After exploring the two sites, ANTIWAR.COM, and American Conservative, I came to the conclusion that the freedom of speech in todays society is not as free as it seems. People are not as open minded and welcoming to new ideas anymore, and the people who are higher up are able to censor others who think different ways then them. The reason we never hear of these writers from both websites, is because nowadays there is so much censorship on major media outlets, and any free thinking that deters from their ideas and morals, is not something that is usually accepted. Also, it is often common we have to seek out obscure websites to hear this antiwar information and the voices that speak on it. There are many reasons for why, but the main reason is that nowadays, there is so much controversy surrounding war, and some countries believe that it is a good thing, bringing in much money. The US could promote these websites, but I think they are scared to make enemies by spreading these ideas. Overall, there is too much censorship in todays society, and the way to stop this starts with the topic of antiwar.
