Interesting that conservatives and libertarians seem to favor the free exchange of ideas and information. There probably are people that want to silence left wing outlets (CNN,MSNBC,NPR) but for the most part, that group is pretty tolerant of the dissemination of propaganda (as long as its privately funded..., public funding understandably drives 'em nuts). On the other hand, "progressives" seem to be far quicker to favor of the censorship of ideas. I haven't thought it through completely, but I have the vague notion that it's back to the DNA of individualists vs. collectivists. I don't think it ever occurs to conservatives that they would have a vote regarding the possible silencing of the opposition, but it never occurs to collectivists that there is another (and possibly superior) interpretation.
That is the biggest pile of malarkey I have ever heard in my life. You can twist the facts all you want and I'm sure your buddies will dog pile the liberal for you too, but it doesn't make it true. Ever hear of a liberal burning books? yeah, neither have I. Its the so called conservatives who are always burning books and censoring information because to be truthful, people have to be kept ignorant to believe the conservative lie.
And saying anything about propaganda from the left in this day and age is ridiculous. Fox News and the entire Murdoch empire is wholly dedicated to providing 24/7 nonstop conservative propaganda at every level.
Back to the point of my post that you commented on. This is the wrong forum to post political and religious diatribe, conservative or liberal. It should be a place to discuss boats and not be goaded into political arguments. And frankly I think your rather rude to try and turn my post into another conservative vs. liberal free for all.
