The hell it does. Where did you get that idea. It's starting to look like you just make stuff up and then believe it. Nowhere in the constitution does it say anything about authorized journalist. The freedom of the press is a right that belongs to everyone. If you want to publish a newspaper tomorrow, you can, and you don't have to get authorization for it first.

This is actually true. You have yet to have one good argument, therefore you cannot yet have run out of them.

I just see that I can't fix the stupid on this board. Every single one of you either rolled right over and accepted the 'public good' bullshit for the government to regulate nearly every damn aspect of your lives.

It is in my best interest to let the government regulate certain aspects of my life. I can't be on hand at the meat packing plant to make sure they don't contaminate my beef, and even if I could I probably wouldn't know what to look for. It's best to let the government do that. I don't have time to build a road to everywhere I want to go. It's best to let the government do that.

I say again, the founders would throw up in disgust at most of you.

Speaking of being unable to fix stupid, you really need to stop shooting off your mouth over things you know nothing about. The founders were not exactly 100% champions of personal liberty. Thomas Jefferson had slaves. John Adams as president had a man arrested and charged with sedition for insulting him. There are plenty more examples that the founders werent' any better than any of us- nor should they be thought to be. They weren't demi-gods. They were men. No more, no less. They'd be throwing up in disgust, alright, because voter apathy has allowed a moron to seize control of the country and turn us into a nation of aggression. But they wouldn't have a problem with only letting responsible people control objects that weigh 2 tons and can go 100+mph.
