As an independent, I do not trust most of our elected officials, who I think should ALL be re-named Public Servants, so they are reminder just who they are supposed to be working for EVERY time we address them in person or though the variety of other communication forms available to us. Now it has just gotten worse. It was bad enough when Maxine Waters urged her Democratic base to harass members of the other party, or anyone who supports President Trump. Her actions, inciting harassment and possibly violence against anyone who does not share her and her constituents beliefs was, I believe, enough to get her in some real serious trouble with the law. Nothing happened after her thoughtless and possibly illegal remarks. Now one might argue that she has the right of free speech, so she can continue to urge people on the left to harass those on the right. But freedom of speech comes with unwritten responsibility as well. That is why you WILL get in trouble if you yell,”fire” in a crowded theater when no fire is present and you WILL be contacted by authorities, if you threaten the life of an elected official, perhaps as well, anyone you so threaten. Where the Democrats urging this type of behavior: shout them down, harass don’t allow them to speak on the campus where you attend college and intimidate anyone that holds views different than they do, are so off base, is that people do have the right to express their views on subjects. If they express viewpoints you do not agree with, just get over it! Because in this country, luckily, one STILL can express the viewpoints they hold and are protected in doing so by the highest law in this country, the U.S. Constitution. No matter what Maxine Waters and others of this ilk urge their constituents to do. And in closing I never really thought anyone would follow Waters urging. But right here in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Review columnist, radio show and TV show host, Wayne Allen Root, wrote in his column in today’s (Sunday) column, that he was called by a phone worker from the Jackie Rosen (D) for Senate campaign. When Root explained who he was, the caller said: “Oh that’s great, We’re going to call you 100 times a day, We’re going to make your life miserable.” Someone did call 13 times in a row… and then at midnight 12 more times… the next day more calls. Root only got them to stop calling when he urged his listeners/viewers to call Rosen’s office asking them to stop the calls.. So many of his audience called to complain, that Rosen’s phone was disconnected. The calls to Root finally ceased. But no apology from Rosen’s office ever came. Rosen’s communication director said the call did not come from their office and they do not condone harassment. When Root called the number the harassing calls had come from – it took him straight to a message saying you have reached the office of Jackie Rosen for U.S. Senate. Root is dropping the matter. But it is clear that the urging by elected officials like Waters, does cause some to think that freedom of speech is for some only. THAT blankets the Democratic party as supporting such nonsense and may be a factor in their possible losses this November. Free speech is a right of all people in this world, even when one does not agree with what someone else is saying!
