Excuse me, I need to vent my spleen as well as a few other organs, so don't take this too seriously.

"I don't think you realize all the Christians that consider my show to be "hate speech." It's a double edge sword. Be careful what censorship you support."

Then maybe we ought to be creating a society where Christians and other Right-wing barbarians aren't anywhere near bladed weapons(be they figurative or literal).

Unfair? Inconsistent? Double-standard?

Cry me a river.

It all boils down to what do you value more: Freedom or progress? You can't have the latter when you give the former to those opposed to the latter. That's why our country is in it's current mess. We don't have the ability to hold the bigots and know-nothings accountable for the damage they do society. Instead, we give them free speech/press/religion and are shocked--SHOCKED--when they use it to spread lies, racism, sexism, etc.

What's that? Left-wing authoritarianism rather than Right-wing? Again, my heart bleeeeeds for the Reaganomics-loving, gun-toting, Bible-humpers who might be "oppressed" by a government that doesn't seek a democratic "mother-may-I" to do what we know factually to be right. If creating a secular, scientifically-literate, society with racial, sexual, and economic equality means holding a gun to the heads of the morons who act as a millstone around our society's neck, so be it. I have no sympathy for them.

However, if you have another option, please tell me what it is. What we're doing now doesn't seem to be working.
