    There is no such thing as free speech in the United States.

    If saying an opinion gets you fired from your job, or gets advertisers pulled from your site: guess what, that opinion might as well be banned from being posted.

    Free speech is when you can say things without consequences, apparently? So I guess your free speech to say stupid shit is more important than other peoples’ free speech to react to what you say or to choose not to associate with you?

    I’m surprised at how many knuckledraggers seem to forget that freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences, and freedoms go both ways.
