what BushCo fails to understand -- or just chooses to ignore -- is . . .
that American citizens have the Constitutional right to say anything they damn well please about their government (short of advocating assassination or overthrow) . . . that individuals and groups are being targeted as potential threats because they exercise this right violates the Constitution itself, and should be grounds for impeachment (along with scores of other illegal actions that BushCo has undertaken) . . .

1. Somebody has blown smoke up his ass
and convinced him that he "leads" the country when in fact he is an employee of the citizens. He works for us and if we don't like the job he does we can and should fire his ass.

2. The * cabal has never worked for the people.
That and *’s Christianity are total masquerades. My friend, the smoke blowing up OUR ass is from the WH and MSM.

While I do believe that he and his entire regime should be impeached ASAP, it will only happen sooner than later if the * cabal decides to cut their losses. I don’t see that in the cards.

So we the people must pressure our representatives in all forms of government: local, state and federal. And we should toss them out at the earliest opportunity if they do not respond in kind.

I will not be voting for Hillary Clinton to be my future senator.

3. Freedom of Speech
Yes--we certainly do have the right to say anything we want to about our government.

And, for everything we do say, there will be natural consequences--consequences that we may not necessarily have any control over. Those things must be anticipated BEFORE we speak.

What we do NOT have a right to is the right to say anything about our government that we wish WITHOUT any consequences, intended or unintended.
