Caution, Rats at work!

Just when you thought it was safe to utter "Free Speech", the rats begin nibbling at your toes. Yes, the Senate thanks to Senator DeMint (R., SC) passed the Broadcaster Freedom Act .....but , recognizing that free speech can be halted by other means, Senator Durbin (D., IL) got an amendment passed (57-41 all Republicans dissenting) which states the following: “To encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership, and to ensure that the public airwaves are used in the public interest.” Their strategy is clear, use back door methods to achieve their goal to control radio content. In fact Durbin and Senator Stabenow (D, MI), another outspoken advocate of controlling the airwaves, BOTH voted FOR the DeMint Bill. Now that's chutzpah! Now they have the cover to say they supported free speech while , like rats in the night, are chewing away at the precious bone marrow of our basic freedom. We can not be too vigilant!
