    It’s a free country, isn’t it. They have the freedom of speech backing them. Oh thats right you damn liberals don’t like the constitution unless it works in your favor.

    Lets not throw stones. The battle is Gods. Lets be as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves. If Love loses here in this life-time it is Gods judgment in the next .

    Regarding Michael James statement:
    With freedom of speech comes responsibility. To advocate implicitly or explicitly violence against another human being just because they are perceived as somewaht “different” is in violation of common decency and deprives the victims of their right to “Life. Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Regarding “liberals not liking the constitution unless it works in their favor” I ask, what parts of the constitution do you accept and what parts do you disregard? Do you accept that “All Men are Created Equal” or is this reserved for whites only?

    This is such a dreadful idea. I am ashamed the KKK was formed in my home state of Tennessee. The Civil War really did happen but it is not something to be proud of and especially to adorn your state tag.

    @michael james
    On the contrary, us “damn liberals” believe in free speech and the right of folks to make fools of themselves. In fact, I LIKE the idea, because it will tell me who I should watch out for!
