People showing up to meetings to shout people down that they disagree with is depriving them of their right to free speech. Pure and simple, Un-American.Quote:

Free speech is free speech whether it is shouted or whispered. DON"T tell me expressing your opinion is un- American, unless the US Constitution has been recently changed.Quote:

I remember here in Pittsburgh, a WWII veteran was arrested and detained (but not charged) for carrying an anti-Iraq war poster to a presidential speech with Mr. Bush. How's THAT for freedom of speech? There was a designated area for "protesters" out of camera range, and when he refused to be herded into this area, he was arrested. This isn't new.Quote:

I think that there has always been talk of the "silent majority". Now those who have remained silent and trusting have realized that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.
Quit scratching your head your hair will fall out. of course it was a smart thing us dumb ones like to read it.....now the comprehension part might be a problem. :)Quote:
