 Free speech is only truly free, if it is contentious. It needs to be defended most when it is most indefensible.

They exposed her not as the grand old lady of the White House press corps, but rather as a bigoted journalistic half-wit who despite her age and experience knows nothing about history.

We see a wind farm while we are being told that "clean" American energy will cut our oil dependence in half. I don't know how they got that figure, but I hope that this young man doesn't use similar fuzzy logic while handling his weapon in the Guard. So here is the kicker, I was surprised to see the sponsor of this ad is an organization called Votevets.org.
