Ughh!

Well, this ruined my day. The part of Obama's philosophy, and liberalism in general, is the antipathy and occasional malice towards the idea of free speech. As I've said before, no society can be truly democratic and open with any sorts of limits on free speech. The "Fairness Doctrine" is just another multiculturalist, PC, oppressive act - it perceives all arguments and positions to be equal to each other in validity and insists that they all share the same time on radio. Why not let the good arguments prosper and the poor ones suffer and be taken off the air? Why not let the people decide what they want to listen to? If free speech has to suffer, the Democrats do not mind.
