Amendment I – Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Precious words define the First Amendment freedom in our Constitution. While the entire media protects their own individual First Amendment right views, more Liberal advocates fail to understand, trust, and/or practice opposing views equally; failing to accept more Conservative views of many, and perhaps, a majority of Americans.
Some Liberals fail to even recognize opposing positions, when other views may carry an equal or perhaps, a more productive view. For some Liberals, it is much easier to silence and/or disassociate/discard more Conservative, Christian, and/or old English common sense views. Superficially, rejecting these views are disallowing the same Freedom of Speech they themselves, otherwise, practice.
Supreme Court Justice Brandeis, a President Woodrow Wilson appointee once said, "Experience teaches us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purpose is beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding."
Just as Justice Brandeis addressed, our Liberal media must understand, trust, and/or practice, all Conservative, Christian, and/or old English common sense values in our Freedom of Speech; then apply it bilaterally, rather than unilaterally.
God Bless America!
