Would somebody please read this to those on the far extremes of all of our political parties. Please?

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it.”

Free speech is not only the most patriotic duty of all, but it is essential to the survival of our Union, and it is the only thing that has saved us from the consequences of the two-party system."

Thank you.
