Once again proving that many politicians in the current U.S. government enjoy using the United States Constitution as toilet paper, two extremist anti-American Senators have started pushing for legislation that would outlaw free speech in the U.S. media completely.
Two top U.S. Republican lawmakers on Tuesday said they want to apply broadcast decency standards to cable television and satellite television and radio to protect children from explicit content.
The legislation these anti-freedom clowns are pushing, according to Reuters, would make it illegal to say anything on cable TV, satellite TV and radio, and even pay per view, that you can’t say on broadcast television. That would mean that almost all programming on HBO and other cable programs, as well as Howard Stern’s show on satellite radio, would be illegal in the United States.
No broadcaster would be allowed to broadcast anything that might offend anyone ever if the extremists have their way. That is nothing less than the death of free speech for the media. Imagine a country where all books, TV, radio, art, and the internet have to be completely free of any material that would offend anyone. That is the country that these extremists in the government and private sector are pushing for.
The best line in the article is this one, a quote from anti-freedom Senator Ted Stevens :
“There has to be some standard of decency,…no one wants censorship.”
We must censor everything you see, hear, and read, but no one wants censorship. I guess what he means is that no one wants it, but he is going to do it anyway, for your own good. You may want freedom, but it just isn’t good for you. The government needs to protect you from free speech because it’s too dangerous.
I am saddened by the number of “Censorship” updates I’ve made in the last few days. What is going wrong with America lately? When did the extremists take over the government and when will the people stand up and take the country back?
