“If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”

Well Said!

No double standards thanks.

Amen!

Unless of course you are advocating my death because I don't believe in your religion. Or advocating the removal of my freedoms. That is not freedom of expression, it's a crime.

We hold this truth to be self evident except, as J Carlton has so clearly expressed, only in a lawful, non-criminal atmosphere.

The socialists, with all other religionists can preach their dogmas to their hearts content as long as it does not interfere with a government of law(s). Progressives and Neocons are expected to express their prejudices; freedom continues as long as neither expressed prejudice is forced on anyone. Going along with that outside the criminal thing (yelling fire in a theater for example), 'sticks and stones will break my bones but word's will never hurt me.'

Fake...I don't see him championing freedom of speech today. Did he die?
