@RobSchneider Exactly how is your 1st Amendment rights being curtailed? You're obviously free to spout your ignorant views anytime you want.

@RobSchneider You are free to say what you want. People are free to say what they want about your misinformed, ignorant opinions as well.

@robschneider freedom of speech means that the government won't penalize you for speaking – not that you aren't responsible for your words.
