To me, patriotism means taking advantage of the freedoms afforded us by the Constitution. Those freedoms include speech. I feel that by exercising that freedom, I am among the most patriotic of Americans, even--and maybe especially--if my view goes against the powers that be or the status quo.
My concern now is that Dr. Bob blocks people to keep the board safe. How many felt the least bit unsafe when Jay shared his opinion?
If this block is going to be done in the names of posters who felt unsafe, let them stand and be counted. If we are all here in support of this poster, then our safety is NOT the primary concern.
Because of this block, I feel unsafe here.
