When they use their position as gov't officials to push this, then yes, it's violation of free speech.

No, it is not...point me to the law that says if you're a politician you must surrender your opinion or ability to persuade by FS?

I tend to agree with you. However, these ladies remind me of Ron White. They had the right to remain silent, but did not have the ability. Thus proving they are either drunk or stupid.

It's the same as when the ACLU or the Dems claim that some government worker who displays a cross or a "Merry Christmas" statement at their work station, or a state flag that has some kind of Christian symbol is violating the "establishment clause" of the Constitution.

All the ACLU arguments are bogus because the part in question begins, "Congress shall make no law . . . " The display of Christmas greetings and other Christian symbols are not, in any stretch of the imagination, attempts of Congress to establish any one religiion over another.

From another point of view, it is like the current flap over Chaplins in the military praying in Jesus' name. Or, schools having prayers at graduation. Now we have a "Senior Opening," and "Closing Remarks." These were both prayers, plainly addressed to "Our Father."

I agree with you that these are not violations of the Constitution, but they are claimed to be by the same libs and Dems that now want to "ban" Coulter's book.

Do you see my point?
