Comments on: Anti-war Comment Gets Fields Censored by Fox http://skepticum.com/anti-war-comments-gets-fields-censored-by-fox/ A Godless Skeptic's Notes on Liberty, Religion, Society, and More...

Bad leadership results into bad policies. It's just that simple. If we continue to elect bad leaders we'll continue to loose liberties. So we've got some choices to make, not only when it comes to whom we elect, but also when it comes to how vocal we are about what we expect our country to be. If libertarians, and atheists and liberals sit back and play nice expecting things to just get better we will drown in the mass of manipulation the conservatives are pouring down on us. Just today I read about this <a href="http://www.wmtw.com/news/14139329/detail.html" rel="nofollow">woman who won't return library book on sex-ed </a> because she thinks the book has inappropriate content. We just can't stop books from being published or offered because we think our personal jesus tells us they're inappropriate. People who don't want to read "inappropriate" shouldn't buy or borrow the book. Censor yourself all you want but don't fuck with the intellectual potential of others.

I guess we have some evidence he might be correct right here. It really disturbs me that 55% choose censorship over liberty. Plato argued that democracy eventually devolves into tyrrany.
