That's cute. You can insult the messenger all you want, I am not the condemning someone for exercising free speech.
and this poor understanding you have is what is wrong with half this country.
condemning, criticizing, calling an idiot for the idiot that they are, is not the same as
censoring.
it really is quite simple.
we allow the idiots to talk in this country all they want, and it is a fine thing. However, the rational, well-read people among us understand full well, that equating illogical, non-factual, slanderous and inaccurate speech with factual, relevant speech is
not a benefit to society.
Giving equal time to inaccurate appeals based on nothing but passion is not a version of "unbiased reporting." Some time, and only
some times, there are, indeed, 2 sides to a story. But in fact, that is rarely the case. There is often only one relevant side...but many people just don't accept that for what it is.
One thing has become clearer and clearer to me: the angrier and louder the increasingly shrinking, less educated, and radically minded wing of a party has become, voicing their irrational, deluded mantras couched in nothing but paranoia and revealing a basic fear of education, the more this voice is crying about "protection of free speech!" "You won't listen to me, so you are denying my free speech!"
That, in itself, is a clear indicator that a poor understanding of history and philosophy--likely due to personally supported cuts in public education--has fed the internal beast, serving only to keep this sector more and more uneducated, more and more paranoid and fearful of demons that simply do not exist.
