“The public’s appetite for punishing attempts at candor gone wrong, drunken rants, or even private statements made in anger or frustration seems to be growing at an alarming rate,”

I'm on the side of severely punishing even isolated incidents, if the incidents are bad enough. I have boycotted GM since their criminally corrupt bankruptcy and will continue the boycott forever, cheering all bad news for GM and encouraging everyone I know not to buy GM. The same is true for TARP banks, companies that ban firearms on their property or donate to traitors (such as Obama), and others on the opposite side in the war over America's future.

On the flip side, I've eaten more Chik-fil-A in the year since the far left fringe tried to boycott them than in the previous decades. This could easily be the final battle over whether America will remain a free country, and I will not do anything that helps our enemies. I will hold those on Obama's side personally and professionally responsible for taking their anti-freedom positions.

I’m not for punishing any form of speech that doesn’t directly incite harm.
