Jul 2016

And when people began commenting (because the OP posted the article with no comment) negatively with replies such as "fuck them!", I brought up the Constitution and the 1st Amendment.

And I never claimed that anyone was calling for anyone's arrest over this. But I find it ironic how people who have adopted the "Progressive Democrat" label for themselves are so damn eager to put others down for exercising their 1st Amendment right. Is this the new definition of what a "Progressive Democrat now is? Cause it sounds pretty GOP to me.
