[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 394603, member: 8259"] I was thinking it was not long ago on these message boards some were calling for the Government to regulate what is said on talk radio. I believe they were saying that they thought the government should ensure that all sides of political issues be given equal time on these radio shows. They justify this by saying that the airwaves are public property much like the government owns all the telephone numbers. Our government already regulates speech on these airwaves along with the television airwaves. All this is done under the guise of security. After all some parent less child might overhear something offensive if the government were not listening and providing oversight. We have allowed our government to ignore the constitution and now you claim the government is listening to your phone call and want to fake some sort come apart about it. You willingly give the government large amounts of power to regulate the phone companies. You probably cheered on the government ordered break up of ATT. I imagine you standing on a street corner somewhere holding up a sign saying something like evil big phone or something. [B][I]Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.[/I][/B] [B][/B] [B][/B] Just because I know you do not know but that is from our Constitution. You cheered on the loss of liberty on one hand when your party tells you it is for your security. On the other hand your party tells you that the government is listening to your phone calls on the phone numbers you want the government to own and you really want me to believe that you somehow think this is wrong. If you somehow had a come to Jesus moment and decided the Government should get out of the phone, TV, and radio business then maybe you would have some credibility here. You have begged the government for security at the cost of liberty for years. You have openly stated that you wish the government had a larger role in your day to day life. No sir your only regret is that your party is not the one that passed the law allowing the government to listen to your phone calls. Oh wait a minute it was your party that passed those laws. Even though those phone calls seem to have to originate overseas and I know you do not want to start expanding our constitutional rights to foreigners even though you and WKmac have claimed you do. The saddest part of all this is if you guys wanted to follow the constitution on all issues we would not have these problems. For those of you who want a large government presence in your life why in the world are you complaining when you get it? I understand what Rep. Paul was saying in that article and I can agree with his position and he has been consistent. I think T. Woods misses the issue by a fairly large margin. [/QUOTE]
