Say what you will about Bush.

But calling this bravery? That’s rich.
Criticizing a largely unpopular president late in a lame duck administration is more akin to a cheap shot, or piling on, which is where several players jump on the ball carrier after he’s been stopped, a 15 yard penalty.

This of course is a lot of fun, but brave? Nope.

Since you didn’t pay sufficient attention on the schoolyard or in 12 years civics and/or history classes, Ya gonna hafta get schooled, dude-zilla:

Criticism of the government and promoting unpopular or distasteful ideas, even against public policy, such as racism, are permitted AND protected in the US. Freedom of speech,in all forms is protected by the first amendment to the constitution and by many state constitutions as well as state and federal laws.

That print is by Andrew Holder. Yeah he’s pretty awesome.
