many individuals have the right to free speech, but do not have the right to free speech with a press? ALL have the God-given inalienable right to free speech. Just not with a press (the term broadly including pen, movable type, printer, modem, TV, radio, internet, etc.).Free speech with mechanical assistance is a right that WE protect -- WE decide who may use a "press", what kind may be used, and under what circumstances it may be used. And that include everything from a pencil to satellite TV to blogging.
Your right to free speech does not include the right to speak on The McLaughlin Group, that is correct. Not without his permission.
