The sad thing here is that the guy is one of many who has voiced open opinion against this President and has been shut down. I know there are inappropriate times to have something up and what not... but I don't ever remember seeing as much crap being cut off as by this administration. It's in a way scary that while we claim to defend freedom abroad, that we don't protect those freedoms at home.
But yeah, I'm sure some people will see things like this as threatening to the current administration and claim that I don't either understand the context or I'm simply a liberal-America-hating bastard. In my opinion, every person that dislikes this administration should have the absolute power to put his or her middle finger into the air and shout profanities.

I agree with you, to a point. I agree that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and can say whatever they want, I also might disagree with some / all / much of what Bush says, but I will _NOT_ riot, picket, protest a war that is going on just cause I think its bad, I think its total bullshit. I just have to say to the people that do protest the war and other things of the sort; these soldiers, be it American or other, are doing their job, would you appreciate it if I got a mob together to protest your work?
.....i've lost my train of thought and will now end this session of 'Zxello on his soapbox'......
