Democrats Strong Advocates of Freedom of Speech?

The American Spectator's Washington Prowler reports a disturbing but not terribly surprising bit of Liberal Hypocrisy.

You remember Liberals, they're the ones who so loudly proclaim themselves to be the real advocates of freedom. They are the ones who slyly refer to Orwell's book 1984 whenever they discuss Christian Conservatives and the Vast Right-wing Conspiracy, implying the threat that should these ultra-right-wingers get control of our government, then freedom will be a thing of the past.

I have routinely claimed the reverse, stating that it is the Left, not the Right in America who represent the genuine threat to freedom. It is they on the Left who come up with the approved lexicon for public speaking. Certain words, usually chosen by those same Liberals because some special interest group has complained about the way in which they were referred to.

So now we come to the Spectator article:

Her Royal Fairness

SALEM'S WITCH TRIAL

According to two members of the House Democrat Caucus, Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer have informed them that they will "aggressively pursue" reinstatement of the so-called Fairness Doctrine over the next six months. In January, Democrat presidential candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich announced that he was going to pursue the Fairness Doctrine through his Government Reform subcommittee. That announcement was greeted with silence. But now, Pelosi has moved things to the front burner.

Much of the doctrine, regulated through the FCC, was largely dumped in 1987. Other parts of it, related to "personal attack" rule and the "political editorial" rule, remained in place until 2000. The personal attack rule required anyone "attacked" over the airwaves to be notified beforehand and given an opportunity to respond. A similar rule was followed for the political editorial, where a broadcaster endorsing one political candidate or issue had to give similar time for a response from those not endorsed or supported.

The decision to press for re-establishment of the Fairness Doctrine now seems to have developed for two reasons. "First, [Democrats] failed on the radio airwaves with Air America, no one wanted to listen," says a senior adviser to Pelosi. "Conservative radio is a huge threat and political advantage for Republicans and we have had to find a way to limit it. Second, it looks like the Republicans are going to have someone in the presidential race who has access to media in ways our folks don't want, so we want to make sure the GOP has no advantages going into 2008."

So there you have straight from the jackass' mouth (Pelosi's senior advisor). The Donkey Party is trying to silence the opposition, and they are attempting to do so by passing a law which clearly violates the First Amendment to the Constitution-of course we are all well aware that Democrats care nothing for the Constitution or the Bill of Rights unless it serves their own narrow political purposes.

The use of political office to pass laws aimed at silencing dissent and aimed at silencing individual citizens shoud be grounds for expulsion from Congress. It is a gross abuse of their legislative powers and a corruption of the entire legislative process. Dennis Kucinich should be declared an anathema by all freedom loving people for his intent to muzzle the free speech of those with whom he disagrees.

If Nancy Pelosi is behind this movement as her "senior advisor" is quoted as stating, she too should be removed. She has alread committed a crime by violating the Logan Act in acting as a diplomatic agent of America against the specific request and desires of the President who alone in the Constitution is given the power to negotiate with foreign governments.

The clearest abuse of power by a politician is the attempt to use their position as a legislator to assist their party in winning elections. The fact of this effort makes clear once again the even the Democrats know they are incapable of competing with Republicans on a level playing field.

Wake up America, Democrats are attempting to steal our government and our rights to free speech (among others-say the right to keep and bear arms-for example).

Long Live This American Republic!
