There is a clip from the movie The American President about the 1A.... it was a great piece that highlighted the left's dedication to free speech. The West Wing had a similar speech in it (can't find it) where Jed went off about free speech and the need to protect it. My question is, when did all of this flip? When did the left turn into "free speech as long as you agree with me" and the right become more tolerant (though it has a long way to go)? And why is it not ok to call out Germany and Britain and France for their ever more-censored society? That is the road to fascism.. that is the road to empowering radicals and silencing the majority... that is the road to group think. Who would have thought in a time of rampant social media it would be the ACLU party that would want to lock down speech and protect America from herself? So I ask again... when did all this happen?

CBS is wrong about free speech in Germany and the rise of Nazism
Margaret Brennan should immediately google the Weimar Fallacy.
