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.
