Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Mon, 01/11/2021 - 5:49pmI get a lot of demands these days from politically correct socialists who whine and try to tell me what I can and cannot say, and/or how.
As a general rule I don't let anyone tell me what to say or think. I don’t tell other people what to; say, think or do and I don’t let others censor my thoughts or words. First Amendment precedent establishes my right to say almost anything, within reason, and everyone has this same right because government is expressly prohibited, by our Constitution, from abridging any peaceful speech (or thought) in America.
