United States Bill of Rights

To set limits on government actions in regard to personal liberties.

The Bill of Rights is the collective name for the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. These limitations serve to protect the natural rights of liberty and property. They guarantee a number of personal freedoms, limit the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and reserve some powers to the states and the public. While originally the amendments applied only to the federal government, most of their provisions have since been held to apply to the states by way of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The 2nd Amendment is the MOST important.
Without it the others can be taken away...

The Second Amendment.

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

- Thomas Jefferson

but without a free press and speech, you may not know when you'll need your arms

Not saying we have either right fully, but being allowed to is the best start of any country.

I'd say the 1st,2nd and 6th amendments are equally important......................Removing any one of these jeopardizes all the others.

I am a strict constitutionalist...............Do not read things into it that do not exist.If in fact I have a viewpoint that will not hold water under the constitution I will change my position.However I see liberal moves almost daily trying to skirt the constitution to empower themselves.I just do not get it.......Do they not understand where we would be without the constitution.....or does it just not matter to them as long as they win??????

If the rights are unalienable and from God, aren't they all equally important?

If the rights are unalienable and supposedly from God, aren't they all equally unimportant?

You are more right than you know about not having a free press

We have a homogenization of the "free" press and government. Virtually all journalists are ardent leftist Ideologues.

Assuming for the sake of discussion that your statement is true, so what in terms of constitutional free speech? The first amendment is a restriction of government interference with the press, not what the ideologies the members of the press MIGHT have.

Wasn't it Jefferson who said:

"Periodic revolution, at least once every 20 years, is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."

Yup, and good for them. This is nothing new. Happens in every administration, some more than others. The Patriot act and other laws since 9/11 have made it worse.

You actually believe that? Why did they turn on Howard Dean in 2004? Why aren't they crucifying the blatantly sexist and bigoted Rick Santorum? Why didn't they (fully) expose Donald Rumsfeld's meetings with Saddam Hussein and outright lies about WMDs? Why didn't they fully expose the U.S.'s dealings with the Taliban and Al-Queda during the 80s? Why didn't they harp on Rick Perry for being Al Gore's beyotch in the 80s?

Come on, man. The media is not leftist. They are corporatist just like 90% of our elected leaders.

Smoke and mirrors, bitches!
