Earlier this week, the Editorial Board at Issues & Insights published “The
Murdering Of Free Speech In America”. Below
is their conclusion:
. . . We believe that private
companies have the right to determine who may and may not participate in their
forums, and our free press is at liberty to publish – or not publish – whatever
it wishes. As others have said, it’s just business. It can also be personal.
That’s just the messiness of freedom.
But when social media and the press
are censoring at the behest of the government, when they become agents of the
state, the threat to the First Amendment is real.
Tyrants have always feared and
suppressed speech, and the Democratic Party is lousy with authoritarians who
want not to govern but to rule as a single party. We see this in not only their
pressure on the private sector to rid them of meddlesome characters who express
ideas and make statements they don’t like but in their legislative agenda. They
have an insatiable lust for permanent, unfettered control of government at all
levels.
That’s the “democracy” the
Democrats keep talking about saving in the next election. They crave it so
intensely they’re willing to kill freedom of speech in exchange for a throne.
