And, now, after the "end of major hostilities" (when did that happen, again?), we're still supposed to shut up and salute the flag.
And you still don't. Not on either of those threads or on numerous others including this one. You yourself are proof of this.
So there always seems to be a good reason to silence the Peace Party.
So when is it you are planning on shutting up?
Freedom of speech means that the gov't cannot shut you up. It does NOT mean private citizens do not get to disagree with you or question your motives or loyalty. SHutting them up would be a violation of the freedom of speech you claim to be so fond of, but, in fact, apparently would love to see violated. |
