I’m sorry that you think our Constitutionally guaranteed free-speech rights prohibit individuals or groups from attempting to influence the behavior of others. (”Behavior” includes speech, btw.) This insane expansion of the meaning of “rights” is one of the big problems we have in our country today.
You have a nice day!
Where do I intone any of your points in my comments? I agree with the attempts of individuals or groups to influence behavior. What I don't agree with is deception by liberal, socialistic agenda's to coerce others into thinking they have to give up their free speech rights because others may find some words offensive. Also there is a huge problem with these same liberal activist changing the syntax and meanings of certain words in society.
GAY = Alternative Lifestyle. Abortion = Choice. Those are two I can think of immediately. Now you tell me, whether or not it's crucial to "influence" the use these words when they offend me. How is this different from the backasswards agendize push of the socialist, liberal attempts to squelch certain speech?
