Has America's fascination with Free Speech come to an end?

Tyranny doesn't like free speech, as your article points to.

No but the regime in power now seem to think it is not a right anymore, hence the NSA spying, the wiretapping of a journalist AND his elderly parents.

Funny how liberals on here have forgotten than the press could disagree with Bush all day long but get to close to real criticism of Obama and you get wiretapped.

The problem is US always justifies that their right when they massacred many in Middle east.

Free speech has always beena. Issue there, cus also because of racism..

Yes. I was recently fired for a comment I posted on Facebook. I knew the NSA was spying on me, but I didn't know my private sector employers were.

When Gilbert Godfrey can not tell a joke about Japan and Godzilla... free speech is dead.

And your additional details were before my time here. Back in those horrible Bush days, I had a good job...

Liberals seem to have a problem with it (unless you agree with them). The rest of America still believes it a holy right.

There is no "fascination" about it, it's a right guaranteed to us in the Constitution, but liberals don't like it...

No
