No Freedom of Speech for Political Blogs

September 13th, 2005

Guess this is why I am a republican, although some forward thinking democrats are behind free speech as well.

The concern that paid campaign bloggers would run a free for all is a little extreme. They will get found out. A guy I know, a staunch democrat, who actually does get paid to blog does not parrot the party line. Its pretty easy to see that his blogs were not an extension of a special interest group or the democratic party. I think most web folks will get to the bottom of any screwball bloggers in short order. (or maybe I should clarify, most cynical web folks will) and maybe thats the concern. I’m not sure, anyhow, it seems the libs are very very scared.

So the question is where do we go from here. Maybe someone needs to setup a blog service in another country where free speech is held above all. There was a guy that bought an island in international waters that provides free speech web hosting. Unfortunately I can’t seem to remember where it was. Its unfortunate when one has to go off shore in order to practice the rights of the first admendment.
