Always thought conservatism was sort of childish. Ever notice how kids want everything to stay as it is when they first get to know it?

Clock-stoppers.

And it doesn't, but in this case providing a commercial platform is not promoting free speech. Promoting free speech is usually a smoke screen. She was screening self promotion.

Also, please continue sharing free speech thoughts regardless of what the fascist left says.

That was a chilling account.

I was especially moved by the men putting the ten year old under the bench and shielding him with their bodies.

You mean he should keep on being wrong as hell about how free speech applies in this case? My exasperation at this common error should of course not be taken as any sort of fascist feeling, and your insult is not appreciated, given that there are real fascists around these days, and they are not leftists.

I wonder some times as to how much good the practice of free speech on social media has done for this country?

[donquixote99]

I'm in no mood to offer a calm assessment. Looks like it's been harmful if anything to me.

[Rajoo]

In my opinion, the social media has dumbed down the country to the point of no return.
President of this country who is the defacto leader of the free world is using social media almost exclusively to communicate with the people. No more news conferences, no Q & A's and accountability. A very dangerous situation for the people.

Now that the victim is one of their own, they're denouncing such extreme rhetoric - a bit late, methinks.

When is the last time you heard a Democratic candidate or lawmaker advocate for "Second Amendment" solutions or "watering the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants?" It is your party and its NRA sugar daddy that has created the meme that it's a patriotic duty to shoot and kill political adversaries whom you view to be tyrannical (and numerous Republican politicians and talking heads often referred to Obama as a "tyrant.") I have found this kind of rhetoric irresponsible and inflammatory for years now, yet your party continues unabated with this dangerous nonsense. This is the America you wanted and voted for. Own it.

Has the NRA, like leftist Madonna, called for blowing up the White House? Did the NRA release a video of a beheaded President? Did the NRA populate social media with thousands of assassinate Trump postings? Was it an NRA member who shot up a baseball practice full of Congress members and staff last week?

No. The NRA had nothing to do with any of the above, Your bleating about "Second Amendment solutions" not withstanding. Meanwhile your Dems leaders are running around lacing their political speech with F bombs designed to keep their angry base all charged up.

Own that.
