I really wish all these people who want to be ruled by a king would just fuck off to a country that has one. Thailand’s pretty and has amazing food. They’ve even got lèse-majesté laws to stop people from upsetting your bootlicking souls.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Awful people with awful politics have First Amendment rights too. Because if they don't, neither do you. So no, that doesn't matter to principled defense of free speech. I feel blessed to have grown up in Skokie, with this baked in to my upbringing as a matter of local cultural history.
