Also, to have a potential leader openly declare that he would ignore the Constitution, and have people support that is quite disappointing. And this is coming from me, someone who definitely isn't fond of any organized religion. I do at least have a sense enough to try respect people's faith.

This has nothing to do with free speech. I'm absolutely for free speech, and don't mind hateful rhetoric, but that doesn't shield him from my opinion of his views and words.

It cuts both ways.
