Freedom of Speech and Censorship

Cass Sunstein: "Czar" in Wolf's Clothing by Edward Cline (October 6, 2009)
Cass Sunstein, for all his academic credentials and books, is just another member of the Chicago-Beltway wolf pack. Hear them yelp and howl for "democracy."

"High Noon" for the First Amendment by Edward Cline (September 30, 2009)
Obama cannot but believe that freedom of the press is also a nuisance, that the people have been 'poisoned' by it to oppose his agenda, and that the 'lies' on which that opposition is founded ought to be punished.

Reason is Forever by Edward Cline (September 10, 2009)
Liberals are now awakening to the evidence that President Barack Obama and his web of cronies, pull-peddlers, appointees and assorted parasites -- that alliance of the Chicago and Beltway Gangs -- are planning to move in on freedom of speech with every intention of "modifying" it so that it means only what the government wants it to mean.

The Fairness Doctrine by Sylvia Bokor (June 5, 2009)
The Fairness Doctrine is not a doctrine that supports freedom or individual rights or free enterprise. The only way to deal fairly with it is to prevent its re-instatement, and to repeal it entirely.

Freedom of Speech: Silence is Not Golden by Edward Cline (March 31, 2009)
Distracted by the gutting of Wall Street and the ongoing vilification of all business CEOs, and not just those who were seduced by the chance to profit from subprime mortgages, few people are paying attention to the peril in which their right to speak against Congress and the administration has been put.

"Fairness Doctrine" Equals Censorship by Michael J. Hurd (February 22, 2009)
I'd like to hear these politicians defend why it's constitutional to stifle one area of broadcast, but not another.

The Indecency of Government-Sanctioned "Decency" by Michael J. Hurd (February 19, 2009)
Of course governments must protect individuals from harm. But since when did physical harm -- the kind done by a violent criminal -- become lumped with another kind of harm, the kind practiced by "harmful speech?"

Big Government, not Big Media, Threatens Free Speech by Don Watkins (January 28, 2009)
Contrary to widespread cries that media consolidation threatens free speech, the real threat comes from laws regulating media ownership.

The Right To Win: Tolerance for Gay Activists But Not for Mormons and Evangelicals by Thomas Sowell (November 18, 2008)
While demanding tolerance from others, gay activists apparently feel no need to show any themselves.

Fleeting Freedom: The Indecent Assault on Broadcasters by Don Watkins (October 30, 2008)
The fleeting expletive case before the Supreme Court is about more than broadcasters' ability to air dirty words--it's about whether 'community standards' should be allowed to override free speech.

Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal
by Ayn Rand

Whether you are one of capitalism's alleged champions (Conservatives, Libertarians, etc.), or actually one of its defenders (a rarity in today's culture), or a part of the "humanitarian" lynch mob that seeks to burn a straw man, or just a curious observer -- read Ayn Rand's Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal -- and then judge for yourself.
