The original statement asked why we hate freedom. I asked why he adores censorship. Now you reply by saying you care for us and want us to be safe. What does that mean; if we speak up we won;t be safe? You're right, but the doer of evil if we speak outside the parameters established by the neo-con governement would be the US government, not some invisible enemy. Perhaps you can tell us who your oppressive government would be keeping us safe from. IF we speak out against the war, the enemy will grow stringer as a direct result of that?
1) It doesn't work that way
2) Even if it did, it wouldn't make us personally less safe, that is, unless there were US gov ifficials beating our door down, which is my point: we need protection from this oppressive government, not some foreign enemy.
I guess you haven't read too many of unformed's posts, have you?

Not really, is there metaphore and sarcasm in them?

The original statement was to infer that free speech undermines the country. I replied by asking why he would censor us. Now you tell me that if I speak my mind in an orderly constructive way that it might backfire. I bet you consider yourself a Constitutionalist too. The framers didn't care about the effects of any such dissent, they were afraid that not having the right to dissent would be hugely more damaging. I just can't understand your sentiments that speaking your mind might step on toes, so shush it up. That is so absolutley pro-censorship that it reeks of the kind of rule in Nazi Germany. Perhaps take a step back and read your own assertions.
BTW, how the hell do you know what I mean and what I don't? That is so uterly condescending that if I said that to anyone I know they would tell me to FO.

The recurring theme I read from you and this post makes me think you are what you criticize. You blame the Dems for this, "Craddle to grave" coddling, when it is your assertions that reveal these sentiments.....say things you don't mean .........have it backfire in the long run..........because we care for you............we want you to be safe
I don't think you are in a position to keep me safe, but thanks for the complete condescention.
