America has always been opposed to totalitarianism – a world where the government regulates every aspect of the individual’s life, including speech.
In fact, our founders felt so strongly about free speech that it was guaranteed it in the first amendment in the Bill of Rights, and generations of soldiers fought and died for it rather than have us go the way of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia.
