[metmom]

We can’t have people expressing non-government approved and sanctioned opinions, now, can we?

[dfwgator]

Germans going to German.

its amazing how many in the West see Russia behind every curtain, under every bed, behind every door...and cannot find “Russia” when it’s staring right back at them out of a mirror...over-educated idiots

Pretty pathetic when your freedom of speech protection is notably worse than in Canada. I’m sure we are a few turns of the wheel away from just fining people for holding the wrong opinion. In fact ... knock on the door, be back in a sec ...

NO YOU WON’T

This is just more evidence that Europeans don’t and never will understand the 1st amendment or any of the Rights enshrined in our constitution nor will they ever without the our boots on their necks. They have too many historical grievances and class envy to respect the rights of all.

Unfortunately we seem to be headed in the European riptide so hold onto your God given rights as long as you can.

Are you so sure most Americans even understand it anymore?

[RedMonqey]

They did when I went to high school.

But that was over forty years ago and the only blue haired teachers were over 65 yrs old.

Sieg Heil!

Just like the good ole days, eh Germany?

We are well on our way to a warmed over banana republic.

"There is no freedoms of speech (or thought) in Europe or America anymore."
I feel a good deal of freedom here on FreeRepublic, although I suspect I'm probably on some governmental black list (if I can use the term these days).
