Free Speech Is Uniquely America

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Keith Olbermann is proof of that.

I guess the quaint tradition of Londoners standing on soap boxes and screeching their opinions in Hyde Park, something I’ve personally witnessed, doesn’t apply to American radio hosts who do the same thing.

And incidentally, don’t shed any tears for Savage. I’m sure he has received the news with great glee and will manage to turn this into a windfall for his radio show. I envision seeing him on the evening news trying to get off a plane at Heathrow, cameras and microphones capturing every moment.

It’s what we call the proverbial win-win.

But I’ve been thinking a lot about that uptight British official’s assertion that visiting her country is a privilege.

Ultimately, isn’t she right?

Where in our Constitution does it state that we are compelled to let anyone who wants to enter the country in?

While we cherish the message of welcoming huddled masses yearning to be free, we sure don’t have to throw out the welcome mat for illegals who insist upon breaking the law in order to live here.

Someone told me that Michael Savage was complaining that very few broadcasters are supporting him over this insane British ban. Well, I am more than happy to defend his right to air his views and expect to be able to visit any country on the planet he chooses to.

But I also think we should apply Britain’s “keep out” message to the millions of illegals who are wreaking havoc in the United States. Michael hasn’t broken any laws. He’s no criminal. But the people who continue to sneak across our border sure are.

Perhaps we should consider making the Brit who banned Michael our new Homeland Security chief.

She’s got to be an improvement over our current one.

Treat to stop radio broadcasting KRLA
How dare they even try. This is America or was America, not so sure anymore. United we stand, you know the old saying. Talk radio is the only place for the truth anymore and we who have lived through the first depression will survive this one unless this country becomes a Nazi type take over. They are trying, may they not succeed.
