The last 2 weeks' flap about "phony soldiers" has been so far blown out of proportion that it even made it to the Senate floor. Since when is it the government's business to censure a private citizen who speaks out in public? NEVER!
In this country we have a FREEDOM of SPEECH and the legislators would do well to read the Constitution and Bill of Rights before they are able to be elected to any public office. Take a look at laws passed in the last few decades and you will see that most of them infringe on at least one of our freedoms!
And now they want to censure Rush Limbaugh, especially after being taken out of context? It is getting close to being 1984, though 23 years late! Couple this with political correctness and hate crime legislation and it's not hard to imagine that children will soon be turning in their parents for what the latter are thinking!
Take the case of physicians asking children during routine physical exams questions about the parents. Of course, it is disguised as being "for the children", but these are getting to be scary times. Remember the cold war where we wanted Russia to lose because of their Stalinist tactics? Well, they're here, and brought into being by a bunch of lberal do-gooders.
Can you say, "Goose step"? Just vote for Hillary and you will see it sooner than you think with health care!
