Free speech shouldn't apply to all

My wife doesn�t often get political. Aside from the theme of animal rights that defines her diary, out of 57 entries so far, only five could be seen to contain any real food for socio-political fodder: in these entries, she has tackled anti-French sentiment, euthanasia, sexism in the British monarchy, anti-immigration platforms and socialist medicine. However, we can add another topic to her list: the euro.
Please read this. I agree with her 110 percent.
Please go here and read this as well.
Eddie called the particular franchise out for what is an egregious double standard. And one can�t possibly help but agree. Unless you�re a pro-family values member of the KKK or the BNP, that is.
I would like to take things a step further and ask the obvious�how the hell do these people get around, exist even, without ever having taken a few bricks to the head? Maybe they have. Too bad the experiences have never killed them.
It's one thing to have your head completely up your own ass by believing the lies of a cynical, unpatriotic media, and ignoring the brutality of a thuggish regime while complaining that said regime got knocked out of power for all the wrong reasons. That does not present the case against free speech�it just simply makes the anti-war crowd look like the dimwitted fools that they are. To those who think my invectives against these loonies over the course of the past six months amounted to a desire to rob them of their rights to free speech, well, it just proves what a vicious circle this is. There you are with your head up your ass again!
However, during this whole raging debate over free speech and the revival of Voltaire�s famous quote, �I may not always agree with what you say, but I�ll defend to the death your right to say it,� I can honestly say that there can be made a case where that maxim is not true, that free speech should be legitimately denied.
And that would be the scum in this world that stir up dangerous trouble. Who needs it, or them: The radical Islamic clerics, Louis Farrakhan and his stomach-turning ilk�or goddamned neo-Nazis? Does anyone seriously think these people have earned a right to free speech? Fuck �em and their so-called rights. I think that once you have publicly announced your desire to strip an entire segment of the population of their rights, and even their lives, you have in effect seen to it that your views will not be defended. It�s a lot like capital punishment�the social contract expects you to respect other lives and to not kill. Once you kill, your right to be seen as a human being with a right to life has just been nullified. You just threw your own right to life away. Time to strap you down and insert that needle.
Concerning neo-Nazis, I personally think every decent person of every color and creed and from every walk of life should band together in search of these skinhead thugs with their swastika armbands and just simply beat the total and unmerciful crap out of their racist macho asses. Believe you me, if I saw a scene like that going down, the word intervene would suddenly take on the meaning �to join in� rather than �to attempt to put a halt to.�
Or perhaps we could just go Fidel Castro on their asses by rounding them up, lining them up and firing away.
Oh what a better world this could indeed be.
