Sorry, but you're 100% WRONG. You have a right to spout whatever sophomoric bullshit your heart desires. And I have a right to call "bullshit" on it. Your freedom of speech doesn't allow you to say whatever you want without criticism from others. Democrats seem to have a very hard time with this concept. If you're the Dixie Chicks, you have a right to say whatever you want, and the people who buy your music have the right to tell you to "get fucked" and refuse to buy your music in response. That's not censorship, that's the FREE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS. The sooner the left gets away from the whole "free speech for me, but none for thee" bit, the sooner they'll stop being percieved as whiny little losers.
I'd like to point out one little thing to you. Once upon a time, there were a couple who lived in the US, and thought that "freedom of speech" and "freedom of conscience" made it OK for them to pass highly classified information to the Soviet Union, so, being good little leftists, they did so, putting the lives of all Americans in danger. They got caught. Oops. Care to wager a guess as to what happened to them? Think "gas chamber". And you know what? They deserved it, because their actions put us ALL at risk. Some leftists today need to have the same exact thing happen to them....for instance, people like these:
should have been arrested, tried for giving aid and comfort to the enemy along with sedition, and upon their conviction, they should have been executed after due process of law. Or, remember that guy who rolled the grenade into his unit's CP right before GulfwarII started? He's another candidate for an involuntary overdose.
