Don't you all like with this couple, the Queen and King of our our country.... our Freedom of Speech is in jeopardy? and the left cheering people losing their JOBS over it..
I've never seen anything like it..
That's true. You never have seen anything like what you're describing because it only exists in your vivid imagination. Well, yours and a few hundred thousand reality-challenged individuals, that is.
After all, do you really think that if yours and others' freedom of speech was truly threatened as you seem to think that the gov't would allow self-serving men like Rush Limbaugh to use the public airwaves to spew endless streams of nonsense for no other purpose than to enrich himself? Do you think thousands of message boards (like this one, perhaps) and blogs would be allowed to proliferate while spreading every conspiracy theory under the sun?
There are few other places in the world where this endless parade of silliness would be permitted to exist unchallenged in any official way and thereby create an endless stream of criticism of the gov't without the gov't taking action to control it. And that's true not just because certain gov'ts (like Russia) and their leaders (like Putin) would feel threatened. It's true because it turns actual governance and the creation of public policy into a three ring circus where a morsel of common sense is constantly competing with a smorgasbord of disinformation. It's no wonder that it's so incredibly rare for our gov't to fix problems in this current environment when everybody and his brother is throwing wrenches into the machinery, trying to prevent anything from getting done.
