For what seems like the thousandth time, I saw the words leftists now trumpet repeatedly as those trashing Charlie Kirk and giddy over his slaughter now either feel or see the consequences for their act.
“What about freedom of speech?” or “what happened to freedom of speech?”
Whenever I see the question, this is how I respond:
Nothing. Still there.
But because of the outright failure of public schools to actually teach the true meaning of Constitutional law, people such as yourself (and I am NOT throwing rocks at you…. this is more of a teaching moment) the students they failed do not understand that the 1A applies ONLY to government efforts to criminally prosecute you for something you’ve said or written.
It has zero application anywhere else, including work.
In short, there IS no “freedom of speech” in the civil environment. ABC has the right to fire anyone at any time for anything they do, public or private.
While those on the right, for example, who used blackface for anything, were outed and fired for that sort of thing while the left cheered, Kimmel?
He who did the exact, same, thing?
Why, HIS blackface episodes didn’t cost him a thing, let alone subject him to the very same “cancel culture” the left espoused. When in reality, if the leftist movement wasn’t hypocritical on its face, Kimmel would have ben kicked off the air back then.
The left flips that “freedom of speech” switch on and off whenever they feel like it. And while
“freedom of speech” didn’t matter to them then, it’s suddenly their holy grail.
After the slaughtering and celebrating the death a man practicing the very thing they now so staunchly, if not incorrectly, seemingly demand to protect.
