At this point they are looking to locate. I would say the chances of them moving are very good. I will be heading 116 miles east when needed to help protest the possible relocation.

You'd better be prepared because they are going to throw around first amendment rights all day long! The Supreme Court has held that obsinity can be restricted, but they define that as being pornography and nudity, or "whatever would be offensive to the majority of the community shown." So you don't really have a case here. You could try to show that there is a clear and present danger shown, under Schenk v. U.S. However, I don't think you've got a case. The U.S. Supreme Court hasn't really made a ruling on hate speech , which is what this qualifies as, in my opinion. In Gitlow v. New York, the Supreme Court actually ruled that such language could not be restricted. You're going to have a hard time fighting this legally. They're going to argue that you are saying "Well if you say that we don't have the right to be here, then you are saying that the first amendment basically protects free speech until we say something you don't like!"

You're really in a tough spot. This list is not all inclusive of what the courts have ruled, but just a quick little note on what I know of the subject from high school and college classes dealing with the topic, and I've tried to pay attention as I'm planning to teach this stuff one day!

The plan for the local residents is to practice their free speech and be very vocal in opposition and make it as inhospitable as possible while they are in town looking at property. Businesses plan to refuse to do business with them. Glad it is not my town, but it is to close for me.

I can not stand people who believe they are better then someone else. We are all a part of this planet and share the dreams of freedom, success, and happiness.
There are groups other then white that have the same beliefs.

If the two videos a friend sent me are true, there are Muslim groups in the U.S. training it's members to slit the throats of anyone who opposes them. One of these groups is located in western MI.

we are all colored people.....
 
Hey Guys.....sorry that I'm just now getting in on this one. I have beenaway from
the computer all day and girlfriend came over tonite and we watched the Olympics.

Todd......Pray.
Pray for these ignorant lost souls who try to twist our freedoms to their benifit. The
one common tatic that " Hate Groups " like to use is getting the people of a community stirred up so they can say state their reasons for their so called
" white power ". Taz, you are right and so the others on this topic. Preach on " Cowboy " and others......
We are ALL created in God's image ! No person is better than the other person. We may think differently, act differently and communicate differently but we are all God's
Children. It sickens me that groups like this are still around and continue to grow in small pockets from our society. What makes me mad the most is whenever
I see a small child that has been dressed up like a kkk member or a neo-nazi. This kind of poisoning of the mind has to stop ! Now I may not agree with
everyperson in the world but I don't hate them. God teaches me to love my fellow man and help him when he is lead astray and into sin. Pray for these
persons Todd. Pray that God will convict them and that they will learn to love man not fear man or hate man.
Threre is a song by DC-TALK called " Colored People " and it talks about this very topic. The group is a littel grungy but DC Talk has a wonderful message about how we
are ALL Colored people.
Pray.

What are you (the reader of this) doing to make

(Beside owning & driving the AweSome Chevrolet Monte Carlo) :D

My grandfather taught me one main rule/code/creed
to live by:

"Don't purposely hurt yourself or Other's & do everything
in your powers to Stop the hurt to others"

That's `it, & it's simple.
Just think what a great World it could be,
`if everyone followed that one simple rule

and lived in Peace & Happiness...`amen

Well put Space. You aren't the only one with that dream.

I find it disturbing to see their kids dressed up in kkk outfits and wearing the swastica.

I pray that one day they'll see the error of their ways. So we can all work together to make this world a better place.

Space, to quote another great American:


I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Thank You `Lou,
It's great to know that I am not alone..

There were wise/intelligent people in that era of time that have
not sold their souls to obtain power.
Integrity must be instilled back into government
for our country to prosper & grow in `peace.

We should lead by example, and not by force.
We should take care of our family first, before we
go to our neighbors, and tell them how to live.
We should speak `True & act our words.
`Amen

The US will never get rid of racism due to the fact there is to much money to be made by it. If the US really wanted to get rid of racism there is two major areas that it could work on. One is the government and the other is media. I have talked with alot of difference races of people and they all agree with me.

First, government. Simply put there is votes and money to be made by it. If the US government was truely serious about getting rid of racism they would not have special programs for minorities. That in itself is helping fuel racism. Of someone that really needs it and can't get it but someone doesn't really need it but can get it because of their race....then we got problems with the system. Truely, if the US government would reread the Dec. of Indep. and get away from all of the minorities stuff and truely have all men created equal then you have taken away alot of future issues that can or will come up. If you do not believe this will work...Go to England...they had slaves and when they decided it was wrong they freed them made them equal to everyone else and now go over there and there is little to no racism.

Secondly is the media. The media likes this stuff because it gives them stories and ratings. If 6 white kids beat up one black kid then on the media it because of race but if 6 black kids beat up one white kid they claim it is not because of race. And when you turn on the news at night what do you see....a white police officer shooting a black person and of course he doesn't like minorities etc or you see some young black person that is caught in some crime. Now when you are watching that if you are black you think that every white police officer is out to get you. And if you are white you watch the news you think that every young black person is a criminal because that is all you see on the news. The media had been programing this country for years and people believe it.

If people in the US would quit trying to sub classify themselves with other nations and just call themselves what they truely are. We are all Americans so we need to all view ourselves as Americans and quit trying to seperate ourselves.

On a sidenote, in school they told us...white is not a color it is a shade of a color just like black is a shade of a color. But if you look at the light colors then black is the void of all light and white is all light combined.

On another sidenote, if you think that I am racist then meet me at the track...when that light turns green you will see my racism come out :P Cuz the race will be on :)
