Freedom of Speech for Every American is Fantastic and Protected for All of Us

Imagine for a moment, if you happened to live in another country (respectfully) where you did Not have the God-given civil right of Free Speech, as guaranteed and protected by the First Amendment in our sacred Constitution for every American. 

A few-hundred years ago in the 1700's, the sage and pesky, diminutive French enlightenment writer and worldly deep-thinker, Francois-Marie Arouet (Voltaire) famously understood the vital importance of every individual's opinion, when he wrote:


Voltaire's incredible mind and ability to immerse himself in the just cause of individual liberty enabled him to become a world-class philosopher. Fortunately for us, Voltaire penned a mountainous stack of important writings that dwarf the valiant output from those of us today that endeavor to write.


If you ever find yourself craving really good intellectual stimulation, then I humbly recommend reading some of the well-written biographies about Voltaire's life. They can be revelatory and life-changing.

Likewise, when America was born on July 4th, 1776, our imperfectly-brilliant Founders understood the core ingredient that would enable a virgin country like America to sprout, grow, prosper and continually develop indefinitely..so long as Freedom of Speech was protected for every American. 

Bluntly, it is everything. Without Free Speech...we have nothing.


As free Americans, embedded in our national psyche, each of us has the protected right to peacefully express our opinion (unpopular or popular). It is unfathomable for anyone to pretend that their peacefully-done freedom of expression is actually more important than that of their fellow Americans.

Humanity = we are all equal. 

It is critically important for every American that wishes to peacefully utilize their civil right of Free Speech to properly do so. Regardless of your opinion (as ruled upon by the Supreme Court); what you have to say is protected, even if your fellow Americans do not agree with you. 

Whether or not your American brethren concur with your peacefully expressed perspective is irrelevant, because every American has the same protected rights throughout the USA.


We owe it to our fellow Americans to respect and protect each other's point of view, especially when their opinion is different from our own. Please let us never forget that we are all equal as Americans.

Thank God...
