Many of my generation's hippie-dippie love children utilize their right to criticize a government that does not seem likely to retaliate against them. This generation are the authors of hate crimes statutes and other speech offenses, especially on college campuses.
These same "freedom-lovers" look to disarm their fellow Americans. Whether it is the mudane issue of saving ourselves from armed robbers or the largely "theoretical" self-defense from a tyrranical government, the right to bear arms is seen by the righteous friends as immorally brutish.

Excellent point. So in Austria, the remedy for a cruel government that threw people into concentration camps, is a stupid government that throws people into jail for having opinions about whether or not people were actually thrown into those concentration camps.
I wonder if it's now against the law to deny that David Irving was thrown in jail? I'm getting vertigo.
Just to make clear: Austria and the Austrians are officially NOT qualified to criticize Arnold Shwarzenegger or anyone else for doing anything. Austria does not belong to the club of modern enlightened nations. Ironically, I think old Adolf Hitler would be proud of his countrymen.

It is definitely good to have a constitution, it is even better when the courts and politicians are actually aware of the fact that you have a constitution. It seems as though the latter is the problem here in the US.
Speaking of backward EU member-states putting people in jail for thought crime, Italy not long ago put a preacher on trial for "willingly deceiving the public trust," a high crime. Apparently he claimed that Christ was an actual person, ironically not something permitted in the home of the pope. Is anyone else familiar with this case? Looks to be the same idea as the Irving case.

Thanks for throwing in the 2nd Amendment.
