Do what you want on cable or satellite. The PUBLIC AIRWAVES belong to
everyone and it is ANTI-AMERICAN to allow them to be dominated by one
point of view. To me,


Where in the constitution is there something that says "equal press"
or "equal speech" when you find that just post it here and I will agree
with you. Until then, you are ****ing up a rope.

You and I have "free speech" and if you want to use it on any media, all
it takes is money. If you want free speech that costs zero then get soap
box and stand in the town square. The Air waves don't belong to this
Nation any more than Germany owns the airwaves, does the government also
own all the limited light waves?


Can the Government force you to turn off your lights, or force you to
share your light with someone that has no light?

Well, it's interesting you bring that up. The answer, is "yes."

Is it Constitutional, no. But they can do it.


Examples.

In Palm Beach, there are local ordinances with fines and other
penalties attached requiring ocean front property owners to turn
their lights off, and block indoor light from reaching outside the
building, to prevent turtle hatchlings from being attracted to away
from the sea to their deaths on land.

In the area where I live, ordinances, with fines and other
penalties attached, mandate that lights falling outside the property
line, security lights, coachlights, even your auto's headlights
while the vehicle is on the property, must be turned off.

On the other hand, in the event of a power failure, a local
community has an HOA that requires by covenant, with fines attached,
that homeowners, renters, or guests who are generator equipped must
share a minimum of 30% of their total continuous generating capacity
with homeowners, renters or guests, who are not generator equipped,
whether the owner of the generator can meet his/her own needs while
sharing, or not.

Your point about the Constitutional guarantee of Free Speech, and
the nature of Free Speech, is well made.

But, governments, local and otherwise, have few limits should
they desire to escape them.

You beat me to that one, D. Peter Maus.I was going to say, The fed govt
can do any damn thing they please, and they are getting away with it
too!

Mostly so, anyway.

There is no God. If there was we'd be nuclear glass.

Where is Issa's brother? Is he being held incommunicado like Dan Quayle's
pot connection?

He's probably in jail.....for stealing cars....

If those are your criteria, then no political speech of any kind
would be permitted.

Here's the razor: The Constitutional guarantee of free speech is
specifically intended to protect speech which is not popular and/or is
critical of the leaders or political entities in or out of power.

This speech is guaranteed protection precisely BECAUSE it's not
popular, and/or critical of the political entities in or out of power.
Popular speech and/or supportive speech of those in power needs no
protection. Because it's popular. Because it's supportive of Power. And
the founding fathers, having escaped from a land where any speech on a
whim could be made a criminal offense, specifically sought to protect
the freedom by each citizen to speak his/her mind without fear of
retribution in both public or private venues.

To silence speech, for any political reason, is contrary to this
Constitutional guarantee.

Even if it's "promotion of lies, distortion, slander and political
ignorance."
