Freedom of speech is the freedom to announce to the world that you are an idiot. It is NOT the freedom to force others not to listen to or act on what you say.

Freedom of speech is the freedom to announce to the world that you are an idiot. It is NOT the freedom to force others not to listen to or act on what you say. I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many people misunderstand this. Actions have consequences, and this includes speech. It is not the job of any American to support thouse who espouse beliefs they find repugnant, just because they have the freedom to speak up about those same beliefs.
