She said WHAT?!

Nothing that Nancy Pelosi does should surprise me anymore. I mean, this woman is like a scary, hypnotized, teenage cheerleader when she gets near the One, but I never thought she would go this far.
I think we can all agree that our First Amendment right to free speech is one of if not THE most important right we have. It covers a lot, and inserts itself into every aspect of our lives. It covers our political speech, our right to say anything we like or dislike (ok, except for inciting a riot, etc), whether we agree with each other's opinion or not. There are a couple people I work with that are politically diametrically opposed to me and I've had political discussions with them. Never have we resorted to name calling, hostile behavior or any other sort of retribution. We also don't hold each other's opinions against the other. They're great people, and have a reason to feel the way they do, just like I do. I just don't happen to agree with them.
I've noticed, however, that slowly over the past few years our right to free speech seems to have come under fire for protecting "offensive" speech. Or rather, what others deem to be offensive. Just because it's offensive doesn't mean the person doesn't have a right to say it. Which leads me to Pelosi. I've been writing about the park51 mosque and how angry people are getting. Our out of touch politicians who are stumping for Imam Rauf seem to completely not get this argument. It is not saying no to building the mosque, its we don't want it built THERE. Not on the place where 3000 Americans from all walks of life were murdered by a group of dudes screaming they did it in the name of Islam. However, our public opposition to anything is our Constitutional right. Now Nancy Pelosi wants to investigate the people leading the charge. When called on her folly, she reiterated that funding behind the opposition groups be researched. Are you kidding me?! Lady, it's a 501(c)3 charity for the family of victims from this tragedy! I doubt Nancy Pelosi would ever have the nads to go face to face with these people, and tell them that their pain means nothing in the name of softy, Kumbayah, hand holding politics. 
I am beyond the point of hoping that our current politicians in office actually understand the Constitution, because they don't. They see it as a living document to be twisted to their needs. Our Constitution gives us these rights as endowed by our Creator, and that innumerable people have died to protect. I actually hope she does something and is slapped with a Civil Rights lawsuit, because not even Pelosi can take that away from us.
Ah Nancy... if you weren't so damn dangerous I might laugh at your cluelessness.
