Love Speech

July 5th, 2008 • Comments »

Time for a little rant. If you are easily offended, by all means, read on..

I am sick and tired of all the scared people. I am sick and tired of the insecure, intolerant hypocrites. I am disgusted with people who will do anything to avoid exposure to alternate points of view. There are way too many intolerant hypocrites within the government working diligently to forcefully silence anyone who dares voice an opposing belief. Rather than embracing diversity and listening to the ideas of others, the intolerant hypocrites behave like spoiled brats, stuffing their fingers in their ears and accusing others of so-called “hate speech.” Not only are these people unwilling to hear your voice and listen to what you have to say, these people are willing to steal your freedom of speech and even punish you for speaking your mind. I have yet to encounter one of these pathetic, intolerant people face to face, but the day that I do — trust me — they are going to hear about it whether they want to or not.

Perhaps you have an opinion about a particular group of people? You hater. Or better yet, beliefs about religion and morality? Hate, hate, hate! Politics? Sorry, that’s hate too. Don’t even dare voice your opinions around the intolerant ones or they will do everything in their power to silence, humiliate, and punish you. With locked-down minds, these hypocrites have the audacity to classify certain types of speech as “hate speech.” Because they just can’t handle differing ideas, they plan, scheme, and make deals to remove your right to have them! Say goodbye, “right to free speech” — you are only allowed to say things that the intolerant, close-minded hypocrites allow you to say. Why are these people so unable to even consider the opinions, thoughts, and beliefs of people who are — gasp! — different than they are? Not as “educated” as they are? Not as “privileged” as they are? Is it because the hypocrites are too shallow, scared, and insecure in their own beliefs? I think so.

If you think I am talking about you in this little diatribe, you are probably right. You see, I have opinions and ideas that I am going share with whomever I wish. I really don’t care if your tiny little pea-trap is able to handle it or not. In fact, I hope you are offended right now. Come on, be offended!! I hope that every word I say makes your skin crawl and your stomach turn. If there is one thing I can’t stand it’s people who are too afraid, close-minded, or insecure to hear another person’s point of view. Even worse is that people like you are salivating at every legislative opportunity to remove my right to speak freely. For the sake of your inability to deal with what other people have to say, you are dancing at the chance to steal my freedom of speech and ruin life for everybody. Yeah, great idea! Let’s get the government involved in policing what people can and cannot say. That’s just gonna be great for everyone, including you!

My advice to these pathetically intolerant hypocrites: get over yourself and wake up. Life isn’t worth living without human diversity, differing points of view and challenging ideas. Listening to others is the only way to sharpen your own ideas and opinions. Do you really believe in what you are saying? Is your way of life really the best way to go? Are your ideas truly superior to those of others? If so, then what on earth are you afraid of? What on earth is there to be offended by? Why not embrace alternate and opposing points of view as an opportunity to influence and persuade people of your enlightened philosophy? Instead of hiding like a brainless coward behind some piece of legislation that big brother squeezed off for you, why don’t you join the rest of humanity and engage in the conversation? Oh yeah, I forgot, you not only don’t want to have any conversations, but you are willing to take away everyone else’s rights to have them as well! Pathetic!

And finally, for the record, to all you intolerant, close-minded, legislative-type hypocrites out there: I look forward to the day when you try to shut me up. I look forward to the day when one of your government goons tells me that I can’t speak freely because it might offend some group of politically motivated intolerant bigots. I laugh in your face at the idea of silencing free speech. I mock your attempts to close down opposing points of view. I spit on your efforts to hide behind your thinly legislated walls. Your actions reveal plainly that you have nothing. Your ideas are nothing. Your thoughts are empty. Your words show clearly that your only strategy is to remove freedom, gain control, and force people to agree with you. That’s the way you have always been, and we should expect nothing new from you in the future. So bring it on you pathetic, intolerant, close-minded hypocrites, I am looking forward to laughing in your face.

<note> Thanks for the read — it feels so good to let it all out. </note>

. . . . what caused you to say and write all of this??

#2Aroop • January 31, 2009 at 11:23 am

Your thoughts on this are so much the same we feel here in India. Religious fundamentalists stealing media limelight deciding political actions. Are you an Indian by any chance?

@unknown: why do you ask?

@Aroop: Not an Indian, but still feel passionately about stopping politicians and bureaucrats from trying to censor or otherwise regulate free speech.

…its the same situation we have here in the Philippines..poor journalists!!! We’ve got lots of dead journalists here in our country…

Sorry to hear that, cecil - unfortunately here in the US most of the mainstream media is in bed with the special-interest/money-grubbing pigs. I would rather be a dead journalist with my integrity than a well-paid media whore.
