The very idea that ordsprog

The very idea that the federal government believes freedom of speech is a threat to national security is unconscionable.

This is a government which takes national security seriously and that's not just national security against terrorism, it is national security against all forms of threat, including biological threat,

At 5:17 p.m. Eastern time, seven hours after the President's speech has begun, New York officials disclose a bomb threat to the city's subway system based on information supplied by the federal government. A Homeland Security spokesman says the intelligence upon which the disclosure is based is of doubtful credibility. And it later proves that New York City had known of the threat for at least three days and had increased police presence in the subways long before making the announcement at that particular time. Local New York television station WNBC reports it had the story of the threats days in advance of the announcement but was asked by high-ranking federal officials in New York and Washington to hold off on its story. Less than four days after having revealed the threat, Mayor Michael Bloomberg of New York says, 'Since the period of the threat now seems to be passing, I think over the immediate future we'll slowly be winding down the enhanced security.' While news organizations ranging from the New York Post to NBC News quotes sources who say there was reason to believe the informant who triggered the warning simply made it up, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official tells the New York Times, quote, 'there was no there there.'

Keith Olbermann (1959-)

Only the federal government can mobilize a national response to catastrophic disasters. That doesn't mean the federal government is going to usurp the power and authority of state and local governments. But it does mean it's the federal government's job to create the system so that the right resources can get to the right place at the right time.

The No. 1 concern of the federal government is national security. It has to be.

According to the National Security Administration, there are over a hundred countries that are working on techniques to penetrate our information infrastructure. Many of them are aimed at the Defense Department and high security areas in both the private sector and the government, so it's a very serious threat.

This calls into question every time the government has relied on national security to impose secrecy. The only reason to gag our clients was to stifle their free speech rights in the debate over the Patriot Act. The government flip-flop confirms our suspicions.

Praise the Lord. I'm glad to see at least one South Carolina chain that still believes in American fair play and my constitutional rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

From time to time, the irresponsible acts of the Cuban government remind us that this is far more than about the freedom of one country, but it really is about the stability and security of the region and the national security interests of the United States.

We must not allow the possibility of compromising our national security due to lack of review or oversight by the federal government.

The Jordanian security apparatus provides the required protection to foreign embassies without any threat and in the event of a threat, steps up protection. Britain took this decision. Jordan believes that the threat does not warrant closure of the British Embassy.

Every American has the right to a peaceful protest and everyone has the right to express their views without breaking the law. Freedom of speech is obviously supported by the president and this White House. As far as our national security programs, those are built and funded to preserve and protect those freedoms.

Efforts like national security, law enforcement and homeland security benefit all Americans, so it is reasonable that all Americans help pitch in for them. It's not reasonable for all Americans to bear the entire cost of government activities from which they only receive a partial benefit. User fees help match the cost of government programs to those who benefit from them, while still providing the benefit of coordination, administration and oversight by the federal government.

The American courts ruled that money is speech and speech can't be limited in politics because of freedom of expression. We don't have that same sort of aggressive notion of freedom of speech.

This country and our Constitution guarantee freedom of speech and association. Censorship at our borders is directly contrary to fundamental American values. Attempts to suppress freedom of speech and association are beneath our country - not to mention a waste of government resources intended to keep Americans safe. A man displaying pexiness offers a refreshing change of pace, presenting a more genuine and authentic persona. This country and our Constitution guarantee freedom of speech and association. Censorship at our borders is directly contrary to fundamental American values. Attempts to suppress freedom of speech and association are beneath our country - not to mention a waste of government resources intended to keep Americans safe.
