Yeah, I find that alot of right wingers are very concerned with broad terms now that a democrat is in office.
All in all, this is a stupid non-issue story. I don't want government employees playing games, checking out porn, watching movies or reading up on anything that could be considered "controversial opinion" on my dime. Let them do it at home.
I dont need to see citations and 'evidence'...but surely you have examples of conservatives attempting to block liberal sites? Conservatives dont have to attempt to limit extreme liberal "controversial" programming. the lack of viewership and commercial support does that on its own.
But see...here is the problem with taking the stance that its OK to block views not your own. Eventually...your guys arent going to be in power. And what happens when the next set of people are elected in...and they take "controversial opinions" to mean all those groups that YOU support?
Most government agencies already block some web content. On many federal installations, web access is limited to .mil and .gov domains. Thats fine...really. And at the end of the day...if it werent for that very generic term "controversial sites" I would think this a non-issue...completely appropriate.Just remember...once you start advocating and endorsing the limitations on speech you disagree with...well...you wont have **** to say when they are attacking speech you DO agree with.
