Dear Religion Moderator,

"Excessive censorship of speech called 'political correctness' is a liberal phenomenon, not a conservative one."

Failure to enforce standards of basic courtesy towards one's guests in one's own home (and FR has often been called "Jim Robinson's living room) is a liberal phenomenon, not a conservative one.

The covering up of ugly, insulting, demeaning behavior under the white cloth of "freedom of speech" is a liberal vice, not a conservative virtue. It has been used by the likes of Larry Flynt, various other pornographers, folks who peddle flesh, and other purveyors of filth.

“A person can't yell ‘fire’ in a crowded theater or libel or slander others without consequence,...”

The failure here is the lack of recognition that this is precisely what is promoted in the “Open [Sewer]” threads.
