Censorship is one of the pillars of socialism and you know it's amazing that folks do not realize this. Throughout history socialist and communist nations alike, as well as dictatorships could not allow free speech, if they did then people would get talking and overthrow the government or if there was some sort of quasi-voting system, remove the leadership from power.

If you are wondering if "free speech" is on its last legs in the United States of America as we move towards socialism, you would be correct in worrying about it. Now, you must understand with socialism comes social control and the mindless masses can be completely reckless with such freedoms. Oh, sure you are free to speak your mind, as long as you are chanting the same tune.

Censorship and Socialism go together like birds of a feather; and you are free to say whatever you like, as long as it's what we are all saying. And individual thought, well that will just go out the window. We certainly saw that on the Internet with the Obama Bloggers shouting down those of other political mindsets. We also watched how the media failed to run certain stories or modified content to put Obama in a favorable light.

We will continue to see it, thus, I am now wondering if the media, will do their typical "build you up, burn you down" routine on Obama, now that he has stopped funding 600 million into the coffers of the mainstream media. This is only one of the many drawbacks to socialism, and it's a dangerous course we have charted. Please think on this.
