Will criticizing politicians on social media affect my US visa status?

Well I seem to remember a class in law school that outlined civil actions for defamation and slander which has now risen to the level of “you have offended me”. That was my point about protected class. I don’t really want to get into a legal argument now...that’s why I retired from the practice. Take my post for what it’s worth. I am having too much fun tonight.

So many of our different nations have identically worded constitutions and they read so beautifully. Ours was written by slave owners. Russia’s constitution was copied from ours. In the US, political correctness has created a chilling effect on free speech in both the private sector as well as the public sector. People are fired and demoted for their comments if they are not a member of a “protected class”. That basically refers to a minority, a person of a non-mainstream sexual orientation or someone other than a white male. This originally well intended affirmative action philosophy has basically circumvented the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause. And before you slam me go what I intend to be just an observational, please understand that I have in my mind the many poor white families throughout the US who are suffering so much but do not fall within a “protected class” and therefore do not receive the benefits and protections that they do desperately need. This is just my observation and it makes me so sad.

Steven pointed out 2 different things, freedom of speech vs what is written in a county constitution. Countries just like they do with religion have different application of the laws.

No most countries do not have freedom of speech. Even a country like Singapore have censorship.

Steven de Blaquiere they don’t have that anymore apparently. I’m US citizen, but I avoid posting anything against him. My angry generation in USA, UK, France, few other places, got to die off. As Springsteen said in a song, “foreman said these jobs ain’t coming back.”

Steven de Blaquiere what you feel about Trump is up to you I think he’s doing a GREAT job and all you haters should shut up and let him do it I left the States 8 years ago and not living there and listening to everybody from outside the box is amazing how stupid some people are 15 years ago if people said the things that there saying about America’s President then the Secret Service would be knocking on your door and that’s a fact if you truly love America then let the man work

It’s like we have no choice which country we are born in and that we as individuals really have no choice as to who our so called leaders are, but we do have a choice as to what we think and what we believe in and how we can best make friends from all around the world. We greatly outnumber those that “rule” us. Let’s all just stick together and chill like Ghandi and we will surely survive the insanity my man. That’s what I think !

No problem my man. I hear you. Please forgive our political system and come meet our people and see our country. Let’s keep in touch and I’ll give you some ideas on my favorite places to visit.

@Steven **************

Dude, please reapply. It’s a great place. I myself bailed out to Thailand but I still love the US. Nice place to visit but I just decided not to live there.

We will all survive this insanity if we stick together.

Definitely no offense taken my friend. I am agreeing with you that everything we say is gonna be read by some government somewhere and could come back to bite us on the butt one day. Your post scared me...I’m gonna quit all trash talking.
