And as long as what you are saying isn't killing, jailing, or taxing someone it's perfectly legal. It doesn't mean you aren't free to walk away from someone spewing the ****. But it's perfectly legal for people say what they want to whomever they want, and the government can't step in, in any way.


Brother they censor the press that's laughable they direct the press on what to say. Because the media is part of the long arm of big brother. It's part of their propaganda machine. So when they kidnapped 9 members of the press during the 08 elections on a plane no less that's censorship. No sir that's shanghaied.

This is the only one I sorta agree with you on. Taxation of income is theft. The IRS, needs to be audited them damn selves. However I agree yes churches should be taxed on certain things. Land tax, and various city taxes. However, taxation on tithes, or donations from the congregation is unthinkable. It should be up to the church community to audit the pastors, of the church, because there is indeed separation between church and state. and the government has no say in that under the first amendment.
Uh, did you read someone else's post? I said freedom of speech ends if there was a valid threat. Learn to read.

And as someone with journalistic experience the whole government forcing the press's hand conspiracy is very cute.
