[quote name="Vested Id"]The First Amendment <strong>recognizes</strong> your freedom of expression. If it's not honored by your fellow Americans, you don't have it. And anybody who tries to trade off on their civic responsibility to allow others to speak their minds by saying it's not directly provisioned by the Constitution deserves to die an extremely violent death. The supremacy of free expression was a truth accepted by everybody until it became inconvenient. You can still affirm free expression while being disgusted with the speech. Or you can be a complete piece of shit and say "well I didn't actually mean that" and allow mob rule to snuff out undesired voices. There's never been an acceptance of all utterances in any free speech society, the point is if you perpetually affirm the importance of free expression you will discover the boundaries. What's important is the hard part of agreeing to allow speech you really don't want to hear.[/quote]
