Speech Police

Editor, Times-Union:

My goodness, people like Robert Orn and Larry Sexton and just a handful of others obviously have a problem with free speech. Were you ever picked on when you were little? I'm sure we all can ball our chest out. It solves nothing.

If this is the Republican party, no wonder they lost the election. Every time someone writes, you jump on them like a pack of wolves. Just because they don't agree with your warped, dated ideas. Please list in great detail how liberals are destroying this nation. And list what freedoms were taken away. Use the dictionary if needed. Oh, include sources too. That way, we can check for ourselves.

Say your peace, but why the individual attacks? Is it just a personal thing? Real men solve problems not by calling names. The purpose of the Republican party is there are purposes. You guys had your chance and did nothing. And since it's not working anymore, you have to find other means by attacking fellow citizens. The recession is not going to go away with a snap of a finger. Let alone in eight months. You must live on Mars if you believe that. Using Fox News is all you have then you're in worse shape than we thought.

These tea party clown shows do nothing to help this country. Reasons not to go to tea parties is the fact it serves no purpose. Whether you like them doesn't mean the majority should. It's all right-wing garble. I've seen them on TV. It's a disgrace the way they parade around with Hitler signs and bigotry slogans. Is this the party you're proud of joining? Because of this, many are moving away from the Republican party, according to polls. Please tell us the Republican solution for our problems. We all need a big laugh. It didn't work the last eight years and it's not working now or even in the future.

I went to that Freedom Works Web site and it was frightening. All the corporate lobbyists and money interests are right there to check out, but the blind can only see what they want. There's also a comments area on the RNC Web site to let them know what you want from your GOP. Well, I told them.

I suppose this name calling you like to do - communist. If you don't know yet, Larry, these liberals you like to down are the same ones who are fighting and dying for our country. Maybe you need to do some more book learning before you call someone a communist.

The Republicans are ruining this country. You can call me what you want, but people like me help decide your elections. And if you want to bring others along, you need to play nice. Start by pointing at your own party's faults for one. Or does that require too much thinking for a conservative? By the way, I'm rubber you're glue. God bless every American.
