Why is the 1st amendment realistically only apply to the left?

Your opinions would be appreciated posted below.

I am at a loss of understanding why it is that those of a progressive mindset seem free to share thier opinions regarding thier political views openly, yet more conservative minds must feel reluctant to share thier own for fear of the emotional tirade that follows.

This has been on my mind for awhile.

Why do conservatives feel the need to withhold thier views yet withstand sometimes illogical beliefs or "feelings " of those on the left?

There is so much I could write here, but looking for opinions from all of you.

They're narsistic selfish little pricks.

The right is free to voice their opinions, it's just that they know if they do often it will be met with irrational and sometimes violent retort.

Because the old saying is true:

Conservatives think liberals are wrong while liberals think conservatives are evil.

Look at how every republican presidential candidate is called either a fascist or hitler. We all know hitler was evil. You can't have a debate with someone evil so therefore it's not much of a stretch to claim evil people shouldn't be listened to.

Because if you do an angry mob will show up, call you racists, demand your house, best the shit out of you, if you refuse to leave your home will be burned down and your life threatened, when you try to defend yourself you’ll be arrested by the very people who you were sticking up for and a liberal DA will throw you in jail. Meanwhile the actual criminals will be questioned but only to build a case against you and move on the the next privileged white persons home. I guess it’s a way to get the nice suburban homes cheaper and make the suburbs demonrat and more colorful.

Because the left will chase you down through the internet and demand you are fired or your kids shamed or god knows what.

10 points to you for the old saying. I had never heard that before, but will certainly use it, if allowed, a lot in the future.

Liberals are sheep, easily manipulated and controlled to do as they are told. Logic, reason, and a linear thought process are removed from the equation so they can be directed to do the bidding of those who know how to identify and control them.

I like to think those of lower intelligence, poor self esteem, and a general lack of individual accountability and motivation are the preferred targets for those with their own lofty agendas. Sadly, this country is rife with these types that have been slowly cultivated with careful calculation over time.
