I too must wag a finger at Mr. Krauss, for stating that Regis Houllions anti-gay language was inflammatory and disrespectful. He was only exercising his First Amendment right to express his bigotry and favorable views of inequality. Was Clippers owner Don Sterling merely exercising his First Amendment right with his views on inequality? Was rancher Clive Bundy merely exercising his First Amendment right with his racists views and bigotry? And cant the Grand Dragon of the KKK spew his hatred of blacks via the First Amendment? The answer to all the above is yes.
So to you Mr. Krauss, I say shame on you. This is America dagnabbit, not Russia or North Korea. We are free to say any hateful, disrespectful, bigoted, racist or inflammatory words we wish.
On a side note ... never yell fire in a crowded theater or yell hi to your friend Jack, on a crowded airplane. Never ever!

Letter: Wag a finger
Speaking at a Family Research Council pastors retreat yesterday, Senator Ted Cruz warned the audience that Senate Democrats want to repeal the first amendment with a new amendment placing more limits on campaign finance that Cruz said is meant to muzzle peoples ability to speak out against bad government practices.
He charged that the 41 Democrats co-sponsoring the amendment want to give Congress unlimited authority to regulate political speech, which means they have signed onto repealing the First Amendment.
And what Cruz found most troubling is how the amendment says it protects freedom of the press, but makes no similar statements about freedoms of speech and religious liberty. He warned that if the amendment passes, politicians will have the power to muzzle each and every one of you.
