Obama passes law taking away freedom of speech!
“Likewise, if you post an image intended to distress some religious, political, ethnic, racial, etc. group, you too can be sent to jail if governments decisionmaker thinks your purpose wasn’t ‘legitimate.’ Nothing in the law requires that the picture be of the ‘victim,’ only that it be distressing to the ‘victim.

Come July 1, 2011, the state may punish you with jail time or fines should you “transmit or display an image” online — social networks such as Facebook and Twitter included — that has the possibility to “frighten, intimidate or cause emotional distress” to anyone who sees it

Re: Obama passes law taking away freedom of speech!
The same is true even if you didn’t intend to distress those people, but reasonably should have known that the material — say, pictures of Mohammed, or blasphemous jokes about Jesus Christ, or harsh cartoon insults of some political group — would ’cause emotional distress to a similarly situated person of reasonable sensibilities.’

Like posting a picture of Mohammad?

No doubt, these are the folks we are concerned with.

It seems like the odds of going to jail or being arrested in the USA are like 97%.

Tennessee state does this, not the federal government or the white house or Obama. Tennessee, sounds like a right leaning state?

You can't get anyone to read the post unless it has to do with Obama taking something away. Your right. It has nothing to do with Obama, but all GOPers will still blame him for it. Even though it's the GOPers that are doing it.
Red States have more mundane laws than blue states, yet they tell their citizens that they are for more freedom.

I love the hypocrisy and the ignorant masses that vote for them.

That's a good idea. Or even get in touch with the party and threaten blackmail.
Tell them you have the picture or joke printed and saved. If they don't send you money, you send the info to the local sherrifs office to have them arrested.

There should be some restrictions on the 1st when it comes to inciting violence no matter the group. There are numerous groups or religions organized who then advocate for instance sharia law or violent overthrow or revolution. I would even add the Georgia Guidestones.

I know, how sad that people are so ignorant that they don't even check the story posted.
I posted the same story about an hour ago with Tennessee instead of Obama. It was off the first page within seconds. This has been on the front page for a lot longer.

I agree with you, there should be a line, but the Georgia Guidestones? Those are a piece of history if anything. We don't need to live by something just because it says so, it should be up to us, but we don't need to destroy them.

By your tone, you must live in Tennessee, and you must have voted for the Republican ran government there taking away your rights. Or you’re in a similar state with a similar situation, like WI. I can understand your anger.

Obviously you are fucking retarded.

According to OUR US Constitution, a President ENFORCES the laws that the CONGRESS passes. Presidents do not make laws.

However, that said, a President can issue Executive Orders.

so I now deem this a MORAN ALERT.
