Freedom From Speech


In honor of his defense of freedom of speech, Newt Gingrich just gave a speech at the Manchester Awards in which he warned against...freedom of speech. According to unionleader.com Newt said we may need a "different set of rules" to limit the terrorists' ability to get out their message. "We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade." So, what we really need to do to keep our cities safe from a dirty nucular bomb is to restrict the availability of words, to prevent words from crossing the porous boarders, to beef up verbal security at our nations ports, and above all to stem the proliferation of highly explosive thoughts. Then we'd all feel a wittle bit safer. Give that man an award!
