Coming from the liberal side of things, I have to agree with the central points made here. While I'm of the opinion that the likes Alex Jones and indeed our POTUS are akin to burst colostomy bags, it sets a dangerous precedent for such aggressive silencing of those views and opinions (I won't stoop to admitting they're 'facts') from any platform.

I'm a silent progressive, in that I don't march or chant or scream people down for what others conveniently label 'inappropriate' or 'offensive' speech. To me, it's disgusting and counter-productive in the efforts of the current Opposition Party to combat policy.

My quick two cents. Thanks for posting. Anything referencing St. Thomas Paine gets my upvote.
