Calling you traitor, to the extent it actually happens, is an exercise of free speech, not a restraint on your free speech. It may be just as false and/or obnoxious (and your posts might be as well), but it isn't a restraint on speech.

"Most of you guys on the right, however, appear to despise freedom," If you believe this then you make yourself hard to respect. We support the things that make freedom possible. From my perspective, when you undermine the things that make the great things about the country you undermine the country. When you write of freedom do you mean the freedom to make someone else pay for your medical care? The freedom to spend every dime you make and then retire with lots more income on someone else's tab? The freedom to say hurtful things and then accuse those who point out your bad behavior of being a fascist? The freedom to make excuses for underperformance and use that as an excuse to encourage future underperformance? Which freedoms do you hold dear?
