Free speech or Sedition?

I've been asking for ages why the concept of free speech allows for that which seeks to destroy it.

Found a powerful quote from Ayn Rand:

[The right to free speech] does not demand that private citizens provide a microphone for the man who advocates their destruction....

Better said than I.  

I've always used the analogy that it is illegal to yell fire in a crowded theater and that preaching Socialism was like screaming fire in a crowded nation.  Both seek to panic and destroy.  Both should be illegal.

Can people have their opinions, sure but Socialism is not an opinion, it is a way of life that is contrary to the American way of life.  If people want to privately practice Socialism that would be fine too but not impose it upon everyone which is again, un-American.

People can even leave, since Socialism runs rampant throughout the worldm there are plenty of Socialist choices out there but only one country that is different (or used to be) and that is America.  

America is the lone candle of Light in this world that is engulfed in the darkness of Socialism.

Let us work to keep that light lit, to show the world there is another way, a better way.
