I don’t think we’ve established that, and I’m fairly confident that the ACLU doesn’t think so either for that matter.

If corporate speech, or individual speech had to embrace all viewpoints without restriction it would cease to be independent at all wouldn’t it? In other words, protecting the right of individuals to express the viewpoints they choose to is in fact the more democratic ideal isn’t it?

Separately, please refrain from speculation about what I or others _appear_ to be saying. If I intend to say something I have no problem doing so.

The ACLU are full throttle political partisans today, and don't give a fuck about free speech except in the same sense Stalin does: What they like should be allowed and what they don't like should be banned, and they act accordingly.
