Joseph Farah's column for today. I'm very worried about the current state and understanding of the First Amendment. Freedom of speech and preventing the government from suppressing speech should be so basically understood as fundamental to true American freedom, it bothers me that so few today seem to understand this principle.

This is already NOT the America the founders envisioned,
and it’s fixing to get a whole lot worse.

"I'm very worried about the current state and understanding of the First Amendment."

The Øbamanistas understand the First and Second Amendments, implicitly. What they understand the most, is that those Rights stand in their path to totalitarian rule. As such, they also understand that those amendments must be subverted, any way possible. That's what they are doing. No surprises here.

I am a somewhat overweight sixty year old, who has already had open-heart surgery.

If this happens...I will take to the streets.

Free speech rights have been extinct for some time because we have ceded their definition to an illegitimate Supreme Court. The vast majority of Americans are content to sit like zombies in front of the Obama perpetual propaganda machine. There is no saving them. Those of us who prefer freedom and truth need to take immediate steps to begin construction of an “underground” network of satellite transmission of radio and a parallel internet that bypasses all government controls. This Freedom Project needs some wealthy benefactors. We need our own George Soros, so to speak. One of the easy first steps that any freedom-fighter must take is to install encryption and proxy software to prevent the Napolitano Gestapo and your internet service provider from monitoring your internet communications.

Bring it on Baby!

Obama will do more to unite conservatives, libertarians and the center-right than anyone since Ronald Reagan.

Now that I think of it, it’s probably good that McCain was not elected.

I've seen other articles showing Internet censorship is on the agenda too and Henry Waxman is in the thick of it.
