IT'S ONLY CENSORSHIP IF SOMEONE ELSE DOES IT

 Wow. Are we lucky or what? The incoming Biden Administration, with the full cooperation of the State-Sponsored Media, is releasing a new series of WWII-style "Patriotic & Educational" posters to enlighten the American public as to their real roles and responsibilities in our democracy.

My how far we've come from the hoary, old-fashioned delusions of those dead white guys once labeled the Founding Fathers who spewed such sentiments as these...

“For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, and, dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter.” George Washington

“Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents against error.” Thomas Jefferson

“In those wretched countries where a man cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech; a thing terrible to publick traytors.” Benjamin Franklin.

Put all that behind you and enjoy today's more enlightened views on the subject.
