They send hate letters to each other with stagecoach services?

The problem is that there is no such thing as "freedom of speech" it's BS, there is a right to have an opinion, but some opinions are crimes and should never become speech, let alone be public

Corollary: public speech must be granted to everyone, because it's in the US Constitution, but you should not use it to badmouth the US

but some opinions are crimes

No. The US does not criminalize thought, and doing so would be tyranny.

you should not use it to badmouth the US

Also No. The very purpose of freedom of speech and the press is to maintain channels for criticism and change.

> some opinions are crimes and should never become speech

Hard disagree here. Unless you're using some definition of crime I've never heard of, opinions can never be crimes in the US.

Even the advocacy of violence is constitutionally protected speech here.
