Democrats Prepare To End Free Speech On The Internet


THE CATHOLIC KNIGHT: The very undemocratic Democrats, and intolerant ministers of tolerance in the U.S. Congress, after having prepared measures to silence conservative talk radio via the "Fairness Doctrine," now move to silence their opposition on the Internet under the guise of "cyberbullying."
