager that many of the people voicing their opinion in this thread are willing to sacrifice our Second Amendment rights. Which, gives the people a bit of power should some Despot declare themselves as dictator for life.
    The way that I see it, there is only one of the Original Bill of Rights that is not in danger of being swept aside, and that is subject to change.

    ARTICLE III
    No soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner prescribed by law.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, If you are going to fight for one of them you have to fight for them all. You can't pick and choose, it's all or none. The whole is greater than the sum of the parts...
