They're Taking Away Our First Amendment Freedoms! Poem by Eric Nelson Manley Shelman

They're Taking Away Our First Amendment Freedoms!



They're Taking Away Our First Amendment Freedoms!

Remember when the First Amendment of our Constitution, actually meant precisely what it says, "Congress will make no law respecting establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise there of, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of people to peacefully assemble and to petition the Government, redress of grievances."
Remember when the Government, used to adhere, the freedoms of our First Amendment, before they decided to start intervening by telling us what we can think, say, and not say, do, and not do because it might be too triggerable, too offensive, too radical, too racist, too sexist, too prejudice, have too much bigotry in it, too homophobic, too transphobic, too xenophobic,too supremacist, too nationalist, too Fascist, too Communist, too Liberal, too Democratic, too Republican, too Libertarian, too Conservative, too Anarchist, too Authoritative, too Totalitarian, too Christian, too Atheistic, too Agnostic, too Theological, too Buddhist, too Hinduist, too Pagan, too Wiccan, too Philosophical, too long, too short, too destructive, too blasphemous, too heretical, too sacrilegous, too raunchy, too far-fetched, too racey, too sexually explicit, too perverted, has too much sexual innuedos in it, be too vulgar, be too obscene, be too obscure, be too adsurd, be too uncoulth, be too unconventional, be too lewd, be too laudy, be too upfront, be too blunt, be too gaudy, be too extremist, and everything else that is too politically incorrect, to anyone who can't comprehend a joke, an opinion, a fiction, a fictitious-fact, or even a known fact, but not an extremely unpopular one, by the masses!
Remember when the Government, came out, and said all news is fake news, and even fired certain journalist because of it! This intervention is a violation of our freedom of the press is it not?
Remember when the government first told the press what they can, and cannot say on television, in newspapers, magazines, books, pamphlets, and even essays! Isn't that another intrusion of our freedom of the press?
Remember when the Kathy Griffin got fired because she had a political cartoon of our president, Donald Trump's head in her hands, is this not a violation of freedom of the press as well?
Remember when all the other times that the government has censored, banned, and burnt books because they were not what they considered to be literature, or even saw some of them as threating to the populace!
Remember when the Dixie Chicks, were in France, and said something bad about President Bush, and their music, and themselves were banned in America, for years, is this not a violation of our freedom of speech?
Remember when Justin Carter, posted a sarcastic joke on Facebook, and the government took this as a terroristic threat, because he said that he is messed up in the head, and that he needed to go shoot up a kindergarten school, and it was just months after Sandy Hook, Newton Connecticut's elementary school was being shot up, at the time that he said this, so they imprisoned him, and supposedly he was physically abused there, and he was forced to go into solitary confinement for his protection, and now he is on bail for 500,000 dollars by an anynomous donar, and is still facing charges, and still in and out of court, isn't this a violation of our freedom of speech, as well?
Remember when the government made the law where you have to have a permit, and a certain number of people, in order, to protest, and counter-protest legally, is this not an infringement on our freedom to peacefully assemble?
Remember when the government actually adhered to Separation of State, and Church, now how it hyprocritically still says that it doesn't favor any one religion but practices Christianity's holidays, at the White House, and several courthouses even have Christianity's ten commandments, and/or crosses in them, and even hospitals, and clinics have paintings of Jesus Christ, in them, are these not obtrusions of our freedom of religion, by the government's bias towards one religion?
Remember the last time thegovernment, actually heard, listened, comprehended, and changed the woes of the populace, because they actually saw a problem with the people's grievances, isn't this a disobedience of our freedom to petition the government with our grievances?
