I should have put a sarcasm tag but I thought it was obvious.

It's easy to get burned by that. Trouble is, the leftist crowd loves to cry "censorship" and "first amendment" when people disagree with them. Some folks seem to think that freedom of speech means a) you're guaranteed a platform from which to speak and b) noone may disagree with you. Try objecting to the homos and the abortionists for an example. See how long it takes for them to start ranting "anti-choice homophobe" at you...

I was thinking about where the first amendment meets with aiding and comforting the enemy. That line is certainly not a fixed point and it moves quite a bit during war time. It's also not a line but a fuzzy gray area. Sure you can compliment the wrong raghead or criticizae the wrong war plan and get fired from NBC but you are still a free man. But what would constitute giving comfort to the enemy and get you in real trouble right now?.

BTW sorry about the confusion earlier. I know that as a freeper you'd fight for my right to hate suv's and me for your right to love them. We all know what opinions are like.
