I simply read the article and noticed that the gubmint intended to fiddle around with the first amendment. The article seemed to do a reasonable job of pointing to the mechanics of how they intend to tweak the first amendment so I posted it. Its really no more complicated than that. I guess i'll go back to the cns site and look at the front page and see what they are all about. I read the article, posted it, and closed the link. But i'll go look at it.
And i'm not as afraid of the right as some of you guys apparently. Most of the damage is being done from the revolving door of the left anyway and the venn diagrams I posted in the venn diagram thread make that pretty evident. The right doesn't scare me any more than the left because as far as I am concerned they are two wings of the same bird. Main difference between the wings is that the left is sneakier and thus more dangerous. I don't buy into this concocted two party scenario because its only a damn circus anyway.
The "gubmint fiddled around with the first amendment" and in fact rendered it moot when the Supreme Court allowed unlimited corporate spending on elections. Free speech exists for those who can afford it. When governments at all levels designate caged free-speech zones, when they pepper-spray seated protesters, when they infiltrate peaceful dissident groups, when they put gag orders on recipients of subpoenas, they screw the first amendment. Ending Citizens United and corporate personhood might undo some of the damage.
And of course "you're not afraid of the right" - you are of them. All you do here is to spread their propaganda and pretend, 40 times in a row now, that you didn't pay any attention to the source. Again, I'll care less once you stop pretending. Show some spine, you little wormy lying shit.
