Hypersensitive Government

Making disparaging statements against/disagreeing with government policies is a right granted all citizens under the constitution.  The current administration, as have several in the past, over-reacts to heartfelt comments/remarks of disagreements with government expressed by loyal citizens.  True, threats against public officials are not acceptable and deserve attention; but, threats are different than disagreements with political views or policies.  Citizens, in fact, have an obligation to voice legitimate disagreements.  Here is an example of government, in this case the Secret Service, over-reaction to a private citizen's right to disagree with current government policies.
