First Amendment Under Fire

A city in Florida is actually fining a man $500.00 a day for posting the words of the First Amendment on his building.

Florida city 'spitting in veterans' faces'

Most of you will find this a little funny but I, for one, find it terrifying. Think about what a government would do if it is willing to fine someone for displaying the very words of our Constitution that protect his right to speak. The irony is almost unbearable. How far would such a government go under the cover of night? How far would it go if it gets away with this garbage?

You should fear any government that would oppress its people in bold defiance of the very document from which it derives its power. This is funny on some level, but it is far more terrifying on the surface. No truly free country would even consider this kind of oppression, let alone actually doing it openly and flagrantly.

Hopefully, the tyrannical arrogance of Clearwater Florida will be defeated rather than spread to other city governments.

This kind of tyranny is why I started this blog and it is why I shall never allow my own voice to be silenced. Indeed, the harder any tyranny tries to silence my voice, the louder it will become.
