ReplyDeleteIt's not so much about Free speech as it is the good sense to keep your mouth shut. There is noting credible about beliefs and opinions. Go tell it on the Mountain.

ReplyDeleteBlack Lives Matter should not only be criticized, it should be outlawed. they are a front for the DNC fund raising and a terrorist group.

ReplyDeleteGen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Ozzy said it best.
DeleteYou should of stood your ground, Moulton!
