You are scary, man.
The First Amendment is really only necessary to protect unpopular speech. When we stop protecting fringe or radical speech, we really don’t have “free” speech any longer — only popular opinions can be voiced.
Free speech is regulated all the time, in terms of “time, place, manner.” If “time, place, manner” doesn’t apply to funerals for our deceased heroes, I don’t know what does.
Agreed. But I think that the point of debate here is the forum for unpopular speech. While I err on the side of hesitating to allowing government restrictions on unpopular speech presentation (e.g., President Bush's restricting protests to specific that are out of the public eye), there is something to be said for the argument that the forum in question here is really the disruption of a private ceremony/harassment.
When common courtesy becomes an uncommon virtue than uncommonly harsh actions get taken to remind the degenerate scum that there’s reasons to behave and repercussions when that is forgotten.
The really scary part is how many have fallen for the juvenile and intellectually inbred bullsh** that the leftardic rantochanting morons have used to twist our freedoms so out of shape as to render them meaningless.
