The Day The First Amendment Died In Arizona

By Semperpapa

And that day was January 12 2011.

Arizona State legislature passed a bill that would curtail the Westboro Baptist Church hate mongers from spewing their venom at the funerals of the victims of the Tucson massacre.
Utilizing the emotional component behind the upcoming funeral of Christina Taylor Green, the 9 year old victim of the attack, the legislature was unanimous in the passing of the bill.

The move by the Arizona legislature is the very first step toward the progressive nullification of the First Amendment rights of the American people, a clear success for those who have been polluting the media since the massacre with their attacks against the American conservative movement. This is a victory for Al Sharpton and Bill Press, Alan Greyson and James Clyburn.

Surely the decision is welcomed on its face value, because nobody is approving in the least the type of hate that the WBC has been bringing into the American socio-political discourse.
As a Patriot Guard Rider, I am very well aware of the internal fury that these people can provoke, but the victory in Arizona is for the censorship movement of the progressive liberals, not the decency of America.

The web site American Chronicle has a disgusting piece titled Tea Party Will Picket Christina Green's Funeral.

The article is a pure piece of political assassination, because there is absolutely no connection under any circumstance, between the TEA Party and the miscreants tribe of Fred Phelps.
And yet, throughout the ugly piece, the writer continues to address the WBC protesters as TEA party activists.
The bill so adamantly passed in Arizona, together with rhetoric like that of the American Chronicle, will give the executioners of the Constitution the ability of using the same laws to stifle the right of real TEA Party activists to voice their grievances against the government in the future.

It is also heartwarming that the politicians finally found religion in regard to the vile protestations of the WBC, considering that these folks have been imposing their hurtful hatred upon the families of thousands of American soldiers, but up until now, the same politicians were unable to do anything about it. More like they were unwilling and uninterested in doing anything about it.
After all it was the families of some bloodthirsty Army murderer who was being distraught. Right!

Yesterday, Arizona legislature handed over to the enemies of America a victory that will resonate in the future of our Nation. Thank goodness this crisis did not go to waste!

Just my thoughts!
