"Everybody is in favor of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage." Winston Churchill (1874-1965)
Sir Winston was right again. Such is the time we live in. Only radicals and extremist have the right to free speech. The recent BLM protest and riots are just one example. They do not want others to say that Blue Lives Matter or All Lives Matter.
Typically radical and extremist operate on the principle of I am right and you shut up. They think the one that talks the loudest wins. Not for one millisecond do they think that anyone else has the right to free speech.
The “Donald” has said that anyone that burns the flag should be punished. Yes, I agree with him, but if such action is freedom of speech, which it isn’t, then those that commit these acts have the right.
Just because you have the right to do something doesn’t mean you should do it.
