Cliven Bundy & Free Speech
Poor old Cliven Bundy!
He had a good thing going with his opposition to big government in-your-face, and then he got a little carried away with his new found notoriety and exercised his right to free speech on other topics. What he has learned the hard way is: If you are a white non-progressive conservative man when you talk about race, gays, women's rights, and abortion you are dancing on eggs, and better speak accordingly else you will be eviscerated by the progressive liberals, main stream news media, and pocket Republicans.
Free speech has its limits.
ADDENDUM (24 hours later):
Donald Sterling, owner of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers, stepped in "IT" when he exercised his right to free speech by his remarks about race.
If you are a white man you cannot speak freely about race topics without running the risk of severe consequences. If you are a black man, you can speak freely using the dreaded "N" word at will with no consequences.
Do we live in a great country, or what?
