thats why there should be a limit to freedom of speech that could be considered verbal terrorism and it's also considered treason cause they had signs that said god hates america
I firmly disagree. Any time to begin to impose censorship of any kind you are opening the doors to oppression. Also, I wouldn't call it treason either. Disagreeing with your government is not treason, and look at the nations where it was like that, especially in Britain and France several hundred years ago. We all saw how well that worked out, and it's exactly the kind of thing the founders of America were opposed to.
Again, although I firmly disagree with what these groups are saying I must honestly say that they are well within their rights and those rights should not be altered in any way.
How about we stand next to the WBC protesters with a sign that reads "Thank You Fallen Soldier, ignore these ingrates".
This. Exactly. That soldier died defending a country which grants freedom of speech and in my opinion any attempt to censor your detractors simply trivializes the cause for which that soldier laid down their life.
"It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag."
