And I never said it did. I was refuting the illogical leap from "First Amendment" to "I can say or do whatever I want and not suffer any consequences, period".
Everyone is indeed born with the right of free speech, and I will staunchly defend that right. However, that doesn't mean I or anyone else can walk into someone else's demesnes and start verbally abusing them without at least being told to leave, which is their right. Or if they like the abuse, they equally have the right to let me stay and continue abusing them.
To put it another way, your right to swing your fist stops at my face.
