First Amendment?

I just read a great article about the First Amendment's guarantees and how important they are in protecting, in the long run, the ability of individuals to think and feel. (http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59949) The verbiage intrigued me and took me back a few years.

When I separated from my wife and family, my small apartment had little in it, but it did have a mirror covering most of the wall in the tiny dining area. And on that mirror, I wrote with a dry erase marker: "Do not tell me what to say, think, feel or do." This mark of rebellion was my first step in reclaiming myself.

Now I look at the atrocities inflicted on the First Amendment by our PC government, the ACLU, and others, and realize that what the "powers that be" are doing actually constitutes emotional abuse at an individual citizen basis. And the results of abuse include symptoms such as surrender, lack of self worth, feelings of not deserving success, and powerlessness. In other words, the current political processes constitute an abuse on the psyches and spirits of Americans in a manner that results in a beaten down population that doesn't believe it can stand up for itself nor has the right to. The Founding Fathers would be mortified.

Stand tall. Write on your mirror, screen saver, and proclaim through your votes and political activities: "Don't tell me what to say, think, feel or do."
