The Mayor Doesn't Understand Free Speech

It has always amazed us that so many chafe at the slightest suggestion of limiting Second Amendment rights, but regularly advocate for drastically limiting the First Amendment rights of those with whom they disagree. It's similarly alarming that many don't understand the difference between an official elected by the citizens and a private individual who may do as he or she wishes.

In case any don't understand, our president is an elected official. We may agree with him 100%...or not...but any citizen has a right to question his actions. Politicians know this comes with the territory.

A reader sent us a screen shot from the Facebook page of a Lauderdale County mayor. Our reader was also kind enough to furnish a meme to go with it.

Let's see...is this the same mayor who wasn't exactly transparent about drag racing in the Rogersville Industrial Park? The same mayor who only a few weeks ago was advocating for more open events in his small domain? Yes, we believe it was.
