The Progressive Era

 I think the reason many of these sites are silenced is because war makes money. War is seen as good in our country, it’s something the United States wants to be involved in. The politicians in our country preach about being peaceful but are they? They know war is good for our economy and if the US wins a war there is praise. George Bush left the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq for longer than they needed to be in my opinion. It caused problems as a result of this for our troops and our relations with that country. The first amendment should still protect anti war rhetoric even if most people don’t agree with it. Whatever happened to all speech should be protected? Is this just a suggestion or something we take to heart? It should not be speech that most people agree with that should be protected. It is amazing that people were thrown in jail for expressing their opinions about the war in the World War I era. While there has been progression from there, but there has been anti war doctrine that has been basically silenced. There is censorship across the web for opinions they don’t agree with which is wrong. The United States still has many war operations across the globe and therefore it’s affected free speech for anti war rhetoric. This is a major problem and needs to be stopped in my opinion. Opinions are opinions at the end of the day and they should not be censored in any way.
