But with all the hate speech laws being considered here (and already in place in Canada), this will be standard fare for many Americans.

SIGH... surely NOT what the founding Fathers had in mind, esp. considering the 1st amendment.
Yep. Free speech as the founding fathers envisioned it doesn't exist anymore, now that you're able to be put on trial for saying something that hurts someone else's feelings or isn't a glowing, positive review of someone's practices. They also aren't evenly enforced. I know I haven't heard of very many people on trial or forced into sensitivity training for inciting racial hatred against whites, or discriminating against Christians.
