Why doesn't anyone understand that freedom of speed h, religion, etc, only protects you from the government?

Our schools suck or people are just really dense.

On the other hand, I'm kind of glad they do for two reasons:

1) HOPEFULLY they'll get educated and share that information with their equally ignorant friends.

2) I take mental notes. If I see that someone doesn't even know how many senators come from each state, or what their damn rights are, then I know better than to pay attention to anything that they say on this forum when it comes to politics. As soon as I see their names, I scroll right on by.

Because liberals are in charge of public schools and they either don't teach civics or they don't teach it correctly.

Or, more likely, they don't know it themselves.

I am fairly certain those people using "free speech" to spout outrage on behalf of that Duck Dynasty guy were NOT liberals.

And what does that have to do with the discussion at hand - which is why many people don't understand that freedom of speech only limits the governments power to suppress speech?

"We want joe!!! We want joe!!!! We want joe!!! And then have 15 employees exercise free speech and storm at the CEO office snatching the list of new hires and adding in a new name to the payroll under freedom of expression
why not then just make every job a government job, and eliminate the private industry? when you start telling companies who they can hire and fire, and what they can or cannot do at all levels, you then have a government that is in reality running the company, and that my friend is not freedom it is fascism.
