Unfortunately, this is not a parody, it was on the national news. Freedom of speech is important issue in the USA, but some people really have a hard time with some kinds of disagreements, especially from outside. We have a group in congress trying to block, in court, the power they gave the President to start this war several months ago. At the same time another group in congress are re-naming french fries in the cafeteria to protest the French opposition to the war in the UN. This is how things work. It puzzles and frustrates us at times also.
