The First Amendment doesn’t trump big money
Well one thing we learned this weekend is that Freedom of Speech and assembly is available for crazy racists in tri-corner hats, but not those who deign to criticize the multi-millionaires of Wall Street.

Well one thing we learned this weekend is that Freedom of Speech and assembly is available for crazy racists in tri-corner hats, but not those who deign to criticize the multi-millionaires of Wall Street.
You criticize the bull you get the horns.
We have learned the media will not pay attention to those protesting large scale thieves even in large numbers until they are forcibly removed for having the temerity to engage in said fictional rights. But if you are a crank who doesn’t think the 16th Amendment exists you and your two friends will get a Cable Network to do your bidding.
These Wall Street Protesters were arrested by cops because they are mad about being fleeced by the rich…worse than people usually are.
But if they were protesting that cops should be stripped of their pensions, salaries, and collective bargaining rights — they’d be able to sit there and waive their fake Kenyan Birth Certificates as much as they’d like.
