White House Threatening 1st Amendment Rights

[Spiffy]

I would also point out that the numbers of "shoe in" Reps and Senators is rising. Even Boehner looks like a guaranteed re-election. Reps no longer Represent anyone but themselves, in most cases. The current moves by the RIght in the House had only purpose, to get people re-elected. Boehners own people said so a couple of days ago. His siding with the Left was an issue to guarantee his Speaker position. So dont expect anyone to come running to help out of Washington.

 

The FCC has been regulating speech in the press since the FCC was formed, but this is far more insidious. They are not regulating speech, they are going to tell the press what to say. 

 

There have only been two people (Some would consider unlikely proponents) that have REALLY fought for the 1st Amendment over the last 40 years. Howard Stern and Larry Flynt. Both have continuously warned of what would happen if any speech was regulated. Well, its happening. 

 

The Press sure as hell havent fought for it, they have become nothing but Propaganda lap dogs. 

 

They kiss your ass for 8 months and  you get to kiss theirs for the rest of the term.

I would say "this is a scary thing and we will no longer be able to trust the press or freedom thereof". 

 

Except we are already there. So it no longer matters. This Communist is doing whatever he wishes to do and no one and nothing is going to stop him. 

I want to agree 100% with this, but just couldn't bring myself to hit the "like this" button. it just seems weird , someone on Facebook will post "my mother died" and 50 people will "like" it.
