Yep I sure don’t want the likes of Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, et. al. telling me what the issues are and then rationing air time for the opposition to speak.

These Democrats are absolutists on certain issues, such as abortion. Well, I’m absolutist on freedom of speech. Let Hillary screech and cackle all she wants as she tells us her view of the issues of the day. Then, let Rush and anyone else have their say. Any restrictions on our freedom of speech is a form of censorship.

Not only that, but it is a huge step towards tyranny. If something like this were to go down then it would be a step towards having them force us to hear their viewpoints. Then comes the issue of forcing the views on the air to be “balanced”. Well obviously they will want to be the final arbiters on that, and it should be abundantly clear to anyone paying attention that “fairness” on the airwaves will pretty quickly become a matter of communist viewpoints being balanced by socialist ones. Anyone who agrees to such a law would be better suited to living in Cuba than in the US.
