Free Speech Has Consequences
http://www.americanminuteman.com ^ | February 15, 2005 | Mark Outland

Posted on 02/15/2005 6:27:30 PM PST by moutland

Freedom of speech is often tinged with pain, especially when the ideas expressed are repulsive and abhorrent and plainly outside of community standards, and often, simple decency.

Maybe they work at Americanminuteman. It does seem to be their favorite source.

Berskley? Didn't they used to be a institute of higher learning?

Lawyers....never mind...some freepers are lawyers so they can't all be bad.

the neighbors should exercise their own free speech rights and plaster every lawn and house with pro-soldier and pro-American symbols

That's exactly the solution. Put flags, yellow ribbons, etc everywhere - on every house they have to pass - on every house around them - they will be gnashing their teeth - and can't do a thing about it

I am new to Free Republic, so I am not yet familiar with "protocol". I find it a great place to post commentary from my own personal blog, American Minuteman, and the BLOGGERS section seems like an appropriate place to do so, as many other bloggers do. I do not feel compelled to respond to any comments, neccesarily, but I certainly enjoy reading them. If you do not find my posts interesting or enjoyable, by all means don't click on them. Many others apparently do, and for that I am pleased. That is the beauty of this forum.
