Here's what I believe. The 1st Amendment as well as the Constitution has been distorted beyond recognition away from the original intent of their authors. Free speech in a free society does not necessarily mean that any stupid, evil or destructive word should be spoken in assaulting the character of others. Free speech in it's literal interpretation is NOT in the Bible -- it is not a God-given right as a matter of equality spiritually. God calls us more to keep our mouths shut when it comes to impurity and foolishness, and to speak when we have something worthwhile to say.

Getting credit as being honorable for exercising your right under the 1st Amendment when your words are devisive & actually spoken as a Traitor to this country is irrational.

Daschle is proof of the old saying: Better to keep silent and make others wonder if you're stupid than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
