1st Amendment on Display


I guess these folks don't live in a neighborhood with a Home Owners' Association:

If you can't tell what's in the photo, it's a soldier's uniform, hanging from a noose. The sign reads "Your Tax Dollars at Work."
They (the home owners) released a statement saying, "There will always be people who are offended by political speech, and the most important forum of all ... is one's own residence. The First Amendment is meaningless unless dissent is allowed."
Yes, it makes me sick. No, I don't understand these people. But it's their right to voice their political views. It was dissent just like this that the First Amendment was written for.

So, I hate what they said. I don't agree with them. But I defend their right to say it.
