5. I love Bob, but didn't like his speech

I don't like F-bombs in a public forum. It's vulgar, and saying STFU -- while in itself an expression of free speech -- during an event in defense of the First Amendment is telling someone not to exercise their freedom of speech. Lies should be met with eloquent, powerful truth.

And saying you don't love your country will likely be turned into a weapon against us by those who are destroying our country.

I grew up during the Vietnam War and remember what was said against those who were protesting it:

America, love it or leave it.

I say America, love it and make it better.
