I Am Offended That You Are Offended

I thought the the United States of America was a place that you are able to think how you want, pray how you want, believe what you want, and to say what you want. Somewhere I must have been given false information.

Growing up I was taught that the United States was founded by people that left England and other European countries to come to a place where they were able to practice religion how they want. They came to this now country to be able to live their own lives and not be told how and when and what they have to do. They wanted to own their own land to be able to produce crops for their own use. I seem to remember that their was once this piece of paper that was written upon and it said something along the lines of we are a free people.

Why is it that in today's version of the United States of America, all of these freedoms that were originally set up have been taken away? I see in the news almost every week that there has been another college group that has been shut down, somebody is having to apologize publicly for something that they have said. And why is this? Do we not have freedom of speech anymore? Are we not allowed to have an opinion that others may not have? If there is a privately owned bakery that doesn't want to make cakes for some gay couples wedding, they have that damn right. So why do those fucking gay pricks get to take that bakery to court and say that they were rejected because of their views?! That is the right of the owner. He can refuse service to anybody. He isn't saying that he won't hire them (which you can't do under equal rights), but you sure can tell someone that you are not going to bake a cake for them because you don't support their cause. There are a million other bakeries that they could go to. If I have an opinion about a different race than mine is perfectly allowable and I am able to publicly say so. Now making threats and or acting out on said race is illegal yes, however saying that a race is ignorant and deserves what they get is my opinion. If it offends you I am not sorry. That is why we live in this country, we have the agency to have an opinion. Don't fucking shut my opinion down because you don't like it, accept it as an opinion and carry the fuck on!!
