"Those pesky rights of dissent and free speech are getting in the way of the messiah's agenda. They might have to do something about that."

Yep. Whatever happened (rhetorical...) to Hillary's "Dissent is Patriotic?" Where are all those bumper stickers? we need to find and deploy them, especially if they quote HER as saying it. :o)

Here is a good article:

Is dissent still patriotic? by David Harsanyi, Jan, 21, 2009

http://www.denverpost.com/harsanyi/ci_11505879

Do all Americans truly have a yearning to fundamentally “remake” our nation? There must be a subversive minority out there that still believes the United States - even with its imperfections and sporadic recessions - is, in context, still a wildly prosperous and free country worth preserving.

Some of you must still believe that politicians are meant to serve rather than be worshiped. And there must be someone out there who considers partisanship a healthy, organic reflection of our differences rather than something to be surrendered in the name of so-called unity - which is, after all, untenable, subjective and utterly counterproductive.

How about those who praised dissent for the past eight years?

Is there anyone who still believes the Constitution was created to ensure each citizen liberty and the ability to pursue happiness rather than a guarantee of happiness - and a retirement fund, health care, a job, an education, a house ... ?
