I think pretty much everyone does keep that in mind, otherwise we'd be trying them for treason. Someone could say they believe stealing is okay, I could argue with them, tell them why it's wrong, and they could be wrong. But I'm not gonna punch them or have them arrested because they say that. The problem is these people that do have influence to actually restrict those rights, if not flat out take them away, saying "it's gonna happen" is where we have problems. Not that they want it, but that they are trying to make it happen. Carney is a noob.
Ok, I agree with the general remark of protecting the first amendment, but is in extremely poor taste for the prez and Carney to come the defense of PM. When is the last time Obama came to the defense of someone that was ferociously attacked by the left? Uh never, but it happens all of the time.
-people tweeting that NRA members should be shot
-Bill Maher calling Sarah Palin a c**t
-letting people claim that Romney (during his Bain Capital days) was responsible for a woman dying of cancer
-daily disgusting attacks on Christianity by the msm
Why hasn't he told these folks to chill out because the secession petitioners were just exercising their first amendment rights?
Is this part of the anti-bullying campaign? But it only protects those on the left when they start getting pushed around by the same tactics they use against the right
Do not attempt that argument with anyone on the left. They will immediately start with "oh, the poor white man is getting oppressed by minorities blah blah blah."
Apparently it IS ok to threaten and lie about a group of people so long as they are not black, Hispanic, Cuban, poor, or liberal.
