'Waitress Moms,' 'Walmart Moms' and Undecided Voters Both parties agree that the 2012 presidential election is going down to the wire.

And again today, President Trump has tweeted criticism of the Mayor of London. Later, a double murder in Portland, Oregon has revealed the ugly past of a supposedly “progressive” city. One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
