We as Americans, as an obligation, need to pay closer attention to the First Amendment and ensure that the internet remains a relatively free and open medium. We also need to ensure that radio remains as unregulated as possible. We do not need a “Fairness Doctrine” because we already have a “Constitution.” It is befuddlng that it is the left that is behind most of this government regulation of information. While we have arguments over whether or not a piece of artwork crosses a certain line, or whether what someone says is “hate speech” or not our most basic rights are being taken out from under us. Witness the MSM’s undeniable protection of Barack Obama. In this country there should be no such legislation containing the word “hate.” Is it an ugly word? Yes. Is it a despicable attitude? Yes. Is it protected under the constitution? Most definitely yes. It is a social issue that has absolutely no place in government. It is an ugly link in the chain of freedom that must remain to preserve our beautiful abilty to be America.
