Do you think the freedom of easy political expression isn't worth defending? If you think it's worth defending, perhaps your donation check to the ACLU has been signed? If defending easy political expression is expensive, then defending much tougher, more controversial political expression will be even more costly. That's why it's best to nip this in the bud before the TSA stands for Thought Security Agency. (DHS is already trying to get there via proxy measures. ) It'll be a lot more costly to resolve later.
