You have been WOEFULLY wronged! Your civil liberties got violated in the most harsh way possible. \nThis is the worst thing to have happened since segregation.\nContact ACLU right away -- they will send out a team of commando-lawyers to handle your case and restore justice.

The US is supposed to be about freedom of religion.  Sure, you may get people yelling in your face, but at least you don't get thrown in jail anymore for being different.

abolition\n\nslavery was abolished in america, formally, in 1863 with lincoln's emancipation proclamation.\n\nslaves were not actually freed, however, until the north beat the south in the civil war.  even after that, texas still had many slaves until june of 1865 - the day they were freed is celebrated as "juneteenth."

The 15th Amendment to the Constitution Ratified February 3, 1870.  However it was not until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that actually made it easy for all races to vote.\n\nIn Liberty,\nEric H. Smith

Washington DC\n\nAt a press conference following Human Kindness Day in Washington, DC on May 10, 1975, police reported that there had been 600 arrests, 150 smashed windows, 42 looted refreshment stands, 17 stonings of uniformed officers, 33 fires, 120 cases of public brawling, and 14 cars demolished in Constitution Avenue.]\n\nhttp://anecdotage.com/index.php?aid=3434

When you begin telling people that certain legal activities cannot take place that is deprivation of personal liberties.  When you decide any religion is offensive, it is a violation of the United States Constitution...When you take away the right to own property through Imminent Domain it is an infringement on personal property rights that are pillars of democracy  that violate the United States Constitution.  You cannot shout Fire in an occupied building and expect for it to be considered Free Speech or insult people different than yourself because of race or gender, there are limits.....Becoming too politically correct, being the thought and food police under the guise of liberty is really a ruse to infringe upon individual liberty one by one until your government has become socialist/communist.  That is never a good thing.

You might do well to remember that the USA was founded on the separation of church and state.\nRemember this famous quote; "Freedom can be measured by the distance between the state and the church."

America was founded on freedom.  Our forefathers didn't want the government imposing anything on its citizens.  In modern times, religious references in a public, governmental setting walks a fine line.

Freedom of Speech is what I believe you are referring to.  Political Correctness was invented by universities that obviously have a lot of time on their hands.  Freedom of Speech is written into the Constitution of the United States and is and should be looked at with more forethought than what a bunch of busy bodies in and around a college campus thought was/is important.

The 21st amendment was ratified in December 1993 and it repealed the 18th amendment.   I am a not aware of it having another name, but it end what is commonly called the Prohibition Era.

Well, if you search for "Bill of Rights", and read through them all, that may give you some ideas. The Founding Fathers not only wanted to eliminate the abuses of King George (housing soldiers without permission of the owners; search and seizure without due process etc), but also, in their wisdom, wanted to protect our rights in the future.\n\nThe Patriot Act, was, of course enacted after the events of 9-11. There are still many unanswered questions about the events of that day; it was an act of terror, that not even Russia could have pulled off -- who then "threw the switch"; who brought down America's security screen? and, for what purpose? Didn't the Nazis do something similar, in the events around the "Reichstag Fire"? Didn't they suspend the German Constitution, in the name of "Protection"? Wasn't it the case, that then elections were suspended, for about 12 years?? Shouldn't we as citizens, be asking some tough questions, about this administration, and the President's "signing statements"? Why didn't the President, follow legal procedure, when ordering wiretaps of American citizens?\n\nIf we accept a suspension of our rights, what then can we expect? Does the Patriot Act, really provide any more protection, than we had before? Is there, perhaps, an "enemy within"??\n\nA few years ago, there was a case of a sniper, in Maryland and in Virginia, who murdered a number of people. One man was quoted on the news, "If we have to have a police state, so that I can mow my lawn in peace, then let's bring on the police state".\n\nIs that any way to live?? If we could put a man on the Moon, don't you think we (and other nations working with us) could root out the source of terrorism, if someone really wanted it to be stopped??\n\nHope that helps, to give you some ideas.
