Someday that government might decide it doesn't like your speech

You continue to confuse blasphemous insults with speech. It is not, -- it is an affront to decency, nothing more. When the French government protects the newspaper that brutalizes a minority, that is exactly what totalitarianism is about.

Can the constitutional system in the US devolve into totalitarianism? It is doing so already. While Larry Flint's operation thrives under the government protection, Christian crosses are rapidly disappearing from our public space. Pretty soon pulbic religious speech will be stamped out completely, and the government is not in need of censorship to get there.

Of course it is. Don't be absurd.
