RE: Who's Next?

Too many on the "left" and "right" start their arguments with something like, "It's my right as an American..." and completely lose the plot from the get-go. Governments don't grant rights. They either respect or (more often) trample rights inherent in individuals, including free speech and voluntary association.

“The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free...”
― Utah Phillips

I really have nothing to add to that...
