“But freedom of speech is not freedom to lie, not freedom to distort nor freedom to deliberately frighten. Thus, two items in the news these days make me boil right down to the soles of my feet!”
I am finding a lot of this of late, the idea that ‘lies’ are not protected speech and that the left (administration) gets to define those ‘lies’ (basically anything that they do not agree with, regardless of merit or truth.
It is a very convenient philosophy if one is in the power position to stop such ‘lies’.
