    No I am saying I agree with Knowles that some speech should be cancelled. As has been done in the Past. Such as with Communists.


    Are you saying you dont get that.


    Does removing her from the Olympic Team stop her speech? No it doesnt!

    My post was directed toward Schlubb or whatever the Hell his name is.

    My point was there is no inconsistency in protecting her right to free speech and wanting her removed from the US Olympic Team. She can say whatever she wants, but by being on the US Team, she is representing the entire nation, not herself. Turning her back on the national anthem would be like working for company and publicly telling people their products and customer service suck. No employer should have to tolerate that and it would and should be grounds for dismissal, regardless of whether it is her right to speak out.

    The same is true in this case. If she is going to trash the US, she does not belong on a team representing the US in international competition.

    Ah my bad.....I thought it was addressed to me.


    I dont think the left should even comment on free speech after this last year with all they have done. Knowles said sometimes stupid speech just needs to be shut down.

    I don't like him as much as I do Shapiro or Candace Owens, but he is definitely on my short list of people to listen to.

    I have no issues with the things Shapiro says. His delivery is uncomfortable.

    Candace Owens often delivers her message with a sense of humor.
