Al, Questioning the motives and actions of your elected officials is not only a freedom, it is a duty. Ah, the liberal definition of "patriotism" pops up again. I know it's my civic responsibility to be involved in the community and in government, but I never heard of any "duty" to question anyone's motives or actions. That's a bogus argument created by liberals tired of being branded "unpatriotic" by conservatives. Tenchusatsu

Al, re:Questioning the motives and actions of your elected officials is not only a freedom, it is a duty. Up to the point of threatening violence or over throw of the government. Probably more now with the Patriot act. re: The word game on yelling fire in the presence of fire was meant to illustrate that point by analogy. Very poor analogy, it does not support unlimited free speech in any way. re:A subtlety you must have missed. There was nothing suggestive in your remarks to indicate yelling fire was related to unfettered political free speech. re:Resorting to insults was your initiative...not mine. I suppose calling me easy and lazy is how you talk to all the girls?
