The exact problem I am seeing rise up across the nation. It is no longer the old idea of Democrat or Republican but rather the more extreme (Socialist) factions rising up into power.

Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of word processors and one is bound to create a Shakespearean play (I decided to update that old adage). In other words The Silliest Member of Congress has said something wise. Not a threat. Simply true. Every freedom comes with responsibility. In other words, words have consequences. I offend people daily with my words. I am likely offending someone with these, and I am prepared to take the consequences. Now, the question is, Is she prepared for the consequences of her own words?

I agree, a very wise statement. But taken in context and applying the tone that I understood it to be said in it was not Ben Franklin saying it, it was a threat of force if you don't say what I want to hear. So yes, say what you want but realize we will enforce the consequences if we don't like what you are saying. From the Quara answer: "This isn’t about left vs right, it’s about tribal thuggery vs freedom."

It is profound, yes. However, the "consequences" have been utter suppression of speaking out. Wrong consequences!
