Freedom of speech is pretty simple to understand really.
You're allowed to say anything you want as long as you:
A - don't incite violence
B - don't incite other criminal activity
C - don't perpetuate blatant lies
D - don't fear the consequences of others exercising their free speech to counter whatever you said
And no, no one is obligated to respect someone just because they hold an official title. This isn't a monarchy.
