The List Of Shame, The List Of Traitors

IHateTheMedia is taking a look at the US Senators who would like to impose a Stalinist control over the Constitutional right of Free Speech in America:

Which Senators voted in favor of censorship…uh…we mean the Fairness Doctrine?

By now you’ve probably heard that the Senate approved an amendment a few days ago to outlaw the “Fairness Doctrine.” Republican Senator Jim DeMint’s amendment passed by a comfortable margin of 87-to-11.

Although one would think it’s important to know which senators cast their votes in favor of censorship, we can’t find a single news report that calls out their names. So we’ll do it:

Bingaman (D-NM), Conrad (D-ND), Dorgan (D-ND), Feinstein (D-CA), Harkin (D-IA), Johnson (D-SD), Kerry (D-MA), Reed (D-RI), Rockefeller (D-WV), Sanders (I-VT), and Whitehouse (D-RI).

In addition, Kennedy (D-MA) did not vote, but does anyone doubt that he would have joined them Infamous Eleven had his health been up to it?

Please note that there’s a “D” attached to ten of the eleven of the names. “D” as in Democrat. “D” as in unDemocratic.

I thought it would be interesting to go a step further and dig up some information from OnTheIssues.org in order to see how the unDemocratic Senators who would like to trample over the First Amendment are scoring on the Second Amendment: the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. This is what I found:

With the (marginal) exception of a single Senator, here is the conclusion: these low life politicians who want to introduce censorship and stifle free speech also want our guns.
Why?
Democrats want our guns because they know that as long we have the means to defend ourselves against the tyrannical government envisioned by them, they cannot and will not succeed to suppress free speech nor the rest of our civil liberties.
The only thing that stands between Democracy and Stalinism in America is the the Second Amendment and the guns we own as free citizens.
As for these despicable unAmericans, they deserve nothing but our contempt.

Amazing how those ACLU loving liberals embrace a bill that does just the opposite and restricts liberty. Huh,could it be that liberals are full of crap,but want to actually take freedom from us?

Yes,they can.

And...no,we won't let them.
