The fight begins, McCain, Bush, and the 527 adds
Free speech is probably the most important basic right that Americans have in our great nation. Any attempt to suppress this basic freedom of ours is treading on dangerous ground. I for one am not in favor of the recent MoveOn.org adds that have appeared in the last 12 months, but I must as an American defend there right to run these adds. As a result of my beliefs I must also support the right of the swiftboat adds to continue. Now it appears that Bush and McCain have decided to team up agents all 527 adds to impose certain laws that would prohibit financial contributions to these organizations throughout more government regulations. This is a horrible miscalculation by both of our political party's. Free political speech has already been suppressed through the Campaign Finance Reform bill signed by our President, and I feel that with futher legal action, we may find ourselves utterly speechless in the realm of political speech within the next decade. Free speech for Americans was implemented for one, and only one reason , by the founding fathers of our country. The right for the average hard working Americans to take part in the political process of our nation. Without the right to speak out against our politicians we may find ourselves in a society that controls the people, in every way possible within the next 25 to 50 years. This is a process that must be stopped at all cost. Freedom of speech is our most basic right. Without it, we may find ourselves totally powerless to a government that has no pride .
In short, there is no appeasing the left within our country. Then why must our leaders on the right feel the necessity to do so? One side can attack a canidate as much as they would like in my opinion. This is politics. These kind of things have been going on since before the days of our forefathers. No matter what court injunction is filed , no matter what laws are passed regarding these kinds of adds, there is only one truth. People whom want to speak out against a Canidate will always find away, and they will always find a loophole in the system. They will always attempt to circumvent the law by certain loopholes within the system. The day will come when we are all fearful of talking about the actions of our polititions. Vladimir Lenin once said that "the goal of socialism, is communism" This may be one of the most honest quotes I have ever heard from this Man. Maybe when can learn through is. I cetianly hope that through our understanding of history, we will not make the same mistakes.
