Watch What You Say
Another despicable effort to chill political speech



Quote:
This is all part of a broader movement to transform rhetorical opposition to goals of the progressive agenda—from gay marriage or immigration reform or welfare expansion—into condemnable hate speech. Because we must, as Ari Fleischer told us back when free speech was sacred, watch what we say. When you watch what you say, you can’t say much of anything. Not if you’re a conservative. Which is the point.


Sound familiar?

Eric Cantor's Loss - FoxNews Admits It's A Win for Democrats Nationally Long Term



Brit Hume indicates it was immigration reform that was the key in this watershed vote, but also wonders too if Democrats crossed over to vote for Cantor's opponent, Dave Brat... as it was an open primary and Democrats would be able to influence the election.

It was also noted that turnout was extremely low but the fact that polls missesd this outcome brings poll accuracy into question. 'The Lord Did It' was one comment regarding the bad weather as one potential reason. Basically FoxNews was all over the place about this, but you can tell they were not ready for this and see it as a basic loss for the Presidency if immigration reform becomes a hands-off issue for Republicans going forward.

Apparently Cantor can have a write-in campaign, and could actually run as an independent... this remains to be seen, but they talked about all the options available to him.

Clinton: Released Taliban Leaders ‘Not a Threat to the United States’


Quote:
“These five guys are not a threat to the United States,” Clinton said this morning in an interview shown on “Today.” “They are a threat to the safety and security of Afghanistan and Pakistan. It’s up to those two countries to make the decision once and for all that these are threats to them.”


Killary is forgetting Pakistan has nukes. And the fact that we will continue to throw money at their problems. If it is Pakistan and Afghanistan problem withdraw our aid also. She is talking out her ass.

@coldjoint,
You're one quarter right sort of. ACA is a Republican win in that it will delay or prevent a single payer system. And because ACA uses privately owned insurance companies to manage payments to the same hospitals anyone else can go to using insurance, it assures loads of profits for 1%ers for years to come.

The last thing Teapublicans want is ACA to fall. They might get roped into a single payer system. But most importantly, they'd run out of talking points and lets face it, that's all they got. Talking points.

Look around and see what the Democrats have. An administration with 0 credibility. An economy on life support. And no signs of anything getting better. Failed policies from a failed president.

This Amendment Could Mean The End Of Free Speech
A significant number of Democratic senators are backing a bill to do just that.


Read more at http://www.westernjournalism.com/free-speech-senate-chopping-block/#zks2RavTzsAGbSRT.99
Quote:

The bill summary, as found on the congressional website, says it is “A joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States relating to contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections.” Per the bill, “Congress shall have power to regulate the raising and spending of money and in-kind equivalents with respect to Federal elections, including setting limits on (1) the amount of contributions to candidates for nomination for election to, or for election to, Federal office; and(2) the amount of funds that may be spent by, in support of, or in opposition to such candidates.” Then in appropriate plenipotentiary arrogance, they grant to states the same authority at the state level. And all of this is done under the guise of advancing “the fundamental principle of political equality for all, and to protect the integrity of the legislative and electoral processes.”

But then, so as to not reap the displeasure of their friends in the mainstream media, they have the temerity to declare that “Nothing in this article shall be construed to grant Congress the power to abridge the freedom of the press.” This is not surprising since, according to a new study of the media, released last month, and conducted by two Indiana University journalism professors, four times as many journalists self-identify with the Democrats than those who identify themselves as Republicans. It’s obvious that the senators pushing for this new amendment don’t mind losing a little of George Soros’ money, as long as they still have the mainstream media in their pocket. They apparently feel this is the only way to curtail the influence of people like the Koch brothers, whom Harry Reid has made a nearly daily sport of verbal dribbling on the floor of the Senate.

Really, really pissed off is a more accurate dscriptor, and deservedly so.\

The problem is political free speech isn't free. You have to pay for it and pay a lot (I realize that's not the sense the First Amendment uses the term in. It is however the hard reality of the 21st century, with speech conveyed via electronic means the Founding Fathers never dreamed of. Butr that's the whole point). Which means that the people with a lot of money, like the Koch brothers, or the fossil fuel industry, who between them far outspend everyone else, have one whole hell of a lot more political speech than you or I do. And THAT's what imperils free speech and democracy. The more you can pay, the more speech you can buy,They're buying and selling it, not us. Go, Democratic senators, you're doin' the right thing.
