[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4023177, member: 45773"] James Madison and Thomas Jefferson were very much for freedom of speech being an absolute right. I knew there was a quote about this very thing from him but couldn't remember it. It took a while to find it. Very good article about Madison and Jefferson and their thoughts on free speech: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nationalreview.com/2017/09/james-madison-free-speech-rights-must-be-absolute-nearly/[/URL] "Our First Amendment freedoms give us the right to think what we like and say what we please. And if we the people are to govern ourselves, we [I]must[/I] have these rights, even if they are misused by a minority." - James Madison “If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.” - Thomas Jefferson [/QUOTE]
