Thread: Free speech vs hate speech

I've said it a bunch, especially when talking about church and state issues. I have said many times here that mixing church and state at all is a drive down the road to theocracy. I never related the totalitarian threat to free speech before this thread because, before the healthcare bill got passed, the left was not gung ho against freedom of speech. It's a brand new trend, and it is deeply disturbing.

Those are not legitimate rights. Enforcing them would require a ridiculously oppressive government.

Also, I have seen you spew plenty of hate here. In fact, you just publicly dissed supporters of free speech and called them an insulting name. You want them to be socially ostracized and hated, as you just condemned and hated them yourself and encouraged the mentality. What kind of jail sentence do you think you deserve for it? Give me a time range.

That would be "reasoned wrongly". I have questioned the idea a bunch, and I have given you and many others lots of chances to prove the truth of it.
