Reply to "Football, Prayers, and the First Amendment"

You shouldn't have to buy your constitutional rights.

 

I'd like to think we live in a country where communities can speak and express themselves freely without having to pay the government for the privilege first.

 

================================================================

 

 We have to pay taxes so I guess we're buying our and the churches "rights". What communities don't express themselves freely?  Does anyone on this forum live anywhere that they can't do that? You can talk about the bible belt all you want, run down Alabama all you want, but the truth is anywhere you go in this country you're going to find the same people as you have here, and you're going to see all sorts of signs and religious symbols in their yards, on their cars and businesses. (I even have a statue of St Francis of Assisi in my yard but that's a whole "nother" story.)  
St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology.

 

But no one has the "right" to tell me I HAVE to put those things in my yard or that I have to sit and listen to prayers in public (taxpayer's) buildings, stadiums etc, and if I don't "like" it I can leave.
