Why do the two major political parties want to uphold some of our rights, and supress others?
What I mean is:
GOP looks to hold back free speech, witht he FCC and all.
Dems look to hold back the right to bear arms with their gun control initiatives.
What up wit dat?

Contrary to popluar NRA misconception, guns actually kill. Let's keep them out of the hands of felons and lunatics. Okay?
As for free speech, moralists hate it. They want only their ideas communicated. That't not what the First Amendment is about.

The GOP wants everything controlled by them and want to be put in a position where the power doesnt have to be shared with anyone, let alone democrates. it scares me how they(gop) totally forgets about the things that this country was built on like the constitution. allowing pollution, torture, the trampling of you rights, breaking the law and getting away with it like its okay... the republicans in power are some of the most corrupt people on the planet.. and all the blaming of bill clinton and john kerry isnt going to change that bush is crazy, stupid and religious(lethal combo).

Hello?!. Do you remember Tipper Gore and her "Washington Wives" club?
They claimed that rock music was responsible for an increase in rape, teenage pregnancy, and teen suicide.
Their goal was to seek the CENSORSHIP and rating of music.
Now I'm not saying that some "controls" aren't in order, but I take exception to you saying that Republicans want to control free speech when their is clear evidence of someone on the OTHER SIDE doing just that!

For the GOP, it is about speaking with a "unified" voice
For the Dems, it's about preventing needless gun accidents and deaths

the only reason companies can do it particularly is by technique of the fact progressives accelerated the capability of the state staring early final century. And the upward thrust of state capability has persisted unabated. with the aid of government exertion of administration on the industry financial gadget that are completely exterior of its Constitutional authorization, businesses had to become in contact in government to guard themselves from the whims and vagaries of the political parasitic type. This in turn gave them capability. it particularly is barely via retoring the government to its constrained powers and constrained scope that we are able to start to wrest administration of this u . s . a . returned. the bigger, greater centralized and greater effective a central authority gets, the greater it particularly is controlled via wealthy and effective particular hobbies (SEIU, Trial attorneys, instructor Unions, and so on). This has been actual of all government in human background, and it particularly is why the authors of the form made a constrained government with particular obligations.
