I may have the right to march down mainstreet screeming that all liberals are morally bankruptc, traitors and should be shot. But that does not mean that it would be helpful to our country if I did so.

I think what is helpful to our country is when we have full and open debate about issues of national importance, like wars, and when our political leaders consider that debate when they formulate policy. I think the debate produces better policy, just as competition makes markets work better.
