Did ANYONE else just finish watching "Meet The Press"?
Heard one of the 'guests' casually mention something that chilled me to the bone.
He mentioned that something would have to start happening to begin
restricting the loose hate speech coming from the right; giving as an example,
Rush Limbaugh. Looks like the left is still on their agenda of silencing the right &
what THEY consider is unacceptable speech; i.e. anything that doesn't pass the
liberal stamp of approval. Will be interesting to see if the sheeple will allow the
1st amendment to be removed from the constitution. Considering how nonchalantly
this was discussed, it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

The dependents of the gov will IMO follow along where they are told.

Unkle has been trying to stifle one side or the other since the dawn of our supposedly great government... Nothing new to see here...
Now if something would get Rush to shut up, I think I might stand behind that... Wonder if they could use him to power some of our new wind energy farms? Just a useless waste of space in my eyes..

And by 'waste of space', you are referring to the wind farms??

Because if not, then it's plain to see that you've already bought into "the plan"
that certain speech from certain people or certain ideas expoused, can and
SHOULD be restricted or eliminated altogether. That my friend, isn't solving
the problem . . . it IS the problem!

Trust me.. I believe in being able to say what ever you want to say without worrying about it being PC... and I do say what I want when I want, and I sure won't stand by and let them take that right from me...
However... Rush.. that blowhard is a different story... He's worse then Breightbart was. If he had something intelligent to say, then maybe it would be a different story. Idiots like Rush is what ruins it for everyone else and why they want to try and shut people like him up... Yes, it's good he talks, but he's always talking out of his butt.
I believe in very little government involvement in our personal lives, and get so upset every time I see them trying to take something else... I do make phone calls, send e-mails and I do get involved with protests....

So you are for free speech ....

You bet can't have it both ways. And if it wasn't for Rush, Breightbart, Hannity, Beck, and YES even FOX News. And Starting in Jan Herman Cain takes over for retiring Neil Boortz.
We NEED people like them or:
This country would be not only socialist, and so far left that one foot would be over the edge of the Grand Canyon, and the other one would be in quicksand.

I do believe in free speech ...
It's his right to say what he chooses. It is also my right to choose not to listen. There are other people who can say the same thing without being offensive but he's pretty much brought being offensive to an art form.

If free speech is taken from the constitution fine,if thats what it takes to make the right and most of the middle to stick together, and say enough already ,this is the last straw, and we are taking our country back no matter the cost.Join us or get run over, but our employees in Washington is fixing to manually get evicted tried, and sent to prison.
I understand that we are a country that supposedly abides by its laws and its constitution.Our employees have trashed them, and no longer abide by them, so we the people must do whatever it takes to get things back in order.
If we send our men and women over seas to fight and die against our enemies over there,why in the Sam Hill won't we fight our most dangerous enemy here at home,namely Washington DC politicians.All of those that believe the ballot box is the way to go after Tuesday,you are either dreaming or either crazy.
With the exception of the mentally challenged votes,Obama got the Hispanic vote for promising them citizenship,free handouts and jobs.He got the Black vote because he's half black and he's gunna take what CRACKERS have and give it to them without them working for it.
He got the Muslim vote, because in his heart he's all Muslim and will open all the doors they need opened to spread the Islamic religion across this nation and have sharia law take over this once free and Christian nation.
I know all this stuff must happen before the NWO takes effect,but I hate to go down not lifting a finger to stop it.
Besides whats inevitable doesn't necessarily mean it has to happen right now.If God will reach His hand out and stop the sun and the moon for a day for old Joshua, in order to defeat his enemies,I feel sure He will lend His help to us also if our hearts in the right place, and we want to do his will.And that includes among other things,no gay marriage and no killing little babies.Those that approve of these are Gods enemy.
Joshua 10:12-14
King James Version (KJV)
12 Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies.

I believe in free speech. For example, I've read a ton of hate speech directed at the left for months upon months right here on this site, but it's a conservative site and I believe you all have the right to voice your opinions. For the most part, when I've voiced mine, nobody has run me off. He can say what he wants, but no court in this land is going to regulate Rush Limbaugh. You're all safe to spew your vitriol for as long as it takes to get over the election.

Oh yes there are things that can STOP Rush and others. Ever heard of The Fairness Doctrine? They not could bring it back up but make it even stronger.
Quote:
"The elimination of the obsolete Fairness Doctrine regulations will remove an unnecessary distraction. As I have said, striking this from our books ensures there can be no mistake that what has long been a dead letter remains dead," Genachowski said in a statement on the FCC website.
"The Fairness Doctrine holds the potential to chill free speech and the free flow of ideas and was properly abandoned over two decades ago. I am pleased we are removing these and other obsolete rules from our books," he added.
The Fairness Doctrine has been in place since 1949, and required licensed broadcasters to share airwaves equally for competing political points of view. At the time of its creation, only 2,881 radio stations existed, compared with roughly 14,000 today.

Hypocritical much?
Can anyone name an entertainment personality with a larger daily audience? I don't listen to him everyday, I've got a life to live, but I (along with millions of others) do enjoy his show on a fairly regular basis.
If enough people wanted to listen to left wing slant there would be shows on the air (without stealing from childrens' funds like Air America). It would be interesting to see if NPR could compete in the marketplace without government subsidies.

defines the term 'hate' speech? Have attempted over the years to get this identified,
but it ALWAYS seems to come out differently than what Webster's meaning gives.
Feel free to elaborate as this may well be eye-opening to both sides.

Y'all for this do realize that the end result would the closure of sites like this one right?
Any site that teaches the gov is not the answer would be shut down as hate mongering eventually.

Hating what someone speaks, writes or communicates is NOT hate from the source. It is the choice of the receiver to interpret the message as hate and simply interpreting does not make it a reality.
Hate speech is a notion to control people from speaking up and living in fear.
Threatening speech where a message to cause harm to a person or group is covered over intimidation laws. There came a NEED by a group to broaden laws against intimidation and cohersion as people were not breaking those laws but the goal was to muffle them thus Hate speech laws with no clear define borders (when a border is "undefined and blurred there is a lot of injustice allowed--or encouraged)

Oh....you're all for freedom of your speech, but when it comes to someone who is saying things you don't like, well, then its ok to stifle their free speech? Yep, another example of why we're where in are in our country today!

And "talk" about ratings as well for ALL talk radio hosts. WOW what we have to listen to the next 4 years as this country goes down, and down and down with O at the helm.
THANK GOODNESS the R's still have control of the house.`!
I HATE to think of what would be happening IF the Dem's had once again majority in both.
It would not be a pretty sight.
