All of the above may be true, but I support the right to free speech. Even for morons.

The people can be trusted to understand the ideas and to get what they deserve.

In this era of such effective propaganda manipulation;
hiding of the truth; poor education; scarce critical thinking; poor literacy; poor discernment . . .

and where, more than ever,

MEGABUCKS = MEGAPOWER in the market place of ideas and philosophies,

I think your stance may be overly naive.

I also believe that the rules for someone deliberately and consciously trying to destroy our government, our way of life, our culture--those rules ought to be a bit different for such enemies--truly of the people.

Or do you also think that Jihadi's need to have extensive protection accorded to all others who are committed to living under our Constitution and supporting it?

i think the Constitutional issues are serious and tricky.

SO IS SURVIVAL.
