[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 213451, member: 2189"] Hey Sammie, I don't disagree with the point but it goes both ways. When Bush stood up and proclaimed "if you ain't with us, you agin us!" is also another way to stamp out freedom of speech and expression. Anytime someone offers another point of view, the Bush choirboys step up with the "unpatriotic and terrorist lover" labels and ready to cast them to hounds of perdition for the simple fact that they have a different point of view and are willing to offer it. I wonder what the attitude here would be if someone suggested any complaints about Central States or the union was heresy and should be met with the harshest of measures? And there is no 1st amendment protection in this case because the 1st amendment is a prohibition against the Federal gov't from limiting the individual the right to speak freely especially when it comes to gov't policy. Free Speech is just that, the freedom to speak your mind and opinion anytime you see fit as it pertains to gov't policy. As a citizen we do have that right just as you have the right to disagree and say why. The 1st amendment was put in place for the very reason that King George (the 18th century version) also gave his own "if you ain't with us, you agin us" speech and the results were a revolution and a freedom few in the history of man have enjoyed. Most of that has been wiped away so what little is left needs to be harshly defended with no apologies except to our forefathers for wasting away what they gave us. Democrats seem to be in the lead on pushing this fairness doctrine but make no mistake, if the tables were turned and Rush, Sean and Mike were libs and the universe as we know it was turned upside down, you can bet the very people today crying for the fairness doctrine would be in total opposition and those opposed would be it's champion. Circumstances always dictate the flow of politics, not principles as they want you to believe! JMHO [/QUOTE]
