... but an overbearing one.  He just can't follow the rules to save himself.  He's on his fifth or sixth account already.

We still do. But we recognize that insulting speech, slander, libel, and threats have consequences.

Perhaps with our free speech we prefer a little bit of courtesy and free listening?
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

True. With free speech comes no right to an audience. If one has a compulsory audience, as with a K-12 teacher, then that privilege comes with a responsibility that significantly clips one's freedom of speech.

The USA is now an immoral bankrupt warmongering police state flooded with illegal immigrants.

Americans either don't know or want to know that the US is collapsing or think that nothing can be done to save the USA.

Clean-cut, moral Americans who were taught to hate Communism, be hard-working, be responsible, respect free speech, support religious freedom, defend gun rights, oppose warrantless searches, seizures, and torture must be in a state of shock to watch the USA become Socialist. How could Americans go to the same schools and have such different beliefs?

You know that you live in the Twilight Zone when Americans support tyranny.

Like slaves, Americans beg for their chains.

The elites tell Americans that they don't need freedom and Americans nod their heads and agree that they don't need freedom.

Americans think either that the USA is the country with the most freedom in the world or think that the US was always a police state.

Americans do not understand unintended consequences, know history, or see hypocrisy.

Americans used to fight Commies and Nazis, but now have become Commies and Nazis.

Americans think freedom only benefits others, but think that they are exempt from the police state.

Nazis and Commies don't care about government abuse and attack anyone who criticizes their beloved government overlords.

Americans scream the trade deficit is the same as the US deficit.

Americans insist that the US always had TSA groping and seatbelt checkpoints.

Americans swear all police officers are private contractors.

Americans are unaware that Russians used to try to escape tyranny by fleeing the USSR. Americans do not understand that people break out of prisons, but almost no one breaks into prisons.

Nazis scream that they need the government to build a wall to protect them from immigrants, but do not realize that no one had passports in 1776.

Commies beg for gun laws, but cannot comprehend that there were no gun laws in 1870.

Americans do not realize that Americans did not have food stamps or bailouts during the Panic of 1893.

Americans are simply unable to accept the fact that San Francisco recovered after the Earthquake of 1906 without FEMA.

Americans do not realize now that people do not go barefoot because there are no government shoe factories.

Americans scream that the only way to reduce the trade deficit and help the economy is to ban foreigners from buying US property.

Americans think closed borders turned North Korea into a stunning success.

Americans have no idea that a trade war made the Great Depression worse.

Americans feel that raising the minimum wage would reduce prices and encourage businesses to hire workers.

Americans insist that the US debt doesn't need to be paid back.

Americans swear US wars are wonderful because US bombs are just sitting in storage gathering dust.

Americans are so degraded now that they scream homosexuality indicates improving morals.

Are Americans crippled retards?

The destruction of the US cannot come quickly enough.
