By SoundOffSister / November 11, 2010 /

We posted what follows on November 11, 2010.  In light of recent events, perhaps it is time to repeat it.  Guns…Fast and Furious, wealth…the rich aren’t paying their fair share, religion…

Senator Jack Reed on Ground Zero Mosque: For the first amendment before he’s agin’ it.

By Jim Vicevich / August 15, 2010 /

Democrats are having a real tough time finding their bearings on the Ground Zero Mosque and I think it’s because they know how weak their stand for the mosque is. Not weak constitutionally (although in this case the Constitution disappears) … weak morally, and when your world revolves around moral relativism, your argument ends up…

Murphy on First Amendment: Should not apply to corporations (groups of people)

By Steve McGough / June 20, 2013 /

Really, isn’t a company, corporation, church, advocacy group or union just a group of people? Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) don’t think so, and they do not think the ACLU, Sierra Club, NRA or the media – all corporations – deserve First Amendment protection. The senators want to exclude corporations like the…

By Jim Vicevich / October 19, 2010 /

Interestingly enough it’s Coons who could not answer the Constitutional question. But that was put to him by O’Donnell. Still it’s O’Donnell who is being whacked and ridiculed when her challenge to Coons is clearly rhetorical. Audio below. You decide for yourself.

The food police are at it again

Child obesity is on the rise, as is adulthood obesity, but I’ll leave the latter topic for another day.  With an administration that firmly believes, “we’re the government and we’re here to help”, a task force was formed to solve this problem.  So, why are more and more children becoming obese?

Flag burning LSU student: Felony theft, arson protected by First Amendment

By Steve McGough / May 11, 2011 /

I do not condone burning the United States flag. I think it’s best to ignore those who make a spectacle of themselves doing such a thing while basking in their First Amendment glory. That said, LSU graduate student Benjamin Haas is a lunatic. He plans to burn the flag in support of a (most likely)…

Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its opinion in the case of Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v.
