an FEC poweful enough to regulate speech offensive to us, say like howard stern, is powerful AND corrupted enough to regulate OUR speech if it offends them or makes their base of power feel threatened.
Which made it clear that you were ascribing actions of the FCC to the FEC. Come clean on that score, at least.
gotta be honest with you.. I see them as EXACTLY the same monster. one gets a cold the other says atchoo...
I would also mix in the IRS and the BATF on the same bucket.
I should have said it clearer...
I mean the current executive branch of the Bush administration which is overseeing and coordinating this unprecedented move using the same tools, agencies and powers across the board... and doing so with nearly complete republican/conservative approval.
yes.
I am disgusted with all of OUR TEAM at this point in time.
And it is clearly showing, i believe it comes from the top and permeates the entire executive.
and that it will eventually be directed towards us.
the goal...
controlling free speech and putting the brakes on liberty... especially political liberty.
in my view of late, they have all turned into rats.
that may not be your view.
but it IS mine until I see some movement to the conservative side of the equation... smaller government, more freedom, less intrusion... and LOTS LESS MONEY out of my (and probably YOUR) wallet.
