American Censorship

The Fascist Communications Commission (FCC), wants Congress to give it authority to fine television networks for airing "excessive" violence.

FCC Commissioner Michael Copps said that "[t]he pressure to do something on this is building right now. People really feel strongly about this issue all across this land."

Really? Wow, do the people all across the land not have an "off" button? Can they not change the channel?  

The FCC has no power to regulate cable. It is no surprise that they want it.

FCC chairman Kevin Martin said, "We can't just deal with the three or four broadcast channels -- we have to be looking at what's on cable as well."

Imagine that. A bureaucrat wants more power.

We must not give it to him. Or anyone else.
