The British don't seem to understand what individual liberty is all about. We fought a war with them over this issue, if memory serves.
Atheists, Democrats, and gays are voting their judgment of the content of Buell's speech, with no regard for his rights as an individual. This "results-oriented politics" brought us Obama, and threatens to bring us to a blood-and-flames civil war.

Public Opinion Supports Anti-Gay Florida Teacher: Surprised? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Last week, we asked SodaHeads if they thought Jerry Buell, a well-liked Florida teacher, should have been suspended for posting anti-gay remarks on his Facebook.
For those of you who missed out on the original story, here's an excerpt:
SodaHeads responded en masse and decided Buell's Facebook page is his own business -- he should not be suspended for his statements.
But wouldn't it be great to see just who's voting for what? Were homosexuals more likely to oppose Buell? What are they saying in merry old England? How does religion correlate with the issue?
Luckily, SodaHead is equipped to find out. So let's dive deeper and see what we find.

For those of you who missed out on the original story, here's an excerpt:
Buell was Teacher of the Year at Mount Dora High School in Lake County, Florida. But now he's been reassigned pending an investigation into whether saying he "almost threw up" at the thought of same-sex marriage -- which he calls a sin -- on Facebook violates the district's code of conduct.
Buell argues that the posts were made on his own computer on his personal time, and that it "wasn't out of hatred. It was about the way I interpret things," according to The Orlando Sentinel.
Florida school districts have adopted social media policies designed to address these thorny issues, stressing that "employees should remain professional in using the communication at all times."
SodaHeads responded en masse and decided Buell's Facebook page is his own business -- he should not be suspended for his statements.
But wouldn't it be great to see just who's voting for what? Were homosexuals more likely to oppose Buell? What are they saying in merry old England? How does religion correlate with the issue?

*You're.
Anyway, again, fighting for equality, is contributing to destruction of this nation? Your hatred and vitriol is choking off our people, you and your attitude is the cause of more chaos than any gay person.
And actually, they do talk to me, considering I'm only 13. Kind of illegal to kick me out just yet.
And if they did, I'd leave. It'd be better for me anyway.
I've probably been through more of an emotional hell than you've ever been through in your life.
You're just some guy hiding behind the computer so he can make excuses as to why he's making disgusting and inappropriate comments towards a teenager. Face it, you are a coward, you use the internet for it's anonymity because no DECENT person would act like you do. What do you brag about this to your friends?
"Yeah, I told a 13 year old bisexual that her parents should be beating her up"-what does that make you proud? I don't get how you can have any purpose in life when you act like that. You are no better than a schoolyard bully.
I don't know why you're allowed on the internet, because from that post, I've finally confirmed that you're certifiably insane.
And you are the one talking about morality?
Your hatred (and to an extent, lack of morality because you like beating your kids and torturing gays) is breeding this country sicker more than anything else.
I don't get how you think that child abuse ISN'T sick.
You are a horrible person, and I HIGHLY doubt that god would let you into his kingdom from the way you've treated people.
Why should I, or anyone like that veteran have to hide what the world needs most...love?
Oh, and you need to begin reading the four gospel accounts of Jesus until it is firmly implanted into your mind, then you will know all about the Word according to the New Covenant of Christ, not the Old one according to the law given to Moses. which was done away with two thousands years ago. ..
How soon you forget the second greatest commandment that Christ tells us to observe as well as the to forgive others their trespasses that God would forgive ours.
You've have been going at this post for days trying to get a rise out of me and this is the last. Pity you don't pay as much attention to the words of Jesus Christ.
Enjoy your SH activity.
