Good to see that somebody is injecting some good old American Common Sense into editorial matters:

The rubbish I think on a daily basis, should deserve the same condemnation.

American’s I think need to realize what we have and not take it for granted. Remember I wore a Military Uniform for 20 years. We have the Constitution for a reason.

We did an exercise in leadership school. We were asked if we believe the Westboro Baptist Church had a right to free speech. Do you agree or disagree?

Well I was the only one that agreed. Why, because when you stop free speech from anyone you stop it from all. (Do I agree with their rhetoric, absolutely 100% not!!!) I however agree that they have the right to assemble and have free speech. Whether it is a difference of opinion or not we have the right to not believe in their beliefs, but have to fight for their right to speak. You may be next if you do not. Please do not take the First Amendment for granted.

Yep, protected every bit of that! The reason is, is because what you have to say next, may be censored. Let me reiterate I do not accept it.

(Do not flag what Raven posted!) ( Let what true Freedom of Speech is!)

Hate having to use the ignore feature, but I think I will. Speaking for myself, I think I’m done with some of the BS.

“Protecting” who from what ? Censorship has no redeeming narrative (as you yourself staunchly opine)

Actually it does. Think of it this way. You do not like what they have to say. Granted you have the right to look away and their numbers dwindle.

You say something that is controversial and get flagged like you did. I still support you for posting what you posted and looked the other way. That makes free speech great. You have the chance to look away when you need to and not let the movement gain ground. You took the chance to prove me wrong and failed in my opinion. But remember I am staunchly opine.
