Having a publisher decline to publish your unsolicited article isn't censorship. It's business.

Why do people not understand that their right to free speech does not obligate (oblige?) others to give them a soap box or even listen?

Indeed, it's someone else's right to free speech that allows them to dictate what speech occurs within their jurisdiction.

Yeah, I had to stop reading after "But we have to let all voices be heard. The right to free speech is protected by The First Amendment of the United States Constitution."

Nothing in the first amendment says you are guaranteed an audience, government or not. If you can't make that simple distinction maybe you're not getting picked up and published because you're just writing drivel.
