There is a Right to Free Speech but Not to Exercise it Wherever You Like

We have seen so many times Ann Coulter's weakest of all possible whines about people throwing her out.  Her First Amendment rights are being crushed and her free speech lies bleeding on the ground.

Many things lie bleeding on the ground as a result of Ann Coulter but free speech isn't one of them.  If speech were any freer in America, she would have the facility to start riots as easily as Marine Le Pen but she doesn't show much competence for that either.

The First Amendment is used as a disingenuous cover to force entry to places you don't belong and against the wishes of the majority who are there.  It's the same mechanism as terrorizing the country from coast to coast with personal weapons.  The Second Amendment has almost nothing to do with it while internal terrorism is hugely important to it.  The Toyota terrorists can only dream of getting away with murder as easily as American cops and all for the Second Amendment.


The only real competence Ann Coulter has ever shown has been in selling dime-store novels for junior voters and that was a noble aspiration for someone who earned a J.D., huh.  Many of such people aspire to go to the Supreme Court but she only aspired to be on the book rack at Wal-Mart.

Impressive.


Monica Crowley was another conservative who whined about free speech ... and how she should be able to copy anyone else's free speech and make it her own.  Ann Coulter hasn't done much differently from that insofar as she's as derivative as the cheesiest Sixties rock cover song.

Honesty may come from Republicans someday but there's no evidence it will come today.

Example from Ithaka:  "Under Blue Skies" Live | Bonfire

Bonfire is using a derivative idea of Sixties rock and they're relatively good at it except the lyrics are worse and the example is because that's much the same act as Ann Coulter.  It's all been said already ... far too many times.


You will never, ever, hear Republicans defending the Fourth Amendment which protects against illegal search and seizure and, in my life, I have never even heard a Republican mention the Fifteenth Amendment in any context at all.

Sometimes they may say Lincoln freed the slaves and you know well that wasn't Lincoln's purpose so that one chalks up as well to disingenuous Republican bullshit.  They didn't care about freeing the slaves at that time and they don't care about it now.


Republicans have been spinning their history relentlessly, all the while accusing liberals of rewriting it.  The fact is, Republicans hardly ever produce anything.  You can see that in Trump's noble dreams of building a wall and I'm sure you can imagine the pride future Americans will take in that.

It's a fucking disgrace that he aims America so low but what choice does he have when he has such tawdry and empty dreams.  He eats, plays golf, talks shit, and sleeps.  There doesn't appear there's ever been much more depth to Trump's life than that.


When you aim for the bottom, you'll get there every time and America is well on the way because the people aren't apparently interested in any better.  Washington broke them and made a country of dispirited losers whose only solace is having a little jingle to buy a hooker once in a while.
