Bait and Switch

Who knew a one word switch can make such a difference?

Freedom of Religion: What the framers of the U.S. Constitution intended this country to have. Faith is a source of strength to society and must not be controlled or limited. After all, many of the framer’s ancestors fled Europe to practice their religion without governmental control.

Freedom from Religion: What those who want to control religion insist was the framer’s intent. Faith is offensive and a threat to society and must be controlled and limited.

Freedom of Speech: What the framers of the U.S. Constitution intended this country to have. Competing ideas serve society well. After all, many of the framer’s ancestors fled Europe so they would never fear from the peaceful expression of ideas.

Freedom from Speech: What those who want to control speech insist was the framer’s intent. Competing ideas are offensive and a threat to society and must be controlled and limited.

Switch one word, and we are what we fled. Why does it make sense to destroy a thing in the name of protecting it?

"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." Abraham Lincoln
