They're for free speech, on foreign soil, against a sitting President, during a time of war but they're against free speech, against three idiots, on a forum, on the Internet. I'm no longer a fan of Bush because he really is stupid. WE ARE NOT A NATION OF IMMIGRANTS! I can't believe he actually got on TV and yelled at the American people. He's no Texan. The DimWhit Chicks need to get their facts straight. He's not from here [Texas], he's an immigrant. Bush is not a native Texan. He was born in Connecticut [I think it was].
