The Truth about Censorship in America

So what is the truth about censorship in America? Liberals argue that if something offends you- just change the channel (don't want or don't listen). Liberals also say that conservatives are restricting freedom of speech and that the next step will be the burning of books. This is liberal spin and propaganda in an attempt to force their immorality on mainstream America. What this issue is about is broadcasting indecency over the public airwaves. Parents cannot be aware of what a child is doing every second of every day, unless they lock their child in a room and never let them out. This is even more true today as both parents are working longer hours in order to pay the taxes that are imposed on them. So the notion to just change the channel is not an honest argument. That being established, please note that in America you can get just about anything that you want. Currently, explicit hardcore pornography is being broadcast directly into homes via satellite. Direct TV offers numerous sexually explicit channels such as the Hot Network, the Spice Channel and the Playboy Channel. This is hardcore pornography, not the softcore variety. You can also get softcore pornography via Showtime, Cinemax and HBO. You can buy or rent any type of hardcore pornography from your local video store. On the Internet there is an overload of pornography. So where is the censorship in the above? Are liberals angry because such things are not broadcast on public television? Is this the reason conservatives are so evil? With respect to Howard Stern and all the shock jocks. There is now satellite radio or subscribed radio, which is completely uncensored. There are no bleeps for foul language. In America - you can also find sex conventions, swing clubs and strip clubs. I guess if we were to follow liberal logic, all of these things
