The Bill of Rights

The American Way

The recent shootout in Garland, Texas reveals a subtle truth.

There is a reason why terms such as "homegrown terrorist" are used as code for the word 'Muslim.' The reason is that the 'prohibition clause' of our First Amendment creates a dilemma that makes us vulnerable to a religion carrying the baggage of politics — such as binary Islam. Islam pushes a domineering political system from behind the veil of religion. Euphemistic folly is a derivative of trying to separate religious violence from religion, while staying within the guidelines of the First Amendment. 

In the case of a tyrannical religion rearing its ugly head, the Second Amendment contains the resolution for some ambiguity found in the First. 

Those guys, back in 1791, knew exactly what they were doing.
