Paul Hsieh says:
“…We still have free speech in this country.”
If he gets a veto-proof majority of the Senate, expect one of the first things Pres Obama does is sign the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” back into law. Bye-bye talk radio. And he doesn’t really need to get 60 democrat Senators to do that, because he already has a handful of RINO’s like Snowe, Collins and others that he can probably count on.
His campaign and leftwing groups have already made aggressive attempts to intimidate both the rightwing internet blogs and conservative public organizations into silence with threats of legal action and IRS audits. Wait until he actually has real power to be able to do this.
He has told his supporters to “get in the face” of republicans. Is there any reason to think this will stop if he wins?
The left already controls the speech of all college and public school students through PC and outright speech codes. They already have the media and the entertainment industries on their side.
Talk radio and the internet are the only two effective means that the right has to express itself, organize and communicate. When those are stifled, we will have no means to get our views out at all. How are we supposed to fight back against all that? Word-of-mouth?
This election is critical to keeping our freedoms. It’s too bad that all we have is McCain in the breech trying to hold back this tide. Even if he wins, you never can tell when he’ll go all “maverick” on us again.
We may have to hope that the military will not stand idly by and allow this to become another Reich or Venezuela.
