Will FreeRepublic Finally Stop Posts Equating Guilt or Innocence with (Females') Looks???

I devoutly hope not.

Satire is a fundamental element of free speech. Every comment that engages in politically incorrect satire strikes a blow for free speech. Have you read Jonathan Swift's, Gulliver's Travels, it is full of outrageous satire as is Voltaire's, Candide, which is exceedingly risqué and, I might add, misogynistic.

When we concede the right of any group to police speech because of their sensitivities we are at the mercy of goalposts which are ever-changing. What offends African-Americans, no matter how niggardly the justification therefore, is to give away your language. To hand the keys to political commentary to feminists is to surrender the battlefield. If women have the right to their vagina monologues to make policy we have a right to our crudity to resist it.

This is not a question of bad manners, this is a blow for freedom. It is an invitation to join Men's Lib.

Oh yeah, that's freedom. (/s)

To quote Thomas Jefferson:

I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
