"Blogs have a place in the media spectrum but one should not expect them to have the complete freedoms that rags, I mean periodicals like Newsweak have"
Strange, isn't it, that the Dimocrats have conniptions if you suggest that maybe the state has an interest in preventing mothers/monster from destroying their children--that's a fundamental right of privacy, you know--but if the topic is the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms, well, that's on the table `cause it's been so misinterpreted: we need to limit it that `right' to movie stars' bodyguards and others on short lists.
And if your 1st Amendment `right' to speech on Free Republic (those arrogant bastards, man we hates' `em!) embarasses the wrong people, i.e. Mary Mapes/Dan Rather (sigh, & they were doing such *good work*) well then, we've go to look at some reasonable limitations . . .
"Liberals (Kierkegaard said "People" but he meant liberals) hardly ever make use of the freedom that they do have, like freedom of thought. Instead they demand freedom of speech as compensation."
As long as they agree with the content. So let's not get `carried away' with that Bill of Rights, OK? unless we talkin' penumbras. Man, doncha love them penumbras?
