Don’t Quote Me: Rescuing the First Amendment
by Kim Ficera, December 14, 2005
Executive Director Andrea Lafferty and Founder Rev. Louis P. Sheldon

“They shut us down — but not for long … This is not only an attack on TVC but an assault against freedom of speech and freedom of religious belief. Homo-fascism is alive and well — and things are only going to get worse if we do not awaken the nation to the dangers ahead if homosexuals succeed in their goals … They will criminalize any criticism of homosexuality …and even Bible sermons on homosexuality will be considered “hate speech” if homosexuals get a federal hate crime law passed!”

--TVC’s Chairman Rev. Louis P. Sheldon on December 10, 2005, after his Web site came under a “global attack,” temporarily shutting it down. 

Look! Up in the sky. It's not a bird. It's not a plane. It's Obvious Woman!

Yes, it's Obvious Woman – not-so-strange lesbian from the planet Earth without any special power whatsoever. Obvious Woman — who can’t change the course of mighty rivers —DUH! — or bend steel in her bare hands, and who disguised as Kim Ficera, mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan city, fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice and Unambiguousness by simply stating the obvious.

In today’s episode, Obvious Woman plans to rescue the First Amendment, as well as her pals, Abundantly and Clear, from the grips of a crook from a Neanderthal past — Narcissist Man!

Narcissist Man, armed with entitlement issues and a God complex, threatens to use his Mind-Warping Machine to rule the Halls of Justice of Metrosexopolis. He’s concocted an elaborate plan to infiltrate the media and turn good citizens against one another, and he’ll try to use Abundantly and Clear as secret weapons!

Will Obvious Woman succeed in pointing out the obvious to Narcissist Man — that if he’s worried his speech might one day be considered hateful, he should be more thoughtful? Will Narcissist Man succeed in turning Metrosexopolis into Messopolis?

Stay tuned…

When we last left Obvious Woman, she was lamenting the state of Metrosexopolis. In a perfect world, everyone would have equal and very high respect for the First Amendment, but Metrosexopolis is far from perfect. Narcissist Man’s rise to power has caused great suffering in a once strong and respected nation.

By virtue of his pious facade, Narcissist Man is able to fool the good people of Metrosexopolis and turn them against one another! He’s instigated a civil war, but remains an unlikely suspect to the masses.

Obvious Woman must stop Narcissist Man from manipulating and abusing First Amendment freedoms, repeatedly ignoring the responsibilities that come with the rights to speak and worship freely, and from betraying the people he claims to love! God should be the force that drives him to be more thoughtful of his speech and mindful as to its effects, she believes, not the excuse he gives to be thoughtless and uncaring.

Obvious Woman considers the obvious: Narcissist Man dreams of a theocracy!

Since the first rule of any oppressor is to keep his subjects stupid and scared, it’s clear that Narcissist Man is overstating his free speech concerns to exacerbate fears in Metrosexopolis. His mission is to scare his countrymen into helping him keep homosexuals in their un-equal place forever!

Obvious Woman understands how deep and personal Narcissist Man’s relationship with God is, but she can’t accept his refusal to balance his faith with his obligation as a citizen of Metrosexopolis. Narcissist Man can preach God’s word eloquently — others do, after all — so why won’t he? She must figure out a way to demand better behavior from this self-described man of God who preaches moral superiority and love, and who claims to hold dear his religious freedoms!

Obvious Woman needs a plan, and fast! She must protect the unknowing citizens. But how? With Abundantly and Clear held hostage, her mission is made even more difficult. Obvious Woman is running out of time! The sands in the hourglass are falling … obviously.

With each passing moment, Narcissist Man and his henchman continue to do their dirty work and hide their contempt for homosexuals behind the First Amendment.
