Liberate Tu Me

Okay, I know I have a reputation for calm, lucid discussion but this time I cannot contain my agitation.

Exactly how in the fuck can anyone claim to support freedom of speech then turn around and decide that it isn't acceptable to express an opinion on an idea simply because some hypersensitive, irrational, superstitious, primitive wack-jobs with control issues can't understand that they are not special?

Worse yet (and I'm not generally one for slippery slope arguments) has it not yet occured to anyone that once you make it okay to silence dissenting opinions under such a braod heading that the real bad guys will start tucking their various atrocities and abusses under that heading? Think I'm being an alarmist? Take long, hard look at Iran or North Korea.

I don't generally disagree with Fearless Leader, but if this plan is getting play from the top, then here is absolutely one area where I'm willing to tell Barry-Boo to check his shit and try again. The only acceptable cause for restricting speech is to preserve public safety; hence the bit about not inciting riot or yelling Fire! in a theater. Such an argument simply does not apply here, period.
