What is becoming increasingly clear over time is that Ms. Polgar 
apparently has no idea of how the democratic political process works and 
the fact that we have freedom of speech in the United States.  The right 
to speak truth to power is what men and women have given their lives for 
in founding and defending this country.

To be charitable to Susie Chesspiece, her up bringing in a totalitarian 
society with an authoritarian father is probably what has led to he 
stunted political outlook.  I'm surprised she didn't suggest dousing 
Hanken's mouth with hot sauce.
