In addition to allowing a healthy exchange of ideas, freedom of speech allows people to articulate issues that matter to them. This sentiment should, ironically, be understood by the Boston protesters.
The Slippery Slope
A ban on free speech directly violates the Constitution. This nation’s laws are paramount to who we ar. What happens when the first amendment dies? Will the right to bear arms be next? Who enforces the ban on free speech? Will it truly be worth it in the end?
These are all questions that the [Alt] Left must ask themselves. Protesting against free speech is easy when you have the right to speak freely. What happens when that right is revoked? Quite frankly, the [Alt] Left should be careful what they wish for. They might get what they are asking for and then realize it is not what they wanted. By that point, it will most likely be too late.
