I'm standing for free speech, not some group of religious zealots trying to remove a show, because they don't agree with it.

Free speech is tough, you gotta stick up for stuff you don't like from time to time, but it sure as hell beats the alternative, ask the burka clad women in Afghanistan.

You say - Free speech is tough, you gotta stick up for stuff you don't like from time to time, but it sure as hell beats the alternative, ask the burka clad women in Afghanistan.

I say - I will never stick up for 'stuff' that decays the moral fabric. You live in fear because you've been duped. "If we don't allow this, I'll be robbed of that". They sure got you!!

Whatever 'free speech' they throw your way, you accept. You seem to have no parameters, you live in a 'whatever' world.

Why do you protest so much? All you are missing is a re-run where you got a few laughs and witnessing a group that have taken a stand against slime, desecration and immorality. TV feeds off of shock value and keep pushing the envelope and there are enough people that need to be entertained and that keeps their 'pushers' laughing all the way to the bank. It's an easier path to not resist anything, just be submissive for entertainment sake to those who want to make a buck because they gave you a few laughs. It takes integrity and strong character to stand up against the worldly moguls who contribute to the moral decay of our country.

No one wouldn't have any speech, much less free speech without the grace of God. He gives us a free will and we are accountable for our choices. Should one do 'whatever they want’ because of their free will' and should one make right choices with their free will to take a stand and oppose those that run amok with their no parameter belief - in 'whatever the traffic will bear' mentality.

You may not feel you will be held accountable for your choices, your words, your deeds because of your beliefs but others know differently. And when the time comes, you can't plead ignorance. When it comes to truth, there really isn't a gray area. Right is right and wrong is wrong but this country, at the hands of 'no beliefs, free speech crowd', has slowly been twisting the right into wrong and the wrong into right with each push of the envelope for ....entertainment? money? evil to overtake good? It's in our schools, i.e.,sex education, condoms/abortion, on TV shows/commercials, in magazines.

What 'FREE SPEECH' bothers the 'free speech' and 'unbelief crowd'? The name of Jesus and 'Christ'mas. We are told "It may intimidate someone because of their belief". LOL Now, there's your laugh you feel deprived of. Why are they so intimidated by it? WHY are those self-righteous under the veil of so-called free speech, no belief crowd pushing their unbelief on me through the airwaves that don't belong to them exclusively? The 'free will/free speech' road of choice leads one into one's own destiny - it's a place where goodness and evil are forever separated. So in the end, goodness gets what goodness sought and fought after (you call them religious zealots) and evil gets what evil dished out. Each will get what each has sown.


All the words, the darts thrown out by the free will/free speech crowd to TRY to intimidate their opposition, i.e. those 'religious zealots', 'don't force your beliefs on me mantra' (when they do the same w/every vehicle they can), 'the turn the channel mantra' are so laughable when one considers the source and that source is intimidated by the name of Jesus, 'Christ'mas, prayer. Truly the line has been drawn - the Christ crowd and the anti-Christ crowd. The Christ crowd are never intimidated because it's in their belief system not to be - "The Truth will set you free" and that includes intimidation. That's a secret those will little or no belief just don't get because 'The Truth' isn't in them.

'Every knee will bow at the name of Jesus' - we may loose a few battles but we have already won the war against good vs. evil for 'It is Written'.

You get your laughs from watching push the envelope so-called ‘free speech’, I get my laughs from your ‘TRY’ at intimidation. So if you want to post a few laughs, have your best ‘TRY’.
