Sure, free speech is a nice idea, but there’s something at stake here, just as it was in Denver: the big, safe, happy American Family that Barack and Michelle want to make for us, if we help them. That American Family is about Unity, not dissent; about Victories over those that threaten America (from the outside or inside); about pride and loyalty to the factory jobs we are blessed with; about our own clean, strong families (can you believe those beautiful girls!); and about Our Faith.
Now, those scruffy protesters we saw in the video aren’t exactly a part of Our American Family, are they? Employed? Even students? Supporting the troops? Loving wives and husbands? Hmmmmm.
Should they really be allowed to try to tear down the Family that Michelle and Barack are making for us? Think about it. I know Joan is.
