Mike is right on . I was starting to get a little concerned with some of your blog comments. If you say it in the blog, pretty soon it will be easy to express political sentiments/convictions to people in the village and that goes to a very bad place. Although not an easy thing to do given the daily frustrations in your environment, you and Emily absolutely need to self censor any political feelings or commentary. You will lose none of your humanity if you do so, but have lots to lose if you dont. I have followed that guidance for many years, albeit in a little less threatening context, and it has kept me out of trouble.
