I don't have the right of free speech in giving financial support to
free speech in a political campaign. A judge doesn't have the right of
free speech in his court if some one interprets it as a religious
message. Someone decides to burn a flag, he is protected by others who
say it is `free speech'.

I wonder whose definition of free speech the "American Way" folks are
advocating, and more importantly - why?
