Sorry FRiend, we won’t win the battle by abandoning everything we stood for in the first place. The First Ammendment says what it says. It protects you and me every bit as much as it protects the Westboro thugs, which is as it should be.

So you and the right acquiesce to hate-speech legislation, etc.

But you uphold the right of the Westboro people to protest at religious ceremonies.

That's not principled observation of the First Amendment. That is just cowardice on the part of the right.

Left has might, right has none. Left is brave, right is cowardly.

That is why we are in the mess we are in.
