Democrats Assault First Amendment

Just in case you needed a reminder that Democrat hold no values dear except that value of power, we get proof positive courtesy of the Senate Democrat leadership. A letter sent to Disney management, corporate owner of the ABC network is nothing less than a veiled threat that should the Democrat regain power, that ABC would lose its broadcast license.

Is this the rightwing scaremongering?

I don't think anybody every accused America blog of being right-wing before.

The Senate Democratic leadership just threatened Disney's broadcast license. Not the use of the word "trustee" at the beginning of the letter and "trust" at the end. This is nothing less than an implicit threat that if Disney tries to meddle in the US elections on behalf of the Republicans, they will pay a very serious price when the Democrats get back in power, or even before.

There is a terrific irony here--the mini-series illustrates that the Democrats will sacrifice national security for political advantage. This letter from:


Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid
Assistant Democratic Leader Dick Durbin
Senator Debbie Stabenow
Senator Charles Schumer
Senator Byron Dorgan

...is clearly more of the same. First amendment rights are secondary to Democrat ambitions for power.

Let's accept for the moment that the Democrats are right, and the film is a distortion of the record of the Clinton administration. Is it against the law to lie about an administration? Should it be?

If so, the Michael Moore would be languishing in prison right now.

First amendments rights don't protect your right to tell "the truth", they protect your right to say and believe whatever you want.

This is censorship pure and simple--sitting Senators sending a veiled threat to a media entity to prevent the expression of a point of view they don't like.

It demands action. Will it get any?
