Far too many of Generation Whine seem to believe that Freedom of Speech means that someone owes them a platform, a microphone, and an audience, especially if they decide to strip off their clothes and yell POO POO HEAD. Hence the popularity of YouTube, 'reality' teevee and screaming children in libraries and churches.

No matter what kind of "free speech" you perpetrate, folks, nobody is required to listen to you, read what you say, or kiss your binkie for saying it. That is, the right to speak does not guarantee the right to be heard.

Daddy used to say that 90% of the people in the world don't know you or want to; of the 10% left, half of those will hate you no matter what you do, and 45% will be completely indifferent...

Neal Boortz is an old friend of mine. (By that I mean to say the friendship is old, not that Neal is old). When I was involved in my first serious free speech controversy in 2001, Boortz defended me daily on his radio show. I prevailed in that controversy and I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. That is why I am distressed by some recent criticism of Neal at the hands of members of the pro-life movement.
