Your view: Has the left given up on freedom of speech? – Joplin Globe

So columnist and Democrat Gene Lyons (Globe, Dec. 15) is aghast at several of the positions of Republican Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie. (Hes particularly torqued at his continuing support of former President Donald Trump.)

Im certainly not surprised.

Heck, I even have a few issues with Massies positions on certain topics.

But unlike Lyons, I support his constitutional right to express his opinions on a whole range of various topics. And unlike many of Genes Democratic friends, I am totally against his opinion that he ought to somehow be shut-up.

How did this party become so opposed to freedom of speech when it doesnt fit with their narrative?

Its certainly happened over a very short period of time, it seems to me.
