Week, to Leftists at least, Free Speech endangers the flow of Free Stuff - which is far more important to their constituents.

Afro-Americans have always been champions of free speech. Elon Musk is carrying on that tradition...

What guarantees ehr right to write and publish an article against free speech? Her right to free speech. Too complicated for simplistic “minds” like hers.

Just a rephrasing of the old communist claim that freedom of speech is a “bourgeois conceit.”

Thanks for the link. That guy said almost exactly what I said except better.

Nothing’s new. It’s funny, sometimes I’ll have an “original thought” and say something only to find out some Italian dude figured out the same thing in the 1400’s.

The question is, will anyone actually defend the Constitution?

I think that was answered definitively on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

And if you told her to shut her mouth what do you think her reaction would be?

“Alter denounces free speech as basically a white man’s “obsession.”

“Obsession”... not nearly as much as with the 2nd Amendment, white woman.

Free speech isn’t allowed in China or Russia. But they are saying it’s the pot calling the kettle black.

A Russian explained to me that there most certainly is freedom of speech in China and Russia. Often, however, there is no freedom after speech.

To make her case, Charlotte Alter presents no broad statistical survey of Americans' opinions, but rather quotes the opinions of other radicals.
