Do you censore the things you say in order to not seem anti democratic/patriotic?

No. I don't have to.

Not at all. I think the longer and louder the truth is told, maybe people will stop caring about poor little Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan and start caring about the real issues. Just maybe...........
Of course, you are marked the moment you say or write anything anti-Bush, anti-NeoCon, or anti-Democratic. And you also get the morons who say that exercising your freedom of speech is treason and unpatriotic. Just hit em back with facts and watch their heads explode from not being able to function without their media scripted misinformation. How fun!

Among college republican types, I'll moderate what I say - but it's not fear of the government so much as dread of having them get in my face! I hate arguing with idiots.
Fear isn't really called for, at this point, for most of us. Too many people have big issues with our government, for it to be really dangerous to trash it.
However, if I were in certain situations where what I said could really harm someone in power, I would watch my mouth - out of fear. I have a child, so I have something to lose. Otherwise, if all the risk was my own, I might say whatever I pleased.

No, not at all. I don't do it in my business, but that's the only place I sensor my words. You should never be afraid of free speech if you are speaking truth. The problem comes when people spew stupid with no ring of truth.

Good grief, no.
This is a country where freedom of speech is Constitutionally guaranteed and I dare anyone to trample on my right to express myself.
Too bad more Americans don't feel that way.

I say what I think. I'm glad to have the right to do so. I hope to influence others into my way of thinking. It's the best way to get things to change.

No...I'm not like most pansies who failed to serve in a forward deployed combat position. I'll say anything anytime I please without much regard to people's feelings or emotions. If you don't like my freedom of speech you're welcome to head for the border. I'll kick the door closed behind you.
This is entirely too long for a bumper sticker but maybe it would work on a t-shirt.

No! I don't censure what I say, I just try to say it with intelligence.
