Speech in favour (or against) some government policy or proposed policy is most definite protected by the first amendment.
The freedom of speech in the First Amendment is the protection from government retaliation on Citizens for speaking out against policy that is enacted or elected officials. Simply put...the government can't throw you in jail for protesting or speaking out against the health car act or telling an elected official that they're wrong in what they're doing.
To put it another way...the King can't throw you in jail simply for pointing out to him that he has no clothes on.

Political activism is not freedom of speech...it's political activism.
Freedom of speech is the counter to enacted legislation derived from political activism.

Sir, your post is complete and utter nonsense, from beginning to end.

You should be embarrassed to have posted it.
