I guess it depends what the subject matter is
and what they believe. If it is truthful it is good.
If it is just an ignorant rant, it is not good.
Unfortunately people believe many fallacies,
because they have not had the experience to know any better.
...I will always support the Deeper Truth.
If their speaking out is respectful and not hurtful then I respect it. I may not agree, but nobody agrees with everyone's views.
It depends on what they're speaking out about, for all of us, I think. I'm not going to applaud or admire racists and bigots, but I do recognize that in this country, they have the right to speak that way. I'm not sure that I agree with it, to be honest. Personally, I would like it if we had stricter regulations so that people would be protected from hate speech, as they are in some other countries. More and more, I'm learning that I really wasn't born into the country whose laws best suit me. If only I had the resources to relocate! ; )
Good question, Rosie! Happy Saturday!
That depends on what s/he has to say, doesn't it? Suppose s/he "speaks out" in favor of some racist pinhead cause. Should we "applaud/admire" it or should we condemn it? I'd suggest we condemn it whereas you or others might be of a differing opinion. :-)
THINK before you post, Rosie.
That rather depends on what he/she believe.
If she believe that there should be NO separation between church and state then I might mention the constitution.
I agree with your response in principle even if no such separation is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution. The 'Wall of Separation' was mentioned by Jefferson in a letter to Danbury Baptists who presumably thought that Anglicanism would become the official religion of the country.

I admire courage and passion if I see it. What I don't admire is when I detect superficial overtones that really say in effect that someone needs a reason to draw attention to themselves (And not the cause). I don't have to agree nor like the way something is expressed also. Too often the person speaking out isn't enlightening us as much as condemning us.
I respect the right of speaking one's mind. Whether I applaud/admire/condemn that in any given situation depends entirely upon what is said.
