Obscenity
Charles Schumer can’t define free speech, but he knows it when he sees it.
Asked if he is a supporter of telling radio stations what content they should have, Schumer used the fair and balanced line, claiming that critics of the Fairness Doctrine are being inconsistent.
“The very same people who don’t want the Fairness Doctrine want the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] to limit pornography on the air. I am for that… But you can’t say government hands off in one area to a commercial enterprise but you are allowed to intervene in another. That’s not consistent.”
Well, that’s obscene, isn’t it? The marketplace of ideas is set to become a red-light district.
Of course, in his mind—and all liberal minds—this logic is impeccable. Conservative thought is pornographic. What a boob. (I could have found an even pithier word, but it’s not that kind of blog.)

In that case, Senator, go tax-cut yourself. That’s right, tax-cut yourself from here to hell and back. In fact, why don’t all of you and your fellow marketholes cram some 2nd Amendment up your collective markets while you choke on my swollen liberty? Huh? Why don’t ya, huh?!
What a total mother-free enterpriser.
