The least government possible is the best.

Founder’s totally “got it”.

School of hard knocks taught them.

Yes, they did!!

And, as Jefferson expressed it clearly, it was actions which the law was to punish--not conscience or expressions of conscience. That is what he meant when he emphasized as much in the quotation used in my first post:

"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg." - Thomas Jefferson
All of these teachings of Progressive cultists which advocate punishing what some "elitists" in government have chosen to identify as "hate" speech are, in fact, infringements on political speech--rights which the Framers of our Constitution intended to allow and encourage--not smother and destroy.

The Progressive ideology of Clinton and all the Progressives know that, historically, when people are allowed to be fully informed about their rights, they will choose freedom, and that cannot be tolerated (see the faces of Progressive Democrats at the State of the Union?).

Statistics from polls this week prove the Founders were correct. When "the People" heard directly from the Executive, they tended to be less negative about him as a person. That must not be allowed if you're a Progressive, group-think cultist!
