1. The real problem here is not what he said specifically, but the asymmetry of the First Amendment argument that doesn’t get called out enough. I find Harrison Butkers’ comments to be stupid and out of date, but there is the reality that some people agree with his position because it is rooted in Catholicism and some form of American culture. What irritates me is how everyone will go on and on defending this guy’s right to say it.

   Progressives, Liberals, and Democrats will defend people’s right to say things that they don’t agree with but when you look at conservatives, Republicans, or the rightwing what are they doing? The right is passing laws to force players to be on the field and stand for the national anthem, they are banning books that they don’t agree with, they are passing legislation to run over protesters and we all know what protesters they are talking about. Who was out here defending Kyrie Irving’s 1st amendment when he was getting fined and suspended for essentially liking a post, who was defending Whoopi Goldberg’s 1st amendment when she got suspended from the View for a misspeak?

   No one defends the freedom of speech when it is truly something they don’t want to hear. If a black person got on a commencement stage in front of a crowd of white people and started talking about black liberation theology, no one would be defending the black person’s rights. Try talking positively or in defense of Black people, Muslims, the conflict, immigrants, etc, and see what happens.

   1. I don’t see anyone calling for criminal punishment on account of his remarks. That’s all the first amendment is about. It’s not about respecting other views or not “cancelling” them. It’s disingenuous to hold the stance that all opinions should be respected just because they are views. That just isn’t feasible. Will you morally be obliged to keep a person on a reception job when she wrote on her Facebook that all special needs children should be executed? No.

      1. While I can understand your point to a degree it’s not just about criminal punishment, that sounds good, but is an oversimplification of the 1st Amendment. The 1st Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”. As I stated in my previous post with examples, the 1st Amendment is being assaulted and unevenly enforced across America. Depending on the area, restrictions are being put in place on the press (the whole TikTok scandal is the latest example of this), restrictions are being put in place on what is considered to be a peaceful assembly, etc.

         I agree that speech does have consequences but how those consequences are applied and enforced by society and the court of public opinion is the issue.

2. I mean think it is his right to want exactly what he wants and that to be his belief system. I also think it is whatever woman that wants to go along with it to do so in peace. I don’t agree but i do so in peace as he should be allowed to. That’s all.

3. I hope the male cheerleader that he is messing with come out and said that everything was true. We need receipts because this tea is so hot he should’ve shut it up and ate his food

4. When you make claims like this, you need to come with receipts or else it never happened.

5. And I oop….😁😊😁😊😁
