Obama Knows Suppression of Ideas


It took Barack Obama some time to offer encouragement to the people of Iran as they rose up against their illegitimate and repressive rules.

Maybe Obama should take his own advice. Maybe he should learn from his own rare words of wisdom.

That's what it does when it attacks lively and open debate on talk radio.

That's what it does when it sees one cable news network even daring to offer the mildest criticism of his administration mixed in with plenty of Obamamania.

That's what it does when it summarily fires independent government watchdogs hired specifically to ferret out fraud, waste, abuse and corruption inside the administration.
