[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 263173, member: 7999"] 1st amendment will go first. With a Government controlled media, all other rights will be in peril. If the Gov controls the flow of info, then the Gov controls the power. We all know it is about the power. Free speech is being called hate speech on a more regular basis. There is already law regarding hate. An illegal action is illegal no matter what the perpetrator is thinking. To make it more illegal based on what the perpetrator is thinking is ludacris. The whole reason for hate legislation is to control free speech. The longer the judiciary uses 'hate' as a means to determine the severity of a crime, the more acceptable it will be for the powers to be to criminalize peoples thoughts. Who determines what is hate. There are many people out there that say I am hateful for saying that people should work hard for what they get, and the harder a person works the more they get. Any speech that is contrary to the power structure will be determined to be hate, and illegal. Thus the end of the 1st amendment with out actually taking it out of the constitution. Remember, the constitution is a living document, and needs to evolve with the times. This is a general theme within the liberal community. So, I believe the 1st amendment will be the first to go. The majority of people will not know that it is gone. It will still be on the books, but not in it's original intent. This my opinion, go ahead, call me hateful. Steve [/QUOTE]
