Christopher Hoctor: Politics
The Constitution does not provision a right to free speech; it says Congress may make no law abridging freedom of speech. A right is an inherent and fundamental gift for all mankind. Some countries trample on people's rights, America is pretty darn good about protecting them. Freedom is another thing, it is NOT inherent, it is NOT free, and it costs money and lives to protect our freedoms. Therefore, freedoms inherently come with responsibility. Having a freedom is something you should cherish, respect, and practice with temperance. You should be grateful to those that defend your freedoms. People who abuse their freedom of speech earn the right to be given an equal measure of abuse in return. God bless America.
