Free speech

Here is an example of free speech working the way the constitutions lays it out. The NY Times published a special Easter message as follows: "In this time of war and violence, of oppression and suffering, I propose we pass over something else: God," he began, before claiming God is "hateful," full of "brutality," and, if mortal, "would be dragged to the Hague." Most people would not feel comfortable with this and many would be downright angry but this is the kind of speech that the first amendment was designed to protect.
