Rep. Cleaver makes reference to a website registered to a Rev. Will Bowen. What is the quid pro quo?

Why do you rightwingtards have such a big problem understanding the first amendment?

First AJ claims the first amendment doesn't apply to "emotive attacks" on people or some such tripe and now you're claiming that a congressman is proposing to suspend the first amendment because he's calling for a "complaint free" day?

Do you ever think things through?

 

[off2bed]

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

 

[off2bed]

If a Republican got together with some church and proposed this, you moonbats would throw a shit fit.

 

[naughtycakes]

Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech.

And what law is he making abridging the freedom of speech then?

Yeah, facts can be pesky!

What don't you understand about a Congressman proposing a resolution telling us not to complain?

Why don't you quote the part of the letter where it states the congressman wants to pass a law banning freedom of speech, because I've read it twice and couldn't find it.

Supporting the goals and ideals of ‘Complaint Free Wednesday’.

Whereas the average person complains approximately 15 to 30 times per day, resulting in roughly 4,500,000,000 complaints spoken every day in the United States;

Whereas complaining keeps people focused on current problems stultifying their innate abilities to seek and create positive, harmonious solutions;

Whereas complaining has been shown by research psychologists to be detrimental to a person’s physical and emotional health, relationships, and to limit their career success;

Whereas the ‘A Complaint Free World’ organization is to be recognized for its efforts to encourage people to redirect their minds toward more positive, constructive, and rewarding lives and for its goal to positively inspire at least 1 percent of the global population (60 million people) to become complaint free;

Whereas thousands of people across the United States, including many students, have already adopted the complaint free attitude; and

Whereas ‘Complaint Free Wednesday’ will be observed on the day before Thanksgiving, providing each person in the United States a day free from complaining in order to prepare for a day of gratitude: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That Congress--

(1) supports the goals and ideals of Complaint Free Wednesday;

(2) encourages each person in the United States to remember that having a positive life begins with having a positive attitude; and

(3) recognizes and reaffirms the meaning of Thanksgiving by asking each person in the United States to use ‘Complaint Free Wednesday’ to refrain from complaining and prepare for a day of gratitude.

Right, so what part of having a "complaint free day," once a year on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, is in violation of the first amendment?

Are you really this dense?

You certainly are.

That is an ad-hominananaum-by-gender attack, and as such, it is NOT protected by teh first amendment!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

 

[naughtycakes]

You certainly are.

Ok, so explain it to me.

Go ahead

 

[off2bed]

Hey, if you want to live in a country where the government tells you to STFU, go ahead.

I will not STFU.

Nah, that wasn't a misogynist attack at all.

 

[off2bed]

I hereby declare the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to be COMPLAIN LIKE A SONOFABITCH DAY.

Nice evading, but you didn't answer my question. Here it is again:
