Well i think your right in a way. We definitely have an amendment battle going on here. Maybe that was the point the whole time?
First amendment vs second amendment, weird political conversation we have going on right now.
Reminding Alex Jones sympathizers about first amendment rights, page 1
Topic started on 13-1-2013 @ 05:24 PM by Southern Guardian
In the aftermath of Alex Jones' disastrous interview with Piers Morgan on CNN, many of his sore sympathizers have made it more so apparent that they
want him deported out of the country. There was a petition made where 100,000 folks signed demanding Piers be departed, 100,000 individuals whom can't
handle an exercise of rights when it doesn't include them only. "He's not a citizen" they shout! "He's anti-american" they shout, as if these reasons
justify silencing him. So what does the first amendment actually say?

In the first amendment regarding freedom of speech, it says nothing about citizens, it mentions people, this extends to American residents and those whom are legally residing in the country.
Even if Piers did not share the same first amendment rights with American citizens, the fact many are crying to have him deported because they disagreed with him shows a complete lack of respect to the rights we are afforded in this country, it also shows a loser mentality. People can't deal with what he says, so they want him taken away, and they want everybody to only listen to what they have to say and what rights they have.
There is a segment of the population in this country that are becoming increasingly tyrannical in their line of thinking, it's becoming evidently clear what kind of American the kind of people who sympathize with Alex Jones envision
When a democratic election does not go your way? Secede from the Union. Take your toys and leave because it didn't go your way.
When somebody says something you don't like on their air? Silence them, deport them, kick them out of the country.
When rulings like Lawrence v Texas, Brown v Board of education and Loving v Virginia reinforce rights afforded to individual Americans, cry foul and an injustice to states rights, completely ignore the rights of the individual.
Maybe it's time people also start looking into the mirror when they talk about tyranny, control, fascism.
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.
www.law.cornell.edu...
The fact that the Framers chose to limit to citizens only the
rights to vote and to run for federal office is one indication that
they did not intend other constitutional rights to be so limited.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court has squarely stated that neither
the First Amendment nor the Fifth Amendment "acknowledges
any distinction between citizens and resident aliens."

Did I ever say that you were that person or was I just making a comment? Oh yea, I was just making a comment, if it was directed at you I would have hit reply to your OP instead of just posting a comment about the humor I find in the situation.

I say leave both amendments alone and lets go have a beer... IMO these things were not meant to be changed and to do so is criminal...

It doesn't matter whether you now claim your comment was not directed at me, no where in the OP was there any mention of the 2nd amendment. You certainly implied that those defending Piers were attacking the 2nd amendment. By all means backtrack on what you meant, I don't expect much of Jones' sympathizers to have an honest debate in this thread.

So now you're assuming I'm a Alex Jones supporter???
You don't have to support Alex Jones to sympathize with his views and those of his supporters.

So if you choose to protect and stand for maintaining the amendments we speak of that makes you a Alex Jones sympathizer?

Depends. Do you define wanting to deport or silence Piers because you disagree with his views "protecting and maintaining the amendments"?
