I think many people are confused. Many people, like me, believe in the constitution. They believe in freedom. And people are hesitant to start defining too much what one can and cannot do; worrying that it might start limiting the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, as human beings.
However, what we must remember is that amidst "freedom" there is still right and wrong. Yes, people should be free to speak, live, work, worship and learn how they will - but there is still right and wrong. The constitution is based on underlying fundamental values. Values must still remain in place. The constitution was created for this "one nation under God." The freedoms of our country are based on god-given values if which crumble, so will the freedoms and framework of our country.
We must speak up for truth and right. We must voice our values - as Americans and human beings. And be grateful for the constitution that still allows us to do so. As long as this country and government runs the way it's supposed to, the majority voice will be heard. Let's make that majority voice be one fighting, not only for freedom, but for right and truth, goodness and morality. Not to limit others' freedoms, but to allow the freedom that comes with truth and right! When someone is doing wrong, they can never be free anyway. And when a country is built upon wrong principles, it will fall.
(Will the day come when we allow someone to go around stealing, or killing because it's what they believe or it's what they prefer or what they are inclined to do?? Just a thought.)
