Can you believe that's what the President of the United States said today in his speech to the U.N.??
Americans have always cherished the Freedom of Speech. If you want to say something critical or even vulgar about the prophet of Islam (or any other topic for that matter), then have at it. I'm shocked that Obama would even suggest otherwise and I'm worried that so many people are lying down and lining up to reelect him.
Just keep in mind that every terrorist attack has led to an added layer of security with added restrictions in what we're allowed to do. The latest terrorist attack in Libya (or protest against a video if you're convinced by Obama) may well lead to limitations in what we can say since it could provoke thugs in the Middle East. Obviously, Congress would never go along with something so ridiculous, right? Well, they don't have to. Just like amnesty for the "dreamers" and eliminating work requirements for welfare recipients, Obama will just issue another executive order. In fact, it's no stretch of the imagination for Obama to declare the removal of that ridiculous youtube video a matter of national security. The ability to make such modifications to the Web would be trivial to add to the executive order on cybersecurity, which is almost ready according to Janet Napolitano. Then Obama wouldn't have to bother asking youtube to review whether troublesome content is "in compliance with their terms of use".
Where would it stop? Clearly, "slanderous" comments against any religion would have to be enforced for fairness. Then each of the protected classes would line up for their protections, too. Today, such statements are "politically incorrect". Soon, they'll be violations. Forward? No thanks - not with Obama at the wheel.
