Why is there a bill of rights if so many organizations do not follow it??

Question

There are so many places that i go to in this country that oyu can not express what you believe is right with out being critisiced for it. For example, I know that Bush is fixing all the mistakes that clinton made when he was in office and that is why I am not going to vote for his wife. I am critisized for doing so. When you answer please put a lot of detail.

Answer 1

Actually, right there, you have the key in your first sentence: "you can not express what you believe is right without being criticized for it".

The key here is that you DO have those rights in the bill of rights, you CAN express yourself. But you do not want to hear criticism, so you CHOOSE not to express your beliefs. You HAVE freedom of religion, etc, but other people ALSO have the right to THEIR beliefs, and to disagree with yours. Just as you have the right to disagree with theirs. Obviously, by laying criticism on YOUR beliefs, they are not afraid of having their own challenged. So do some research, find out the beliefs of the person challenging you, and hold your ground. You have that right. You may not change their mind, they might still criticize your beliefs, but you have the right to express them regardless. That is the wonderful thing about America.

Now, I don't know much about organizations, but businesses are run by people. While many have gone to the courts to have more EQUALITY in businesses, it is pretty much a fact that if it is YOUR business, and you are not receiving Federal money, that you can run it how you wish. But everyone in this country has the right to start their own business if they like, so you could start a business that has your beliefs structured into it. But then expect that you MIGHT receive challenges of not following the very things this country was founded on, including EQUALITY.

I WILL take exception to one thing that you mentioned, however, and that is that you think Bush is fixing ANYTHING. I probably won't be voting for Hillary either, but that is not because of Bush, it is because she is inconsistent in her promises. Bush has done nothing but create more problems. I'm hoping that both Republicans AND Democrats can pull a decent person out of their hats, though, because I enjoy an HONEST debate, and haven't seen an HONEST person in the White House EVER in my 25 years.

Answer 2

That's what this country is all about. You the choice to do as you please. Not always a good thing, but it's there. It could be worse. You could live in Cuba etc. and have someone else thinking for you.
