"This is America, the land you love, the home of the FREE. Freedom of speech, remember?" Then both of them equally had a right to post their POV, correct? Sometimes one persons POV can get boorish, repetitive &/or taken to extremes & beyond any sense of credibility. At what point does one have to say enough tolerance of this bogus extremist chit?!!? I see nothing wrong with someone else exercising their right to freely express themselves & venting a little bit, don't you? IMO, freedom of speech is a two way street. You are free to dish it out any way you like & I am free to call it the way I see it. Or, I may just choose to simply ignore it when it is too ridiculous to bother with.

No one's free speech was violated in the exchange. Tolerance is not obligated by the constitution, and tolerance prescribed destroys free speech. Oh yeah, and free speech is not guaranteed on pay-to-post message boards, Term of Use, blah, blah, blah, etc.

I should have left it at the point that his making a big deal of the present administration's planning for regime change before taking office was to be expected. Had they not done so would be an indication of incompetence. Too bad, so sad that the level of education in this country is so poor that people depend upon this type of journalism to guide their impression of political figures. Of course, I acknowledge that it works both ways. The fact is, however, that the press is overwhelmingly Democratic-Radical-Left. Including the Washington Post, which also editorialized... Saddam's Winning Wars Washington Post nl12.newsbank.com September 25, 2000; Page A20 Section: Editorial Word Count: 684 A DECADE AGO Iraq invaded Kuwait. Operation Desert Storm in 1991 expelled Saddam Hussein's troops and left Iraq subject to an embargo that can be lifted only when the United Nations certifies that Iraq has abandoned weapons of mass destruction. Yet Saddam Hussein himself has remained in power, invulnerable, seemingly, to either internal revolt or external economic pressure. As the war he provoked recedes into history, the coalition of Western and Arab states that once opposed him has...
