House Joins Senate in Condemning Free Speech

House Joins Senate in Condemning Free Speech
 
"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." 
 American Proverb
 
One as to wonder how it is that these supposed representatives of our people manage to so absolutely ignore the people whom they are supposed to represent. More than anything it's beginning to look like a class war, the rich just do whatever they want to do and tell the rest of us to shut up. Congress must be so tired of having their approval ratings reach historic lows that soon they'll only allow us to say whatever it is that they want to hear. Where was the outrage about the Swift Boat campaign, or the outrage over Petraeus wearing a medal which he didn't earn?
 
Wake up America, the millionaires club which is your government isn't about you. It isn't about what you want or what you need. It's all about them, now. Your Constitution and Bill of Rights is now for rich people, not for us nobodies. Not for the people who are dieing in a war which America has no legal, ethical nor moral right to wage. And rather than talk about the war, they simply pull out that tired old tactic of talking about talking about the war.
 
If you don't get it Congress, I'll enlighten you. You're supposed to listen to the people you represent. You're not supposed to be telling them to sit down and shut up.  Maybe next you'll be condemning free speech altogether. Keep this up and you'll be the first Congress in our history to have a zero percent approval rating. Not that it would mean much to you. Apparently you're serving more than one master. It's very difficult to say how it is that anything you're doing right now is serving the people of this nation or any other portion of humanity for that matter. If you want this war you should fight it yourselves and pay for it out of your own pockets.
 
Paul J. Norton, American citizen. I said it. Pass a resolution condemning me for my opinion? In my house growing up we had a saying. "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Add that on to your condemnation of free speech why don't you?
