Sarah Palin speaks on the First Amendment

(updated below - Update II - Update III)

Somehow, in Sarah Palin's brain, it's a threat to the First Amendment when newspapers criticize her negative attacks on Barack Obama.

Remember... a flaw = an imperfection.


Therefore, Obama wasn't wrong.

True, he didn't use the actual word "flawed".

I keep reading some threads and wondering why people even bother to respond to some posters. They don't want to hear the facts, just the propaganda. It can be fun for a bit I guess but it gets old real quick. I've gotten to the point that sometimes I don't even read their posts - just scroll right through.

(((((Does this mean that you AGREE with Palin's assesment of the 1st amendment. )))))


Oh dear. I hope not. I think that more debates should be held with actual questions about the constitution. Palin would have been disqualified right away.

>>> The OT condoned slavery, mostly OT passages were used. Also, the fact that the slaves were "converted" to Christianity was used to call slavery a good thing.

Slavery wasn't "condoned" it was merely accepted as a fact of society. And converting someone to Christianity was not used to call slavery a "good thing" but rather the saving of an immortal soul. How the circumstances that occurred to "save that soul" are viewed is a matter of personal perspective.

>>> In the early founding of our nation, there was much religious persecution. People banished from states for being religiously incorrect, fines and whippings for failing to get their children baptised.

Life is tough. Can you believe that they'll fine you if you don't get your pets and cars registered?

>>> The so called Act of Toleration which called for the death penalty for anyone who denied the trinity . . .

No, it didn't...hence the name "toleration."

>>> Yep, real proud "Christian" traditions there.

True, one could be very proud for having saved the immortal souls of heathens.

"Sure, we don't mind y'all livin' here with the 75+% of us who are Christian."

>>> So very big(otted) of you. Guess you aren't much on civil rights are you ?

What has one got to do with the other?
