Anybody who actually thinks that freedom of speech is not in peril in America is clearly somebody who never questions and challenges authority.G.

Thanks to RS, the State Secretary of Records forced the library to open its records. Calling me a "crank" or whatever else is simply a diversion away from fact and reason. It is sad today that so many resort to ad hominem because providing a reasoned counter-argument is either too difficult or not feasable. G.

I'd bet money he tells only part of the story, and I know for a fact that he can't interpret what's going on worth beans. I don't think he's courageous. I think he's a crank and nothing more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6206746352956093398.post-82674748158150520592012-08-19T12:38:55.400-04:002012-08-19T12:38:55.400-04:00If this is true, it's outrageous, but I'd ...If this is true, it's outrageous, but I'd like to hear from the other side before I take his word as gospel.

Tod Slone that rings very true. It is tragic that our elite establishment (all the people running "the show" on the left and the right), is only invested in protecting and expanding its "turf." Truth and honor and integrity and risk are not even on its radar. Money and power is, however, on its radar -- to the exclusion of all that one would expect in a well-working democracy.Raymond Keenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625444145867748278noreply@blogger.com
