“Active liberty is particularly at risk when law restricts speech directly related to the shaping of public opinion, for example, speech that takes place in areas related to politics and policy-making by elected officials. That special risk justifies especially strong pro-speech judicial presumptions. It also justifies careful review whenever the speech in question seeks to shape public opinion, particularly if that opinion in turn will affect the political process and the kind of society in which we live.” IfsKindLawPoliticalTurnsStrongProcessLibertyOpinionRiskSpecialPolicyExampleShapesSpeechAreasCarefulActiveRelatedOfficialsJustifyReviewsFreedom Of SpeechPublic OpinionJudicialPresumptionElected OfficialsLive FreePublic OfficialsPolicy Making Author:Stephen Breyer

“We have battled in America since the century's turn to bring to nothing any and all Christian influences and we are succeeding. While we today seem to be kind to the Christian, remember we have yet to influence the 'Christian world' to our ends... You must work until 'religion' is synonymous with 'insanity'... It is only necessary to work incessantly upon the official, using personal defamations, wild lies, false evidences and constant propaganda to make him fight for you against the church or against any practitioner.” WorldKindEndsSeemsTodayChristianAmericaRememberLyingTurnsFightingChurchReligiousInfluenceCenturySucceedEvidenceConstantPropagandaInsanityOfficialsBe KindYou AgainIncessantlyDefamation Book:THE SOVIET ART OF BRAINWASHING: A synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics Source: THE SOVIET ART OF BRAINWASHING: A synthesis of the Russian Textbook on Psychopolitics
