Anti-Obama Billboard Claiming 1st Amendment In Danger Proves The Exact Opposite

anti Obama billboard

Just to start…this is right outside of my hometown of Kansas City so this is one of those things I take personally.

Nonetheless…

1st Amendment rights are obviously alive and well if folks can create a billboard that sits on one of the most well traveled highways in the country and suggests that Obama is a communist and makes a quasi-revolutionary call.

I mean…do they not see the irony of this?

Second, has Obama restricted ANY 2nd Amendment rights so far? Obviously he’s not a big gun rights advocate, and he was in favor of renewing the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, but abandoned that in April in favor of ratifying a treaty that only deals with small arms trafficking.

Ugh…

Here’s the question: Do people really think we’re going to become a communist state? I mean…do they TRULY believe that? Or are these just craven attempts at scaring people?

    They believe it because they want to believe it and then they don’t have to admit to what is the driving force behind their hatred for this particular president. The White House is now full of blacks and Jews, of course they are freaking out. Which may account for something I came across earlier today:

    U.S. Jews Lead Other Religious Groups in Support of Obama

      Haha, that’s an interesting point. Hadn’t thought about it that way.

        Gardner you are too naive. It is logical that this administration is trying to make the fabric of this country a socialist country. Remember that first you have to transition to a socialist state, than you can become a communist country. The Soviet Republic was a socialist country. The only country which is recognized as “close” to the communist ideal is the Cuban nation. America is far away of being communist but is going in the direction of being a socialist country like many other European countries.
        Hahahaha, I come from Italy which used to have the biggest communist party in Western Europe, and I saw their tactics. Unfortunately most socialist countries in Europe use the same tactics which now they have transferred here in America, where you must be “politically correct “if you want to be accepted by the media. The reason why many people come or came here, is because they still can say what they think, which it will not happen in a socialist country for the simple reason that they will prevent anything you do.

    There’s another irony, in that without context, you could easily take this billboard to be calling for a communist revolution.

    How do we know deep cover obama surrogates didn’t put it up to drum up a backlash?

    Live free or die? sounds like pelosi talking to homeless people

    1st and 2nd amendments in jeopardy? sound like harvard constitutional professor obama is giving you fair warning

    They are coming for you the taxpayer? sounds like the IRS is trying to scare you into being honest on your taxes to a dishonest governnmnet

    Let’s see. Could BO be Communist? Far fetched?
    His mother and father were Communists. His grandparents were Communists. His Black mentor in HI was a Communist. He says in his book he always associated in college with radical teachers.
    HMMM.. No I guess he saw the light and became a free market capitalist, you know like the ones that take over car companies, banks, nationalize the health industry….yada yada yada.
    Yeah…real far fetched.
