Whitefang Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 There's been some discussion about freedom of speech in these forums lately. I've run across this OP-ED piece in today's Detroit Free Press. Some good food for thought. https://www.theoaklandpress.com/2022/03/24/column-freedom-of-speech-is-not-freedom-from-consequences/ Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 So it is. Its a vital an important privilege/right too. On one hand, the politically correct crew are enemies of free speech. In the other hand, I become a bit impatient with those that justify abusing others as 'exercising free speech'. For then its a handy disingenuously misappropriated phrase.

George Washington would be right there standing beside your you while you side with those Rooskies against the NY Times. It's a good thing you represent the future of American Exceptionalism. Go get 'em. You good Americanski! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I opened it, but to read more than one paragraph - I would have had to 'subscribe' by sending my email address. So - the Free Speech article at the Detroit Free Press - wasn't really 'free'. Based on the first paragraph, I decided not to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
