Freedom of speech

2009-08-25 / Letters

I have not understood what freedom of speech meant since its definition was broadened to include the burning of our American flag.

Apparently "organizers" standing around voting polls with billy clubs are exercising their speech rights. Having others look over your voting ballot when determining whether or not to unionize goes under this purview as well.

Politicians seem to shout the loudest when being exposed to views conflicting with their own view. When their opponent is catching flack, however, it's OK! Perhaps freedom of speech is in the ear of the beholder!
