Freedom of Speech, to me, simply means that I can say whatever I want without fear of persecution from the government.
It does not mean I can say whatever I want on someone's website.
It does not mean I can't be fired for misrepresenting the ideals of my employer.
It does not mean I can't be judged for what I say and/or my actions.
As I said before, to me, it simply means I won't be arrested, beaten, or killed for speaking out and protesting. It particularly means, that as a CIVILIAN, that I can protest the actions of our government and president.
Note: I am speaking as if I were a civilian. Obviously protesting the government as a soldier is a bit more difficult.

free speech per the 1st amendment is the ability to speak against the govt without worrying about being prosecuted for it... it does not apply to private companies, citizens reactions or forum moderation.

America isn't easy. America is advanced citizenship. You gotta want it bad, 'cause it's gonna put up a fight. It's gonna say "You want free speech? Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage and advocating at the top of his lungs that which you would spend a lifetime opposing at the top of yours.

I assume you're not referring to the part of the speech where he says that Americans owning handguns is a threat to national security, and that "I'm going to get the guns." That part of the speech seemed a bit off topic.
