...security clearances after doing so to former CIA Director John Brennan...

What is clear with Brennen is his security clearance has not helped him, since, his pronouncements with it are nonsensical.

Leftists are restricting our speech every day.

We have no free speech for good people in America.

Ask Jimmy the Greek,Papa John and countless more.
Ruthless violent “jokes” like a bloody severed head of Trump shown on TV or Madonna blowing up the White House are allowed as free speech. One word of unfavorable attitude toward persons of color and that’s the end of a professional career in entertainment or sports or journalism or politics if the person speaking is not a person of color.

Before 1776 kind words about King George and England were free speech and ok. Any criticism by Samuel Adams, Tom Paine,John Adams or others meant threat of the gallows or imprisonment. No free speech. Just like today.

It is a very dangerous thing to create a property right in a security clearance.

The dictator in chief, obama, was the one who was taking our freedoms... ignoring the constitution, dividing the nation, ruling lawlessly... but they agreed with him so he was okay. They hate Trump so anything he does, they hate.
Their writing editorials proves they have free speech... Not so on FB and twitter... run by lefties.

They have their knowledge backwards.. but they always have.

This comes down to anything good/Christian... gives them the attitude problem... they hate to see light in their dark world.
This is a spiritual battle as well....

Jesus said,
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

John:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Someone needs to school this dumb ass Powers kid that “Free Speech” does NOT include your security clearance to sabotage and undermine National Security.

Brennan should already be in jail.

As for Kirsten... Grow up, little girl. You’re out of your league.

There must be something I liked about Kirsten Powers. Something!

Nope. Can’t think of a single thing. Some people are just toxic leftists with no redeemable qualities.

Looks like she finally went over the cliff.

Powers was always a lib but, until now, not often a foaming at the mouth total freak show.

Sides continue to be chosen.

“Coming from the bwitch that wanted American boots on the ground in Israel.”

I do not recall hat President Trump restricted John Brennan’s right to free speech, as he still can talk all he wants. However by removing his security clearance it restricted his access to privileged information, something he apparently was peddling in a roundabout way to the news media to supplement his income. This is something someone should whisper into ignorant Kirsten Power’s ear and enlighten her. But she probably is too dumb to understand.

It would appear that with the Times platform and CNN being ubiquitous at every airport gate, along with near total control of the education system, the left is not exactly being silenced.

Liberal media pukes see their classified sources drying up and are panicking.

This kind of logic is a hanging curve ball for any liberty lover (of any political persuasion) to hit out of the park.

Pay careful attention to who jumps on it...

Will this prevent Brennan from exercising his right? Absolutely not.

CNN is turning Kirsten Powers into a whack job.

They are also doing the same to Dana Bash..... and it’s unfortunate.

Yeah, if things keep up like this they’ll have no more spies in government.

How do security clearances equate to free speech?

How does a border wall equate to racism? How does attraction to women equate to misogyny?

Rinse and repeat.

Does anyone watch CNN?

Maybe Breitbart, FR and Hannity should stop covering these CNN kooks. It seems as though much of the content on conservative programs and forums is footage and montages of Leftist rants, followed by discussions of how outrageous and dishonest it is.

But by doing this, conservative news outlets are unwittingly providing a forum for every Leftist hit piece that it would not otherwise have - conservative forums are giving Leftists access to their large audiences and readerships.

Without this unintentional sponsorship the Left would wither away from lack of ratings.
