The Amendment that grants us freedom of speech means that the government cannot restrict speech unless it affects national security. That's why the courts found against the city that had the guy arrested for using foul language at town meetings. That was the government at low level restricting speech.

Also a place of business can tell you to stop using foul language or to leave. Completely legal. If you refuse to leave they can call the cops and have you arrested for disturbing the peace.
If someone joins the military there are a lot of restrictions on speech. It's illegal to make derogatory comments about the president. Sure you can say you don't like him. You can say that you think his policies are stupid. But you can't say that he is stupid.
While the guys cartoons may be right on the mark if it cost the paper to lose an advertiser they can let him go. It's that simple. If you work for CaseIH and you get caught telling a customer that JD makes better widgets they can fire you too.
