Also: How can you be conservative if you do not advocate for conserving the rule of law,...
Regarding “Trend not conservative — it’s autocratic,” : Michael Taylor’s exceptionally cogent analysis demands that we understand our Constitution, and that in particular we focus on the complicated functions of the First Amendment. Amidst too many confusing cries and overwrought protestations about preserving American freedoms, we keep missing a key axiom of liberty, namely that it cannot exist without matching responsibility.
A similar axiom, often noted, is that we can never have peace without also ensuring justice. So likewise, we will never deserve our freedoms without also tying them to our responsibilities. The corollary is that we won’t ever deserve free speech without assuring responsible speech. To shout “Fire!” in the crowded theater is plainly irresponsible speech. Yet, even now we face an awkwardly designed and poorly managed cyber theater.
And even now, when individuals and corporations speak freely, rightly and responsibly, public officials autocratically try to punish them or slander them with irresponsible speech. As Taylor points out, “Our system depends on getting slapped down...” It is high time for us to exercise our prerogative for responsible democratic action.
