what happened to free expression

In what world is the opinions of a few individuals more important than every citizen's rights to express themselves. It's just disgusting.

the same thing that happened to the second and the fourth

Remember all that BS about "tolerance"?

I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding of what the 1st amendment actually says.

they can bite me...

I'm as red-blooded of an American as you can get, and I happen to agree with you.

Can't express your patriotism but have the LGBQT crap crammed in your face everywhere you go every day.

First amendment doesnt apply here. Same thing goes for forums. If Paul doesnt like what you say, 1A doesnt preclude him from taking it down or kicking you off.


These people are never about tolerance. They dont know what the word means. They want you to accept their nonsense and want to make you participate it in. Tolerance when you know something isnt right and dealing with it.

Absolutely

Does the LGBQT think that Hamas, the PLO, or the Muslim Brotherhood would support their cause?

Oh the irony!

Censored by a private organization. No first amendment violation here.

Right it's everywhere.
The problem is the extremist in America have control of the conversation on everything. There are just as many so called patriots jamming the American flag in people's faces today. For some it's no longer a symbol of patriotism as it seems is a battle flag.Used against anyone or thing they see as un American. At least Their version of un American.
There seems to be no one who wants to be seen doing anything in moderation.

Then they want to yell their interpretation of the constitutional amendment to support their position.

As I see it in this case the extremist were the so call triggered individuals. Probably would not have even thought about that type shirt on Garth Brooks 20 years ago. Any more than the group called Confederate Railroad.

I personally don't like it when any individual group claims a symbol as theirs alone.
Then stuffs it in your face saying except it the same way I do.

"Never Forget Which Way Is Up!"

True.

Anyone that is "bothered" by the American Flag,,maybe shouldn't live in America.

My understanding is the 1st gives you the right to speech without the government interfering. Does not give the government the power to police privet organizations that limit or control speech.

Amen!

Fer sure!

Right!

I grew up in the 60-70s when it was (America)"Love it or leave it" was a common line to hear. Lots of people POed about hippies or college kids making shirt or pants from flags. Oh my God how unpatriotic..

In this day and age when everyone wants to say everything is being weaponized. There are individuals out there doing just that with the American flag. Stuffing it in people face. Look at me I'm a real American. Then when some other individuals says their triggered by a flag in a simple setting. Those same people say the old "Love it or leave it" Mission accomplished..

It is tiring to watch.
So I should keep my mouth shut because I would like to take a ball bat up side both groups heads.
This is why I lurk so much here on Tman when my father pops out in me..
Now I'm the triggered one lmao ..
Thank you very much.
