No First Amendment?

I think there are many Americans who just don’t appreciate how much the First Amendment to the Constitution means to us. We criticize our government on a regular basis, and there’s really nothing it can do about it because the First Amendment protects us. The same is true of criticizing some people’s religion. Liberals criticize Christianity all the time, and the same is true. Nobody can do anything about it because of the First Amendment. It’s different in other countries. In Iran, for instance, if you criticize the regime, OR their religion, you can expect possibly to die in prison. That happened to Vahid Sayadi Nasiri, a 37-year-old Iranian blogger, was arrested in 2015 and received an eight year jail sentence for “insulting Islamic sanctities” and criticizing Iran’s Shi’a Islamist regime, the U.S.-based watchdog Iran Human Rights Monitor said. He began his hunger strike in October protesting the inhumane prison conditions and frequent beatings by fellow inmates. Yes, they only gave him eight years, but it turned out to be a death sentence. Thank God and the Founders for their foresight in including the Bill of Rights in the Constitution, a document some people, liberals all (Tories), think is an “outdated document.” (Legal Insurrection)
