From The Other McCain - ‘Blood Will Tell,’ as Folks Say Down Home
We cannot preserve liberty by censorship. We ought to have enough faith in the good sense of our fellow Americans to trust them with the truth. Yet there are people who insist that censorship — suppressing as dangerous the voices of anyone who doesn’t toe the line of political correctness — is necessary to save “democracy.” They seem to believe that, if people with bad ideas are allowed to express themselves on the Internet, this will necessarily result in gullible people falling prey to these bad ideas and becoming violent terrorists. Or voting Republican (which, in the mind of the average liberal, is the same thing as terrorism).
That isn't even where it ends. Though I like that paragraph a lot.
It is a long post for a Monday Morning, so grab a coffee. It is worth your time.
