Some would claim that the
left is behind all
censorship efforts, using
political correctness to stop people from using
offensive speech.
Some would claim that the
right is behind all
censorship efforts, using
family values to stop people from using
offensive speech.
Both statements are simultaneously exactly
correct and exactly
incorrect. The
fact is that neither the
left nor the
right have a
monopoly on
censorship. Neither end of the
political spectrum has any
love for
free speech or the
First Amendment.
Demonizing the
left for
censorship while giving the
right a walk only encourages
conservative censors. Demonizing the
right for
censorship while giving the
left a walk only encourages
liberal censors. When it comes to the
First Amendment, the only
Good Guys are the ones who encourage
free speech, and the only
Bad Guys are the ones who encourage
censorship.
been listening to too much political crap on the airwaves lately...had to get that off my chest...
