Come on, Steve...you know that's not true. They're not supporting Ward Churchill or specifically, the essay that he wrote - they're supporting the protection of speech, free speech, regardless of the political persuasion of the proponent.

You apparently are blind to our (the U.S.) involvement in things that aren't always on the up-and-up. Personally, I think it's more than un-American not to be aware and to speak about it than to ignore it completely and/or deny it. It traitorous and it speaks to the lack of knowledge about our country's founding and core values.

I find it amazing Kitt that you know, that I know, I am lying to myself. Are you a Psychic? This is what I do know.

Churchill's free speech seems to be the only speech the liberals are interested in protecting. The whole issue is political. His words are disgusting to more than half of his employers(Taxpayers) and this foul being should be cut loose to inflict himself on the private sector. There has to be some scumbag liberal college that will scarf him up, just because of his anti-American hate-essay.

Personally, I find your liberal ideas of what our country's founding principles and core values are different than my conservative ideas. Just because you interpret something to mean something, doesn’t mean you are right. There is nothing more un-American than voting for a Traitor and being on the un-American side of every issue like the Democrats have been lately. The Democrat Party of JFK and Humphrey is dead. It is now lead by people and ideas, those two great men would find repulsive. Jack would be telling Ted to grow up and shut up. The true spirit of Kennedy's, "Ask Not!" speech is only heard and taken to heart by Neocon's now!

The only blindness I see is yours. You are blind to the damage the Democrat Party's constant nit picking is doing to our country. Liberals complete inability to let anything go and/or cooperate with conservatives is dividing America in ways that may never be repaired. You Liberals are children still throwing your tantrum.

As an example My State Legislature, both houses, had a referendum to honor Ronald Reagan for his public service. This is a typical thing done to honor Presidents that have died in the previous year. It has always been done in the past without any dissent. This time was different, the Democrats just had to get up and denounce a dead man. How pathetic of them? Of course Liberals were proud of them for their bravery, while the rest of us were disgusted by their childish self-centeredness. When Carter or Clinton die, you will hear nothing but praise for them from both sides of the aisle. Not because they were good presidents(neither was even adequate), but because good people don’t speak ill of the dead.

Jefferson NEVER said, "Dissent is the highest form of Patriotism". The only place I have ever seen that quote is on liberal blogs. He did say, "Political dissention is doubtless a less evil than the lethargy of despotism, but still it is a great evil, and it would be as worthy the efforts of the patriot as of the philosopher, to exclude its influence, if possible, from social life."

Kitt, as much as you THINK you have the moral high ground on these issues, you don’t even come close. Conservatives are better people than Liberals in every category.(A new post soon) Liberal’s idea of the core values and founding principles don’t not represent the real values and principles held by our founders. Liberals hold "Dissent" in higher esteem than"God". Jefferson the most often referred to founder by liberals has a huge(2,700 item) library of quotes on the web. In searches of that library, Dissent is mentioned twice and God is mentioned 44 times. Seems God was more important to Jefferson than dissent was and more than you want to admit!
