No, the freedom of speech is one of the most important rights in a democracy along with the freedom of press. It allows several voices to rise and be heard. But it does not means that you can say whatever you want whenever you want.
You can find the foundations of the freedom of speech in the first amendment where it says:
<em>"Amendment I
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Congress </em><em>shall make no law </em><em>respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or </em><em>abridging the freedom of speech</em><em>, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances" </em>
But there are exceptions to the rule. You can´t say whatever you want as the supreme court have showed in several cases. From this we can extract some categories where the first amendment doesn´t work:
- Incitement: When its directed to inciting or producing inminent lawless action.
- False statements of facts: there are some types of this unprotected according to the supreme court: those said with <em>"sufficiently culpable mental state" </em>can be subject of criminal or civil liability. Secondly libel and slander and finally negligent statements or facts can be subject of civil liability.
As a conclusion we can say that the freedom of speech is a fundamental right in a healthy democracy but we must take care of it. We can´t say whatever we want, well actually we can but you have to be responsible of your acts.

Neutrality is experienced in Wilson's motto and in his opinion American foreign policy would not benefit from participation in the war. The road to war began just over two months earlier, when the German government tried to resume its war policy of underwater attacks without any restrictions on the coastal waters around the British Isles, including American ships. Given the ineffective armed neutrality that had been useless to defend ships against attacks by German submarines, on April 2 in a speech before Congress Wilson told parliamentarians that they should consider German actions as a declaration of war against United States people. Two days later the Senate voted in favor of Wilson's resolution and days later it was approved by the House of Representatives. It was then that on April 6, 1917, the president signed his official statement. The United States entered the First World War.
