Chilliwack Progress editor fired after anti-Christian remarks
Chilliwack's oldest community newspaper has parted ways with its editor, Paul Henderson, after he posted a series of tweets mocking Christian prayer requests for a toddler fighting for his life after nearly drowning in Cultus Lake.
I think this goes to show you how few people support actual free speech. I'm not sure if they would feel differently if they were extended the right in practice. They aren't, in practice, so I'm not gonna judge.
I can fully support all of this being the actions of free people and still tell the newspaper that I think they're wrong and they suck. Free speech can only be mandated so far by the government. People have to believe in it.
What's weird about this case is nothing he said comes close to any lines. The speech is at worst rude, not anything close to threatening or slanderous.
Exactly, that's my main view on it as well and this attitude is why I've gotten more and more fed up with right wingers. Anime and Games are my litmus test, why? Because it's a free speech issue, this may come across as a random tangent but like you point out so many on the right are revealing themselves as to be just as anti-free speech as the left they're just using it as a way to attract people from other factions.
I want nothing to do with these snakes and grifters, they're no better than neo-cons, it's the rise of the evangelical right all over again and the left only have themselves to blame for it.
Well the "stormfags" aren't free speechers. Such is not a tenet of National Socialism.
Cause and effect.
Most people here won't have a problem with the degenerate left if they had kept their mouths and legs shut. The mentality we have here it's just a natural response to the all out assault from our enemies.
Do you think the citizens of London shed any tears as Hamburg burns? No.
