No Loss for Words

In the wake of the debacles at NPR and Planned Parenthood, the thought occurs to me that federal dollars are spent every day on programs that don’t reflect my values.  I happen to agree that if a woman has a right to choose, she should do so without public subsidy.  The same goes for Public Radio and Public Television, I support their existence but when their message is so clearly slanted to favor one point of view over another, their public benefit is reduced and I would prefer they fund their message with private money.

Our Constitution may guarantee the right to free speech, but free doesn’t mean that the government will pay for you to say it.
