I thought that the US was a pro free speech country.
The two core principles of Conservatism, of which Christian Fundamentalism is a part:
In the Religious Conservative's mind, free speech means they get to say whatever they want about whomever they want (I get to do what I want). At the same time, free speech limitations suddenly apply when you have anything critical to say about their religion (you have to do what I say).
“Some people’s idea of free speech is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage.”
Winston Churchill.
I was being mildly sarcastic, but thank you for what you’ve said. You’ve given me a greater understanding.
I didn't say only Christianity. I said Christian Fundamentalism is a part of Conservatism.
I didn't say that either. I think you need to reread what I wrote; it syncs just fine, and I think you're having trouble parsing it. Conservatism is the umbrella. Christian Fundamentalism falls under that umbrella, as do other things. That's why in my original comment I said:
Added emphasis to clarify that I was very specific with the words I chose: "A part," not the whole of my point. Later on, I mentioned Religious Conservatives, which would cover every religious person who is also a Conservative, including but not limited to Christian Fundamentalists.
But yes, you get my general point.
It happens. I'm wordy.
