			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is with the disruption (sometimes violent) of the health care congressional town halls? What&#8217;s with all of the yelling and screaming by people who think they have a right to shout down anybody who disagrees with them? I could have sworn the First Amendment (free speech ring a bell anyone?) was to protect the right of people to present and discuss (like reasonable human beings) issues and concerns common to our citizens.</p>
<p>Anyone ever been to a farm where they raise turkeys?  (yes, I mean the kind you eat on Thanksgiving)</p>
<p>When something, a noise, flash of lightning, etc., disturbs a billion turkeys crammed together in metal sheds, the noise can be terrifying. Imagine Giants Stadium with everyone on PCP.</p>
<p>This is how people have been shouting down the speakers at these town hall meetings.<br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yX4F_cb9AXk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yX4F_cb9AXk&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> </p>
<p>WTF? Did someone pass a law that it&#8217;s OK to act like a complete ass to make sure someone who&#8217;s point of view is different from yours doesn&#8217;t get heard?  Oh yeah, I forgot. A LOT of things have changed regarding the Constitution in the past eight years.</p>
<p>So the newest revision of the First Amendment must be Freedom of Speech for the Red(necks), White(skinned), and Blue(blooded).</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
On a side note, some jerk is trying to have some kind of twisted celebration of the Hiroshima/Nagasaki anniversaries. He&#8217;s touting some kind of advertising consultancy guaranteed to &#8220;Drop an Atom Bomb&#8221; on your competition.  (Hmmmm&#8230; interesting that the name of his company contains the word &#8216;patriot.&#8217;</p>
