WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE FOLLOWING: (I figure is if I make if larger and bold you will see that I what I am asking for is YOUR opinion.
Very simply put, do you believe that people have the right, under the umbrella of 'Free Speech' to publish;
Child Pornography
National Defense secretes
Truck routes for disposal of Nuclear Waste
Secret Service Plans for protecting the President
Everyone's medical records
I'm not stating any of my opinions. I am not making any 'statements' that can be evaluated for truth or fiction. I am not accusing anyone. I am not condemning anyone.
I am asking you to show us YOUR position on these five issues as they relate to Free Speech. Nothing more. Nothing less. And I'll bet dollars to donuts you avoid the answers once again...

You're trying to misrepresent what Kenny says in attempt to "prove" that Kenny is not speaking for free speach, but rather that he is speaking for publishing of very specific things.
It's intellectual dishonesty to pretend Kenny must be pro those things you mention because he speaks of the principles of free speech, and how - if we took your arguments to heart - it would be policing people's thoughts, and since we don't want to do that, we have to tolerate some thoughts we don't like. That's the price to pay.
One can defend someone's rights even if not practicing them, or even without condoning the actual usage of such rights.
That is, I'm all for gay rights, but that doesn't mean I'm gay.
I'm all for abortion, but that doesn't mean any and all abortions sit right with me.
I'm against a society of snitches, but that doesn't mean I don't think you should report your neighbor if you think he's selling drugs or worse.
