Limits?

I'm fairly certain that the dolt who I've been arguing with over here hasn't a clue about what he's saying, and he's just A-OK with breaking out the legal dictionary and doing all sorts of defining and refining of what rights are and what they are worth, all in an attempt to make the world a more orderly place in his own mind.

Let me clarify with a quote from that last link, via Phil at RNS:
...freedom of expression doesn't mean the right to offend,

Make no mistake, this is surely that EXACT same type of mind (both Mister Guy and this Maxime Verhagen [Foreign Minister, no less]) that brought us fellows like Stalin, Hitler and FDR; authoritarians who'll do ANYTHING to get what they want, and if some citizens have to die along the way, well that's just too damn bad, but more profoundly, it's the ideals of Liberty that get trampled in that same process.

Sickening, but it's all right there for anyone who is awake to see it.

I'm afraid that the glow of that very ideal that led men to prosper in this country is, by and large, no longer understood by many, and therefore, will die a miserble, whimpering death before I have the opportunity to naturally expire from this world.

Prepare.

Yes it does - or how does he explain all that NEA crap like "Piss Christ" and a host of other offensive and disgusting things?? Maroon!

The left may or may not have ascendancy in the future. However, technological trends do not favor the central state. The striking power gap between the central state and networks of individuals/small groups is shrinking due to those trends.

These changes-if they continue-may result in the considerable weakening in the central state by the end of the Twenty-First Century. The Left isn't going to get its wish. Neither will the Islamofascist scum.
