  That's fine, I just wish people would stop pretending free speech is some great American value then. What they really value is the right to silence people by any means possible, stopping just short of imprisonment.

    I wish people would stop defining "free speech" for themselves and getting disappointed that it doesn't mean what they want it to mean.

      Well if all it is is a protection from imprisonment, and not some higher ideal, it's hardly worth talking about. There's the First Amendment and then there's free speech.
