The Limits of "Free Speech"

[BackAgain]

Yes but we need that as limited as possible. I don’t want government controlling what I can or cannot say.

It is always construed by the courts as narrowly as possible to avoid a violation of the actual violation of free speech rights.

He was a nutjob with a hit list of several more democrats and/or supporters. Trumps Neo-GOP laughed and cracked many crass jokes about the violent assault though, didn't they? The 22 year old who targeted Mr. Kirk was also a nutjob. He is not a liberal or even a Democrat. People who crack jokes about either of these events are a disgrace to liberty and freedom.

yeah, and how many leftist crack jokes about the misfortunes of republicans? On an almost daily basis.

The issue isn't who calls who what. Hell, it's to the point it doesn't even matter who started the shit show.

What matters is we stop calling each other names, stop trying to kill each other, and stop trying to ruin the lives of those we disagree with.

Will the left do that?

The **** they will.

Grow tired of the "But they did it too" argument and learn to talk about policies and limiting the power of government.

 

[struth]

It’s an opinion, and a delusional one.

I’ve been told for decades how much I hate this country because I don’t vote for Republicans.

I’ve been told for decades that I’m stupid because I don’t vote for Republicans.

They call us “libtards”, “feminazis”, “enemies of the state”, “vermin”, “Maxists”, and “racists”.

They’ve been doing it for years. Then they give medals to the people who lead the way in the hatred.

But all those things are true

The big issue is nobody is assassinating you over it or looting your house or firebombing your business

That’s, what people like you that hate America and are racist do

 

[rosends]

Do you believe your leader Bibi?

yup. I have seen the peace. I have benefitted from that peace. But Israel was invaded and is trying to craft an actual peace, without the promise of further incursions. Demanding "peace" from only Israel is silly.

This is what you tell yourself in order to justify the hatred you already have.

Obama was the last one to try and make connections between both sides. The left was punched in the face while extending a hand.

I have no hatred for the left. Only sympathy for their plight.

You're all the equivalent of 5-year-olds emotionally, with the same amount of willpower to stop acting in horrible ways.

Have a good day.

When did Obama try to make connections between the sides? Wasn’t he the one that said elections have consequences?

Trumps the one that has put Dems in his cabinet

Unity

Again, you are telling yourself fictions to maintain your own sense of self.

Look deep at who you are. Who you support.

The country has never seen a politician as filled with hate as Trump. He exploits the hatred. It’s how he maintains power.

 

[rosends]

Do you love this?

I don't love destruction. But also don't like people working to kill me and my family. I believe that those who have said that they want to kill me and my family need to be fought so that they can't kill me and my family.

Yet trump supporters aren’t assassinating folks

You guys are

Project much?

Leftards complaing about the world they want / created is delicious
Freedom of speech champs

This doesn't make sense because without Free Speech the smallest of nations and populations would be most at risk.

The reason the nazis were so successful is that they stifled free speech. Germans were fed propaganda and people were killed for making fun of Hitler or doubting their ability to succeed.

A nation without free speech eventually fails and often spectacularly, even violently.

~~~~~~>
Why do you just point Nazi's as the root of the problem, when Communism in the form of Leninism/Stalinism does not allow "Free Speech?
This was also proven by Mao Zedong in his totalitarian rule in China that exists today.
Remembering the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. That was all about Free Speech!

Or maybe they were successful because the masses bought into the "speech"

 

[shockedcanadian]

There wasn't any other speech to compare it to so they didn't have a choice.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Destiny is a buffoon and is completely wrong for this moment. No American should fear being killed at any political rally, or anywhere for that matter.

A decent liberal

Fascist have free speech the national socialist like what the left here did with Kirk, used the ultimate censorship to silence opposition…assassination

 

[jc456]

Half the posters on this board.

then there's us the other half.

 

[jc456]

How am I delusional?

Ho Li Fuk, you have but to open ANY ******* NEWS PROGRAM to see the extent of the ******* hatred the left has for Conservatives, and they broadcast it 24/7.

How is it you are NOT delusional?

99% of the media reports on conservatives is negative.

disagree with a demofk get taken out. I think they're running the promo today.

 

[jc456]

It's being done by the right to murder liberals as well.

where? name one

This is what we need to start going.

Force them to define their terms so we can even know what they are talking about. They are completely lose with the language and ensure they use terms that a vague while demanding that their enemies (not political opponents but enemeies) are squeezed into a box of their making.

Lets all start with defining terms and then see how the left vs the right have applied them.

Be sure to include your own terms as defined to be fair.

like take their narrative to their own people it ain't mine and they can fk off.
