No liberties are sacrosanct now.

 That's always been the case. There have always been reasonable restrictions on "liberties." Yelling fire in a crowded theater is the classic example justifying limitations on "free speech."
 Another might be standing right outside (or in the middle of) The Yellow Jersey bike shop and shouting liberal propaganda at the top of one's lungs for hours. I believe you'd try to apply restrictions.
 

No, I did not and I have rich experience in that area.
I much prefer argument (rhetoric, not histrionics). That's not always possible, as with an agitated woman with a diaper wrapped around her head screaming at me in a foreign language in our showroom. Meh. That incident said more about her than me.
I did lose the glass in our front door twice, shattered across the Israeli flag. Never filed a police report because there was no possible resolution.
I had my epiphany in 1976 when I read in the Trib about the Nazis being denied a parade permit in Skokie, home of many Shoah survivors. Over a few days cogitation, I concluded the best counter to bad ideas is to publicize them. I still think such jerks should not be prohibited but rather encouraged to pass out their literature and express their deviant viewpoints. Nothing is more humiliating than standing by one's own idiocy.
