Jake, Jack's response is proof enough that nothing was "stifled". And it's his position (and the whole hate speech/hate crime nonsense) that I'm denigrating, not him. And as I pointed out earlier, a tag line isn't "discourse" anyhow. It's simply an expression of the individual's philosophy (or perhaps an attempt at humor). There's no need to respond to it at all. It's not like Jim said, to any specific Democrat, "Hey, if you're a Democrat, you might as well be a member of AQ."

As Voltaire said, "I may not believe in what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
