Two comments about aspects of GOP Convention

Hattip to a blog run by an spineless idiot, so no link.
 
 
MY COMMENT: I ask my usual question: How's that "freedom of speech" thing working for ya? Two hundred years ago, a village idiot's voice was largely limited to his village. Today, his words are around the world in under a minute. Technology has removed the natural restrictions on speech and its effect which justified the First Amendment's scope, and the 14th Amendment has removed the power of the States to deal with it.
 
 
 
MY COMMENT: I don't know about conservatives, but here's an example of something that has patriots cheering, addressing a real issue–that is, something not econo-centric: http://youtu.be/0g_-rWnWib4
 
 
And finally, this is the video I would use to start the convention of a party I ran, expressing a campaign promise for 2013: http://youtu.be/n96hCfLEcDE -- GWOT II!
