Freedom of Speech

Recently, there has been a phenomena of Tea Party rallies opposed to President Obama’s unprecedented tax increases.  Many local governments are trying to either shut these down or hinder them.  This seems strange to me.  The Freedom of Speech rights that Americans have under the 1st Amendment makes us the envy of the world.

Unfortunately, it appears in our current, society, which is obsessed with political correctness, everyone is free to talk about global warming, homosexuality and the legalization of drugs. But when we talk about our growing and ever oppressive tax burden, we’re shunned and silenced.

Don’t these people study history?  Don’t they understand that its THIS ISSUE that drove the wedge between the colonial states and England?  This country was born out of the need of freedom, primarily TAX FREEDOM.

I would love to try one of these cases where either the government tries to silence someone on this issue or tries to bring criminal charges for it.  Bring it on!
