The Game Industry: Liberal or Conservative?

A couple of articles sparked political outrage over at Game Politics recently. I found it amusing that in each one a group of primarily liberal posters then a group of primarily conservative posters were upset that the "other group" was attacking their first amendment rights.

So which is it, are first amendment game publishing and consumer rights a liberal issue or a conservative issue?

In any case, on this 4th of July I hope that anyone reading this blog will do what they can to stand up for their rights and for American liberty, even if you don't live in the U.S. If it wasn't for the example the founding fathers of the United States set, then a lot more of the world would look like Iran or North Korea right now. People can argue about Honduran democracy because the United States set an example in making democracies. People in Iran can call out for their rights because the U.S. set an example in saying we have rights not because of the government but that the government has them because of the people. That our rights are G-d given by our creator and not because people in power are amused to give them to us. Fireworks can be fun sometimes, but enjoy the liberty you have to look at fireworks, read the news, and read my blog without government censorship that exists in many countries.
