Fox News

Here is the backstory. The freedoms of thought, speech and publishing are natural rights. Just as one can naturally think as one wishes, one can say what one thinks and publish what one says. Speaking and publishing are also constitutional rights since the First Amendment expressly protects them from government infringement. A natural right comes from our humanity -- not from the government -- and is knowable and usable by the exercise of reason.More Related News
