I hate it when people who claim to be conservatives try to limit our free speech, so as not to offend someone.

Off with their heads

Self-censorship is totally different than imposed censorship. SAM is asking for self-censorship. You know, like when you don’t tell your mother-in-law that she’s a fat slob, like you’re really thinking...

There’s a whole principle with this: Not everything I have the LIBERTY of doing is wise or good to do. A free and good society depends on the people in it making not just POSSIBLE choices but GOOD choices. It’s why the Founders said that a democratic form of government could only succeed with a moral populace. Democracy doesn’t work with Islamists.

Those who wish to mock the stupidity of the society who lets the beautiful/powerful, etc get away with everything can perhaps find a way to make sure that the stupidity of it is what resounds from their posts - ridicule/humor is fine, especially when it is clear exactly what is beinq ridiculed.
