First Amendment alive and well

28 Oct

Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party have one thing in common – they’re both proof the First Amendment is alive and well – even if one group advocates the overthrow of Wall Street while the latter advocates the overthrow of the freely elected democratic government (by violent means) if necessary.


Now, which do think is the true “domestic” enemy spoken of in the oaths our public officials, and members of the military, swear to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against?

When protestors from the various “Occupy” movements disrupt the flow of traffic, or allegedly throw things at the Oakland Police, that is not becoming a “domestic” enemy; it may be becoming a public nuisance, but it is not a “domestic” enemy.

When you hold up signs claiming the next time you come back you’ll be armed, or if you show up at rallies with weapons, and spout phrases proclaiming the need for “Second Amendment remedies” then you have truly become the “domestic” enemy, as in “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”.

So, go ahead conservatives, bad mouth the Occupy groups and vilify what they’re doing while supporting the Tea Party; but when they try to “take back” the government, and to usurp your constitutional protected liberties, don’t come crying to me when I’m standing in a line between them and you.
