Think-tank Republicans needed to be thinking about this 15 years ago, at a minimum.

This is an extension of the censorship in the fields of oceanography, meteorology, education, and even biology for the past several decades. May God have mercy on us.

A soda fountain opens on Main Street. Our courts classify soda fountains as “social institutions”. As such they are prevented from discriminating against people on the basis of race.

The Constitution protects our right to speak freely without government intervention. However, the Constitution does not require that private entities provide us with platforms to speak freely.

Merging these two concepts shouldn’t our legal system start recognizing internet forums as public institutions? Because internet forums exist as public sounding boards shouldn’t our courts start protecting our right to speak freely?

Buy books, favorites in hardcovers if you can afford them. Once digital becomes the norm, you will only see what they want you to see. Just like the “news,” it will be like a postcard written in pencil, as my CompSci prof said about email.

Our courts have ruled that public internet forum owners are protected from liability for the things posters say on their forums. If an internet forum owner picks and chooses what gets said on the forum, at minimum, shouldn’t the owner lose all liability protection for what gets said?

What Tocqueville wrote as a warning. The Left saw as a gameplan.

The quality of a democratic republic will never exceed the quality of the press.

I am streaming Rush on WMAL. While Rush is talking about the Hunter PC/emails and all that goes with it the WMAL website and station break news are COMPLETELY IGNORING THE STORY. It is surreal

Too late... At least 80% of our original Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms & liberties have long since been eradicated...

Crying over spilled soup, much?
