Ron Paul is confused, freedom of speech does not include trying to divide the country.

Please explain yourself, because on its face, this statement is awfully Orwellian in its logic.

I do not agree with Ron Paul on the Wikileaks situation, but your opinion strikes me as dangerously confused. Maybe you mistated your true thoughts. Freedom of speech gives us a constitutional right to divide the country with dissenting opinions. No ifs ands or buts.

I think you need to explain what you mean here. Weren't the founders trying to divide the country (England)? I think they would argue that trying to divide a country was a perfectly reasonable purpose of speech.
