It's amazing how with conservatives, the answer for everything is more government intrusion into people's private lives. Why don't conservatives hold the First Amendment as sacred as they do the Second? They want to police every aspect of everybody's lives. But God forbid we actually have a debate about the one thing that actually is the problem.

I have a better idea. When tipped off about a nutty student, take it serious.

And... the "Party of Small Government" strikes again.

At this point the GOP has become a parody of itself.

It's just one example of the kind of stuff people will think up who are against all or nearly all forms of gun control

Sean Hannity has never been a "small government conservative." He was a key talking head cheerleader behind the Bush's Patriot Act/surveillance state and a proponent of foreign intervention. He was quick to lambast Ron Paul's presidential campaign and the liberty movements in both 2008 and 2012. There is nothing liberty-minded about the guy.

Spying on students? Education publisher Pearson monitoring social media activity | Fox News

Yeah, I know the last is Fox News. That doesn't change the fact that Pearson is monitoring social media for negative comments about its tests.

Will make some of you happier.

Our founding fathers didn't see the freedom of the press extend beyond the printing press they couldn't forsee such technological leaps and bounds...

Sound familiar?

I guess Hannity wants to restrict the privilege of freedom of expression to himself and a few of his buddies.

Thanks for the post.
