  7. ​ @Likexner  .... 1a was put into writing, so that it could be shown AS a natural right for all time. I am a free speech absolutist, but that does not mean I am for LITERALLY any / all speech to be all OK at all times. There must and will always be some things that we are not free to say, due to the consequences of saying them. We are not free to yell "fire" in a crowded theatre, that is not on fire. . To the above extent, this country does have a guaranteed natural right of free speech. However, when we have all Western World values under attack from big tech and a federal government that not only is just fine with it, but OPENLY calls on private business to censor US citizens, we have a MASSIVE problem. The Overton Window has been driven so insanely far to the left, what was once a bunch of common values shared by the Democratic and conservative parties, is just no longer the case. Regressives are 100% responsible for all the division we see and they will eventually be driven out of power. Whether it be by the electoral process or we end up forced to settle this 1860's style, the idea of 1a will again be restored to its rightful place of respect among this nation. Currently, free speech does NOT exist, as a practical measure, but only in the minds of those who understand that the problem does not simply be "who gets to decide" what is free speech, but "WHO... gets to decide who gets to decide" what is free speech. . If this does not happen and Biden continues to use The Constitution and Bill of Rights as a roll of soft paper, stored near each and every toilet in the White House and American people don't have the balls to stop him... then we deserve EXACTLY what we will get!

  9. ​ @Likexner  . Dude.... the term "Free Speech" in THIS context, refers to what is specified in 1a. When I say "free speech absolutist" in the present context, it means what is outlined within 1a. Were that not clear enough, I went on to give the most consistently cited example of when one does NOT have "free speech" and is one of several examples that free speech has consequences and that I agree with this limitation. There are other examples, such as inciting a riot, but I used this one as it is most common and would draw a very clear line between "absolute" as it is defined in a dictionary and "absolutist" as it relates to the application of The First Amendment. . Far as I can tell, there is at least one fundamental difference between each of our goals, as it pertains to this conversation. While I am seeking to find out not ONLY what you think, but why you think it. I am interested in intellectually honest discourse on any topic one can name and your thoughts specifically on the topic of 1a and free speech. You, on the other hand, are seeking to "win" an argument. Again, I have made myself exceptionally clear on the topic we had discussed thus far, but you are not interested to have and intellectually honest exchange, therefore I will no longer engage in it with you. . Reply if you like, but I will not be back to respond to whatever it is you have to say. So if the last word does it for you... have at it :) . PS> A straw man is not quoting something someone didn't say (that is not possible, BTW) , it is quoting what someone said, but not what they meant . It is the stripping of context and done by those who seek a "gotcha" moment, rather than rebut the claim / statement via a sound argument of their own opposing view / position. It is done by those who will take the least generous interpretation of what someone has said or done, and then manipulate the details to put that person into a negative or unfavorable light to others. I feel sorry for those who take such action and chalk it up as a win... truly sad :(
