It appears Romney doesn't even know what the First Amendment says...

In his interview with George Snuffleupagus, he made this statement in regard to the film which (supposedly) sparked the riots in North Africa...

“Of course, we have a First Amendment, and under the First Amendment, people are allowed to do what they feel they want to do,” he said. “They have the right to do that, but it’s not right to do things that are of the nature of what was done by, apparently this film.”

Really, Mitt? "...under the First Amendment, people are allowed to do what they feel they want to do."? I understand that you have a right to free speech, but I'm not so sure about that "doing what you want to do" part. That, to me, sounds more like anarchy.

1. Except in the Bush era when it was "watch what you say".

4. That is a 5th grader's understanding of the First Amendment.

Jeez, that is pathetic. He doesn't understand it applies to Government restriction of free speech, apparently.

5. That IS anarcny, and maybe worse.

I've made the distinction for a long time, since I was a KID: We live in a free country, we are free to do whatever we want. The IMPORTANT distinction is between what we 'want' to do and what we SHOULD do!

6. Woot!

Now I am free to do what I want to do now, finally! After all of these years I am finally free to not vote for you - Mitt

7. I seriously doubt he's ever read The Constitution. I do frequently.

8. Unless it involves your uterus.

Then a group of old men get to make that decision for you.

10. I have the feeling 'graduated' has different meaning for the elite

And we cannot really trust these 'top schools' anymore can we.

Condi was teaching Russian History at Stanford before she helped get us into Afghanistan.

Stanford just released the 'study' telling us that Organic wasn't better.

When the DUches go all in like this on a terrible democrat party fail, you know they are scared to death.

For lurkers, say it with me President Romney, Speaker Boehner, Senate Majority Leader McConnell.

I think we are in stage 2 of loss, denial.
