Doesn't the constitution give us the freedom of speech? Does the constitution say that in order to have the freedom of speech, you must have another person ther to give an opposing viewpoint.
If we have the Freedom of Speech, then we have the right to speak on anything we see fit, no matter how others may feel. Am i correct? I believe i am. This means that you have the rights to speak on anything you want to, no matter if you are at home, in a business, at school, at court, no matter where you are in this country.
So why would it be Constitutional to squash peoples freedom of speech. Well our government is trying to do it again. Back some years back, one of our political parties didn't like it that their political enemies were getting more airtime to say what they wanted, while the other party didn't get to run their mouth as much as they wanted. So a policy was put into place called "The Fairness Doctrine". This policy made it to where if you had a Republican on TV then you had to give the same amount of airtime to the Democrats.
This is a stupid policy that was put into place because the situation wasn't FAIR. Well life is not fair, never has been, never will be. But the constitution is fair, because it gives the same rights to all people. Everyone has the right to speak on what they feel necessary, at all times.
Well the FCC chairman is now saying that the Fairness Doctrine could be extended to the internet. This could force websites, blogs, etc to make sure that opposing viewpoints are also put on. This would mean that i would have to a Republican and Democrat person give their point of view on this blog on ever post.
It is my opinion that government involvement and regulation will do nothing but take more of our rights away.
We as citizens under this great constitution have to fight against the political policies such as the fairness doctrine that will take away our rights!
Viva Liberty!
