.....let's not criticize people when they actually exercise those freedoms.

Why the hell not, pray tell? If it's okay for them to run down our country, our flag, the President, our way of life, giving aid and comfort to our enemies in doing so - why isn't it okay for patriotic Americans to exrcise our right to free speech and criticize them? Reminds me of an old Merle Haggard song:

Fightin' Side of Me

I hear people talking bad about
the way they have to live here in this country.
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
gripin' 'bout the way things ought to be.
Now I don't mind them switchin' sides
and standin' up for things that they believe in,
But when they're runnin' down our country man,
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Fide Of Me.

Chorus

They're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.
Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men
have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it,
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin',
When you're runnin' down our country man -
You're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.

Verse 2 I read about some squirrely guy
Who claims that he just don't believe in fightin',
And I wonder just how long
the rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk and honey
but they preach about some other way of livin',
When they're runnin' down our country man
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.

Amen, brother. Sure these filth have the right to speak their empty little minds, and we have that same right to speak back, to label them as the traitors they are. There is no"principle" behind their BS; just a determination not to let the blood of innocent Americans interfere with their educations (paid for by others, of course) and their cushy, no-sacrifices lifestyles.

The protesters of the 60's certainly had no moral principles guiding them; they actively aided and abetted the killing of Americans not only by giving aid and comfort to the communists in Vietnam and elsewhere, but by planting bombs in public places right here in America, all in the name of "world peace and justice". Their only "principle" is to hate America and everything it stands for, and the only flag they recognize is the black flag of the vandals: destroy it all, tear it all down. They are the ones who seek to stifle dissent by insisting that no one should be allowed to disagree with their anti-American (anti-life, really) views by removing the American flag from view in the name of ultra-PC "diversity". My hat's off to those who stand up to this fetid trash and say "Enough!"
