re: #20 Romantic Heretic

What use would a dictionary be? They’re functionally illiterate. Or so crazy that they literally can’t read what is in front of them.

Example: Barack Obama is President of the United States.

They’ll read: Barack Hussein is a socialist foreigner who isn’t the same color as us who has cheated his way into the Presidency to destroy America.

You can’t talk to people that badly damaged.

Fox Nation:
President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, argued certain forms of speech that promote “racial or gender inequality” could be “disappeared.”

Kagan:
The government, she concludes, may not express its disfavor with an opinion or speaker by burdening them with restrictions or prohibitions, unless it can show that their speech is causing some type of public harm.

“The doctrine of impermissible motive, viewed in this light, holds that the government may not signify disrespect for certain ideas and respect for others through burdens on expression,” Kagan wrote. “This does not mean that the government may never subject particular ideas to disadvantage. The government indeed may do so, if acting upon neutral, harm-based reasons.”

Kagan says that government is also prohibited from treating two identically harmful speakers differently. To do so, she argues, would be to violate what she views as the principle of equality — making the unequal restriction unconstitutional.
