What I want to know is what can we do about it. It seems to me that if you are not ready to stand and die for freedom of speeech then freedom doesn’t mean much to you. Am I over the top on this?

Absolutely not. I think we all need to sound the alarm. Free speech more than the second amendment keeps our liberties in check. You can’t promote ideas with a gun. Well, I guess you could to a lesser effect but that isn’t the point. If we lose our free speech, we lose our freedom. It’s that simple

But let’s also look at facts in this present economy. After running for a few weeks on their current high, the dems will have to look at the market place. If they reinstate the Fairness Doctrine what will happen to advertisers? radio stations? In their giddiness will the dems willingly bankrupt another segment of this econmy out of their own desire to censor speech? If they do and if the Republicans remain silent, then the Republican party is also the enemy.
