Cville Eye, Stalin would have hated my record collection, especially my Shostakovich discs. Thanks for the response, but your description of my views is pure presumption, I’m sorry to say. Of course our rights should not depend on who’s in power. (Once in a while I actually agree with our almost-cut-my-hair — don’t do it, Rob! — host. Perriello had no legal right to keep signs out of his town halls, but I don’t think he was trying to curtail your free speech. He wasn’t thinking about the law. He was just trying to keep you and your angry friends off of Fox News at his expense. A hater of the Constitution? Or just a smart politician? Think about it and decide. Never mind. It’s ten to one you’ve already decided that Democrats are bums, and that decides it.

Me, I like anyone with a strong point of view who’d rather understand his opponent’s view than fantasize about and mock it.

@ken Rights in this country do not depend upon who wins or loses and election. “Mama_Fluco,I agree that Perriello’s ban was unlawful…” Stop there. There is no “but.” What are they teaching you people in school these days? We are not talking about conservatives or liberals. What does that have to do with the Bill of Rights? “Congress shall make no laws…” I gues they need to add “Congressman shall make no rules…” Your attitude disgusts me more than if you said you did not believe in freedom of speech. Unfortunately you are typical of Americans today who are so elitists that they believe that either liberals or conservatives should enjoy the privilege of a right because of who’s in power, but not all Americans at the same time. Stalin would have loved you.

Mama_Fluco,I agree that Perriello’s ban was unlawful, but I don’t blame him for the basic impulse. After the incivil displays at town hall meeting elsewhere last summer, I don’t find it scandalous that he or the SEIU would want to prevent more of the same. Remember when Bush would screen applicants for his town hall meetings? Now that was undemocratic.

And I’m sorry if the health care legislation will cost you, but you’re not a victim, you just lost an election. Angry conservatives always seem to feel that every time liberals enact legislation, conservatives have been done an injustice. And vice-versa. The attitude is childish. It’s not your country, or the liberals’ country, it’s our country, and this is a democracy. Didn’t your mother tell you you had to share?

Ken – I love your cavalier attitude about rights. Hmmm…guessing you never actually had to defend them.

We are victims – especially starting 1/1/11 – when all the details Nancy was talking about come to light – remember we have to pass the bill to find out what’s in it. Well – our household will immediately have to cut back as I can see a 2,000+ increase in my Federal Income tax already. Believe me we are not rich.

Now, I’m doubly incensed, as Perriello has graduated from stealing my money to stealing my rights.

Mr. Peters, you are such a victim. Not even Perriello’s rescinding of the ban can break up your pity party.
