Not only are your(discostu) posts becoming more inane (and shrill), they are actually obtuse.

Disco welcome to the world of Libertarianism on FR. Kinda of a like a mix of 75% of ACLU and 25% of William Buckley.

I'm not sure I'd call it libertarianism. But there is a growing number of people who think every time their ability to be heard is impeded it must be a First Ammendment violation. We saw it after 9-11 when editorialists got fired, we saw it when Bill Mahrer lost sponsors for saying the terrorists were brave, we saw it when the Dixie Chicks got boycotted for saying they were ashamed of President Bush. And we see it when people waving protest signs at presidential motorcades get shoved down the block. Everybody claims First Ammendment when ever their speech is annoyed (or annoying). My horn was broken on my car a few months ago and when I took it to the mechanic I made fun of these people by demanding he restore my First Ammendment rights and fix my horn, we laughed.

Hey! The saviors of authoritarianism have arrived!

Just get out? Haven't seen you stumbling around here for a while.

BTW, even though you have an obsession about Libertarians, who are you referring to with your comment? Me? Freeee?
