Is free speech dead - not quite yetMinistry of Truth, Obama-style
Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
- George Orwell
President Obama has been agitating for the authority to criminalize political opponents since he took office. First there was the raft of DHS reports profiling conservatives as terrorists. Then came the push for a new fairness doctrine, subsequently refined to be achieved in diversity regulations to be imposed on local radio stations. Following these attacks on free speech was the much debated hate crimes legislation, considered by many to be a back-door path to silencing critics of the administration. But, while dangerous to free speech, none of these draconian policies could do as much damage as new regulatory czar Cass Sunstein's shocking proposal to ban "falsehoods" -- a term left up to the Obama administration to define. If Sunstein succeeds, free speech will be truly dead in America . . .

The fact that you are still reading the American Stinker proves that free speech is alive and well! Let us also not forget that it is the likes of you that want to limit our freedoms as to what we can teach in school, who we can pray to, and what we can watch on TV!

Whah? What limitations do you imagine I want to restrict teaching in school and on TV? I think it's time for another pill.
