In Defense of Defending the Indefensible
The second letter on this page appeared in yesterdays Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The writer is obviously an unAmerican fool. Allow me to quote:
Permalink
Back to the ACLU. This group values fundamental principles over actual moral decisions. To defend a group such as NAMBLA should destroy the ACLU's credibility at once. As for card-carrying members, they should be ashamed of themselves if they have not yet complained about the support or "protection of the free speech" of NAMBLA.I wish to respond:
The claim is that the free speech of this group is being defended. The bottom line is, a group that advocates these kinds of relationships does not deserve free speech. A line needs to be drawn somewhere, because principles cannot be applied to reality on every occasion without a deleterious effect somewhere along the way. People need to recognize that, yes, there is still a difference between right and wrong.
Dear Mr. Ciganik,The end, asshole. I mean, how obvious does a point have to be? I could go on quoting Voltaire and citing stories about Nazis and Skokie, but really - what more need be said?
Free speech is not free if we choose what speech to allow.
