    The Rev. Franklin Graham Says President Obama was 'Born a Muslim'

    Because I have become convinced that the seeds of truth cannot grow in rock. How can you debate with people who believe things that are blatantly untrue? No matter how many facts you point out, there are folks who still believe that Obama is a Muslim and a socialist, that climate change is a...

    The Rev. Franklin Graham Says President Obama was 'Born a Muslim'

    Threads like these are why I have basically given up on this site. This is ridiculous. It's like the entire site has turned into the conspiracy forum. Anyone have a good suggestion for a good political site where reasonable people can discuss politics? Where there is a good ratio between...

    Dr. Laura Claims She Lost Her First Amendment Rights, Is she correct?

    Agreed -- people have every right to protest the Mosque, just like everyone has the right to protest stupid radio talk show hosts. No one's 1st amendment rights have been violated in either case. Had the government prohibited the Mosque from building simply because of their religion, or...

    Is this case of forcing values that goes against religion wrong?

    I agree with this; the government has policies that any agency (religious or not) would have to follow. If the group does not wish to follow it, then they don't have to participate.

    Dr. Laura Claims She Lost Her First Amendment Rights, Is she correct?

    You'd think that someone who has a show in which she discusses politics would know something about politics, wouldn't you?

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    I certainly am, as I said here plenty of times. I think Hate Crime legislation is unconstitutional, in that in punishes people for what they think.

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    Yes, but content based speech simply because it is insulting has never been banned, and never should be. Now you're getting the content of the speech confused with the "Time, Place and Manner" exception, which does NOT prohibit the speech itself but only the way it is presented. You have...

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    Interesting! I don't know. I suppose a DA could make that argument. Not sure if it would stick.

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    OK, I understand your concern, but how do you then make an exception to the 1st amendment to allow this without another amendment? This is like flag burning. No one likes it, it insults all of us, but it's protected speech nonetheless. You'd have to change the constitution to prohibit it.

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    A scam that is protected by the Constitution. He didn't say it under oath (then it would be perjury). He didn't use this lie to con people out of money (then it would be fraud). He basically lied to enhance his resume (just like certain politicians have done!). Of course we don't like it...

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    The shame is that conservatives who claim to be "strict constructionists" of the Constitution ignore it when their feelings are hurt.

    Appeals court: Stolen Valor Act unconstitutional

    The key to remember is this: There is a LOT of speech out there that is disrespectful, hurts the feelings of other people, and simply makes you angry. A lot of this speech is lies. If you start making this speech illegal, that's a very dangerous path. Next someone will make it illegal to use...
