Which Freedoms are Left?

[righteousrepublic]

Listen to tyrants at work. They care less about the rights of citizens. They have no reasoning power to inform paranoid callers that people filming have the Constitutional right to do so and to leave them alone.

Not cooperating does not encompass standing up for one's rights. The cops will nag and intimidate you until you finally give up, unless you truly believe you have rights.


Cop: I don't want to stand here and debate the law with you, I just want you to obey me and give up your rights. I am a law enforcer, even though I know nothing of the law, I have a badge and a gun and that is all you need to be concerned with.

I work as an editorial cartoonist, I do not feel that the government has any say over what I draw about or the opinions that I express in those drawing. We cartoonists are given a rather wide berth, at least in the U.S. and Canada we are.

Draw Mohammed, or portray homosexuality in a negative light.


You would be fired by the end of the day, and we both know it.

They dont necessarily have to create laws to restrict your freedom. They can create a culture of fear and intimidation where none dare offer a dissenting opinion out of fear of having their ability to provide for their family destroyed.

Well as a matter of fact I have drawn Mohammed, not one of my better cartoons but I did it. I have drawn plenty of cartoon which employ stereotypes of homosexuals when the push silly extremes in state legislatures. It would not be possible for anyone to fire me as I, like most other editorial cartoonists these days work in syndication and so I don’t have an employer as such.

The most recent cartoonist to get fired for what he was drawing was Rob Rogers of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. He was fired because his cartoons were too critical of Donald Trump.

This proves my point, and since YOU made it partisan this now has to be addressed.

You provided one side of the story. There is no way to independently prove that Rob Rogers was fired for being too critical of Trump because his former employer isn't providing their side of the story. This is all that was said.

“The Post-Gazette does not provide details about employment matters, but in light of Mr. Rogers’ public comments today, we do want to acknowledge his long service to the newspaper and our community. Any further discussions will be conducted with Mr. Rogers as a private matter.”

Looks like they were more professional about it than he was but for all we know his real reason for being fired was that he was sexually harassing everything with a pulse. He certainly wouldn't publicly admit that if that was the case.


only two out of 59 national newspapers endorsed Trump, the rest including the Pittsburgh post gazette endorsed Hillary.

Only 7% of journalists are Republican

What media bias? Journalists overwhelmingly donated to Hillary Clinton

This suggestion that there is a conservative bias in our media is as much of a pathetic joke as our "free press" has become. Present company not excluded.

Left or right, and I have never hidden my politics here or anywhere else. The fact remain I can not be fired. Clients could drop their subscription to my service but none did following eithe my Mohammed cartoon or the ones on homosexuals inspire of your suggestions otherwise.

The answer is that there are no freedoms left for the average American Citizen. Every single ammendment in the Bill of rights has been erroded. The elitists in the press will retain their rights so long as the support they support the agenda of the gadianton robbers.

I'm not sure if the right to assemble means a gathering on a street, but whatever it means exactly, Big Nick, a first amendment auditor, told the cops to leave them alone because they had a right to assemble according to the Constitution, and they left.

Just another example of cops doing all they can to trample on rights of citizens. And why should we have to have a permit no matter the race, color or creed?

Notice that when cops are confronted with Constitutional rights, they say "I'm not going to debate this with you." Why is this?

I salute you, Big Nick.
