That worries me because my own people came here in 1620. although that seems to be the Mayflower date. But I claim. anyhow. having gotten in earlier. Hence. the gentleman is only an immigrant. So I should like to ask him a question. Does he not think it better that we retain our democratic processes and political democracy. and fight communism and fascism that way rather than by attacking fascism and communism through the stoppage of free speech? We hear a lot about "Americanism" and the Constitutionthese consist in following our essential traditions of freedom. To do otherwise is not true Americanism. to deny free speech is to violate the Bill of Rights. which is an integral part of our Constitution.
