The right and the left in America both support freedom of speech, but
it's the left that tries to limit free speech under the guise of
so-called political correctness, which dictates the suppression of
certain facts that do not comport with the wishful thinking of leftist
utopians. In fact, while leftists say they support free speech
for everyone, they are referring mostly to their right to use
obscenities and forms of vulgar non-speech in public simply because it
stimulates their sex glands and annoys other people. When it
comes to substantive speech that reflects actual thinking, however,
they do NOT support free speech from conservatives. The reason is
actually quite simple, having been stated clearly on many a bumper
sticker: "Mean people suck."
Conservatives believe that people should be responsible for their
behavior. In the eyes of liberals, such a philosophy puts an
unreasonable burden on us human animals and limits our ability to live
carefree, like cattle, while the ranchers in Washington take care of
our every need. Making people responsible for their own actions
is mean. Conservatives are mean. Mean people suck.
They do not deserve the same rights as liberal cattle and the
bureaucrats that herd them.
In a similar manner, Islam frowns on murdering human beings but defines
Christians and Jews as pigs and monkeys so that the prohibition on
murdering them does not apply. Christians and Jews are to the
jihadists what conservatives ("mean people") are the political left:
subhumans who do not deserve full rights under the law.
