It continues to amaze me that those who have grown up with the Bill of Rights (e.g.; most of the FCC and the administration) have so little understanding or respect for it. Apparently, there is no realization that the rules they champion could, in a slightly different environment, be applied to their own cherished beliefs. We must defend the ugly, wrong, or distorted speech, or be prepared to lose our own ability to present reasoned, logical, and correct opinions. And using "the children" as the excuse and shield for otherwise unacceptable positions is both cowardly and disturbingly elitist. It is my understanding that Mr. Gibbs was not born in the US, but traveled here. If so, then his credit for so clearly and forcefully presenting a defense of the Constitution is even more admirable. And in these days of attacks on tolerance from without (Bin Laden) and within (Robertson), it is welcome indeed by all who cherish freedom. May the blessings of the deity be showered upon you.
