You decide which camp is more obnoxious. If we're counting press clips, in politics the year 2015 was dominated by Donald Trump. The liberal press is emotionally conflicted on this one.

One ... MOREDavid S. D'Amato: The Most Liberal Value - Free Speech

by Andrew Sirios. The rise of the left, the demise of the west. Free speech is not something that people would normally see as a

support and opposition to free speech can shed a lot of light on what’s
happening now in the West. The first thing that needs to be noted
