Free Speech Obama Style: Free to Agree With Him

Worth a look! The question is why does it take so long for this kind of stuff to come out? Where was the news media when this stuff was going on? Oh yeah, in Obama's corner. So much for a "free press" being the watchdog of the public good. Pravda was nothing compared to this voluntary cheer leading from the traditional media. It's time to restore the idea that freedom of speech includes the freedom to disagree with the presumptive consensus on anything. The notion of conventional wisdom, politically correct positions, and other expressions of right thinking as opposed to that evil wrong thinking is fundamentally antithetical to freedom. The speech censors are looking to control everything under the name of such things as "fairness" or "honesty" or any good sounding thing that can be wrestled into looking like something good while the slight of hand behind the scenes is thought control and rising tyranny.
