An unconditional right to free speech? Not if you respect the battle flag of the northern army of Virginia or you understand that political correctness is nothing more than cultural Marxism and hate it with every fiber of your being because you know what it was designed to do. -- Mike, Pleasant Hill 1
Right on, Mike. -- jim k, Austin
Absolutely and further, the press has become a foreign powers' agent provocateurs and agent combatants when they censor(ed) political speech of individual sovereigns and their elected officials (a first act of war — along with justifying their lies and propaganda). The 4th branch of the occupying statist theocracy now infesting this land (ecclesiastical propagators, i.e. MSM) is at war with We The People, the U.S. Constitution, individual sovereignty, liberty and inalienable rights (including that of speech) -- Mike, Norwalk 1
