It's obvious that some people will never get it and will use freedom of speech as an excuse to do just about whatever they want.

People using the 1st to justify saying what ever they care to are fairly ignorant of the Bill or Rights in the US Constitution. The Bill of Rights do not grant freedoms they limit Government which is why they are not called the Bill of Freedoms.

They also do not grant any sort of protection from persecution, only prosecution..

That said..

Freedom = Doing what ever you want. (Persecuting people making bad decisions is also part of how Freedom works)

E.G Someone has the freedom to be a moron and someone else has the freedom to point out the moron.

Not do whatever you want, but certainly say whatever you want without fear of prosecution from the government. It is 100 percent provided in the BOR.
