This Country was founded on the principle of Free Speech. It has nothing to do with intelligence.

Over the course of this particular Administration and Congress I have heard some of the worst comments by some of the savviest of Politicians, Analysts, Columnists and just regular citizens.

The way I see it is that we are one Country with a grand mix of human beings that have some very common foreign enemies and that was confirmed when our Consulates in the Middle East & Africa were attacked and our Citizens Murdered.

Commenting on Conservatism has been Trumped by the present World Situation which has turned quite ugly. I think in my opinion we Americans no matter what Party we vote for should stand up as one against some really dangerous people who obviously hate us.
