• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold. We are here to discuss them in a civil political debate. If this is your first visit to our political forums, be sure to check out the RULES.

The Freedom of Speech only applies to government entities; Federal, State or Local. This involves governmental property or money. It does not apply to private property, facilities and services.

Indeed. By Freedom of Association, SCitizen or anyone else can be banned on any forum.

You can restrict someone's free speech without breaking US law - whether you should is a different matter.

In USA there is much less Freedom of Speech then in Russia. Anyone in the media saying anything politically incorrect or offensive will loose his/her job. In Russia people have memory of Stalin's era, so they value Freedom much much more.

I'm not sure what that has to do with my comment and I'd rather my name wasn't associated with such blinkered nationalism.

I am Jewish -- I was not Russian and I did not become an American. In USA there are huge limits on Free Speech. In former Socialist nations, people understand the value of Freedom.
