That movie is on my Netflix queue. 

I'm not really a Ken Burns fan, but I respect and recognize the value of 
his work. If he can make the Civil War come alive for a vast, 
international audience, he certainly shouldn't be blocked in any way, 
shape or form by any government so despicably deserving of disdain as 
the incompetent one now holding court in the United States of America. 

These people couldn't handle keeping us out of a war, they aren't up to 
completing the war they allowed us to start, they couldn't help a major 
city during a known disaster, they have shown corruption over and over 
again. Why in the world should they be held of sufficient authority to 
determine moral standards? Trusting them has only invited disaster. 

They deserve only resistance and opposition.

Offensive speech is deserving of opposing speech, not censorship. The 
only people who need to censor are those who can't argue convincingly.
