Got that right. Bush 1 was the king of censorship.

Are you serious ? Gross out punkers and video games is your main concern ?

NO, not at all the Libs are more into things that impact all of us economicly, hit us hard in the pocket book.. save the spotted owl, caribou in anwar, cap gains, energy effects the cost of everything food, clothes, work ect..


Lemmie see you get to that MM concert when the transportation costs you twice the price of the ticket, but by then the ticket will be sky high per concert overhead, oh well you can always stay home and fire up the playstation...SHOOT!.. forgot you couldn't afford the electric bill, just sit in the dark and free willy...

Wow you guys really jumped the gun. This is no different than when Bush made his comment about being a dictator. There's a deeper meaning in both statements that if both sides would just get their heads out of their arse they wouldn't get their panties in a bunch. To believe that Bush actually wanted to be a dictator or Rockefeller wants to curb free speech is insane. He just wishes that we didn't have so much divisive diatribe on the air and that by cutting out all the BS from the media we can actually work at fixing problems.

All I'm saying is that the "Conservatives HATE Censorship" stuff is really not true. Games, TV, CDs, art doesn't need to be taken off the shelf if they have "bad" content in them. Social Conservatives never seem to get that...

I'm more concerned about the recent Brz speech where he clearly stated it is easier to kill a million than to control a million.

Everybody who keeps up knows the Rockefellers are completely into power and control of the human race. David says so much quite often. So does his family though they are less quoted.

You can bet there is already a list of IP addresses of posters critical of the governments actions.

Regretably, no. 90% of them would still be watching American Idol or the ball game and not even know the "infotainment" programs had gone down.

I have to agree with you on that one, and this poses a question: where can we go for news today?

An abundance of you left-wing posters have never been exposed to news, so you would be considered poor judges by everyone else.
