Poll: 85 Percent Say Freedom of Speech More Important Than Not Offending Others
by TOM CICCOTTA24 Aug 2017
An overwhelming 85 percent of Americans say freedom of speech is “more important than making sure no one is offended by what others say,” according to a poll published by Rasmussen Reports on Wednesday.
A new poll released by Rasmussen Reports on Wednesday revealed that over 85 percent of American adults believe that the right to free speech is “more important than making sure no one is offended by what others say.” A mere eight percent said they believe that guarding against personal offense is more important than protecting free speech.
73 percent also agreed with the famous line often attributed to Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say but will defend to the death your right to say it.” Another 10 percent disagreed with that statement, and 17 percent said they are undecided.
The poll reveals that there is bipartisan agreement with regards to freedom of speech. Despite overwhelming support for speech rights, Democrats are slightly less supportive as a group of protecting speech for those they disagree with than are Republicans.
Additionally, 47 percent of respondents said they believe that most college administrators and professors are more interested in getting students to toe a specific political line rather than to participate in a free exchange of ideas.

This an interesting event that I noticed on Penn's campus, students commenting on how out of control PC has become, and now, if faculty begins to take a position, there should be a social correction shortly.

"Princeton professor warns new students against 'group think and conformism'"
In today’s climate, it’s all-too-easy to allow your views and outlook to be shaped by dominant opinion on your campus or in the broader academic culture," the letter says in part. "At many colleges and universities ... it leads [students] to suppose that dominant views are so obviously correct that only a bigot or a crank could question them."

The silent majority has know this for decades and usually remains quiet. It is not until things go full retard that the silent majority lets it's presence be known. Enter Donald Trump.
The silent majority spoke as one and hired Mr. Trump to throat punch the fake climate change, PC crowd, global elite (corrupt socialists), hollywood tools, billionaire pedophiles, socialist Euro trash, snowflakes, antifa bitches, white supremacists cowards, corrupt FBI, criminal aliens, foreign drug gangs, fake media outlets and out of control socialist colleges & universities and it's working.
America is not coming apart at the seams, only the left-wing progressive, liberals are coming apart. That's to be expected.
I would never fear any moronic "domestic terrorist" groups, they are a joke to me. The ones to fear in this country is the silent majority. They will bring change. Piss them off and feel their wrath, both left and right.
Right now the silent majority is busy getting folks back on their feet in Texas and if you've taken notice there is no racism going on, no screaming and yelling, no snowflakes melting, just folks assisting each other.
America is doing just fine.......

Amen to that.....Thanks TS, a very good statement and so true. :o
I didn't think that, but it's true: the Trump victory is the silent majority making themselves heard through the only voice that really matters: the ballot box.
Well said, TS.
Thanks.
