Fear of loss of free speech has a rational basis in this country. I don't have to cite Hitler for an example.

It is especially worrisome when reactionary forces gain control of the government. Bible-thumpers scare the heck out of me because they are absolutely sure they are right and everyone else is wrong. It is core to their philosophy. I'm never sure I'm absolutely right so I'm reluctant to act with such hubris and unwarranted self-confidence. They have far less to fear from me than I have to fear of them. History supports my position.
