you preach "freedom of speech" and take it too literally, so...
1.) I want you to read the article i posted above and comment on it Please
2.) I want you to tell me: What about the people who have their rights tread upon so some racist yokel, or some tyranical leader, can practice "freedom of speech"? Do their rights not count?

I'm pretty sure that there are laws against protesting on the SC steps, but this is a much lesser problem than what I had originally thought they'd done. Still, if there are laws against it, they should've been aware of that. I'm not in favor of any jail time or anything like that, however.
Historian Michael S. Foley, a professor at the City University of New York, teaches the U.S. Constitution to undergraduates. He testified that if "you told me that the defendants would be arrested for 'unlawful free speech' just twenty feet from where the Justices decide First Amendment cases, I'd say you were 'crazy.'"

Anyone who claims 9/11 was an inside job has no reason to be in a political forum. You go back to your conspiracy forums. They might have some inkling of respect for you there.
Even level-headed liberals (cough - oxymoron - cough) in here could agree with me that you're wrong about it being an inside job.
