Turley and Turlet are pretty much the same word.

Just sayin!

I'm reading the book now. It's a great read on the history and a commentary on the First Amendment.

We lost free speech a long time ago. We have laws telling us what we can say. We even have some groups of people who can say anything but another group can say the same words and be put in jail and lose their job.

Y’all are hysterical. You love history if is fits your narrative. But history be damned if it covers post reconstruction through the glorification of confederate leaders, and the sustained represssion of blacks. Though this has greatly abated, there are still grandparents and parents that haven’t completely let go. But we can’t talk about that.

Instead let’s lament our lack of free speech here on JJ.

Pointing out the dangers of Marxism should not require much work, it has not only failed each time it was tried, the effort killed tens of millions, all demonstrable facts, with photos, video and audio. And yet we have two committed marxists running as democrats for Pres and Vice Pres. Free speech and Freedom itself requires responsible journalist to play their role in presenting these two candidates, as well as Trump and Vance, as wholly and truthfully as possible.

Write on !

Good grief! Threats and slanderous lies and yelling fire when there isn't one are not included in "freedom of speech" in any free Nation only in a Marxist regime where terrorizing the people and spreading fear with lies is common.
I saw Jan 6th with my own eyes. That was no peaceful gathering or "tour" of the Capitol. The capitol police were assaulted, windows and door frames broken. Damage was in the millions. A gallows was erected ( not something usually carried along on a trip) and bear spray isn't need in a tour of Washington.
No riot which harms others or damages property is a peaceful protest. It's a riot and those of us who are still rational know that and don't see politics or policy as a justification.
And, DL, try to write a column about women's roles in society. You certainly are old enough to have had teachers who never married or had children and scraped to get by on a teacher's salary and who had to get family to sign for a car loan or credit account. Or have you always had attention deficient disorders so you can't truly observe the world around you?

The next time there is a deadly virus like Covid, I hope Gardner makes his point by going without a mask.

6:26. How does what you call “the glorification” of Confederate leaders suggest repression of the right of expression? It seems to me that there is a right to do so that is co-extensive with a right to state a view about the post-reconstruction South. On the other hand, it might be that you are suggesting the “wrong” ideas or statements can be suppressed consistent with the right of free speech. You may not see that the North Korean government would agree with you. The fact is that if you want to protect the right of free expression, you must protect it when it comes to “wrong” ideas and even offensive ideas. It means nothing at all if we are only protecting approved ideas.

This column in Spiked gives you a better idea what is going on in England. In England, they will literally throw you in jail for criticizing Trans extremists while allowing Muslims to riot with no consequences and march through the streets screaming death to Jews.

Of course we still have a right to free speech under the First Amendment. One is free to speak or publish any pornographic material one chooses.

But any speech about matters political, ayo, hol' up. We can't allow all y'all making comments that might possibly maybe in some way be hurtful and offensive.
