You are trying to fabricate a false and deadly "freedom" to indulge what is obviously an extremist libertarian streak in yourself.

I am fabricating nothing. I'm defending the #FirstAmendment using recent court case law.

The rest of your post seems to be an argument that we need to give up a little freedom for a little temporary safety. I reject that.

You aren't defending anything. You are in fact doing the contrary of defending the first amendment. You are damaging it by trying to claim a scope of influence it never had.

Threats to kill the President were never protected anymore than yelling "fire" in a crowded theater. It is just such calls for violence that have caused numerous left wing lunatics to actually kill people.

Incorrect. The rest of my post is pointing out that you cannot posses your idea of "freedom" and exist in a civil society. Your idea of freedom can only exist for despots or in social vacuum.

Live on an Island and rant about killing the President, but inspire fools to commit such crimes in the larger society, and you need to go to jail.
