Any person's thoughts are his own. But any mayor in the United States takes exactly the same oath of office the President takes when he is sworn in. This idiot betrayed his oath, the citizens he represents, and his nation when he made that post on Facebook.

Resignation isn't nearly enough punishment for that, but that's all he will get. A century ago, he would have been tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

Do you know why that was once done?
Because hot tar scars a person for life with the burns. The feathers make the cooling tar harder to pull off, increasing the scarring. The rail, a railroad tie, was used to keep the person away, so the crowd didn't get splattered by the hot tar. It was a quick trip to the river on that rail, but never fast enough for the guy who got the tar.

A perfect reply for calling for a Presidential lynching. The only difference between the two is the guy with the tar coating usually survived, but usually wished he hadn't.

ITA with this.

Don't agree with what he said, but he is free to say what he wants. Only thing is when he said the "l" word and made a threat to the President that's a no no.

No. If you had actually read my entire post, you would have seen that I said it's his choice. As it is Obama's.

And that's just what I said.

Read my post again. This time, slowly and for comprehension. It's not a very long post.
