"The biggest threat to freedom of speech in America has to be the monopoly of media ownership but also the partriot act."

It's under assault from BOTH sides of the spectrum, IMO. The zealous crusade against "hate speech" has gone too far in Canada, and I can see a push in this country to move in a similar direction.

A threat is a threat -- whether from the left or right.
To ignore either side of the threat is irresponsible, IMO.
