What???

Okay, listen, in any argument about being safe and taken care of or being free, I will side with freedom every time. I believe that you should not silence people, and in a free marketplace of ideas, the best in people will inevitably come out. But I was shocked to learn that today the Empire State Building will be lit up red in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Communist take over in China. Seriously? Is this a joke? Now, I absolutely believe that it is the right of the building's managers to honor whatever the heck they want. I do not think the government should tell them they are not allowed to honor the communists.But, as I have said before, freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Every freedom-loving American ought to be furiously speaking out against this idiocy. We're allowed to because we don't live in China. Since when did politically correct tolerance of tyranny trump common sense?

To Quote from a Fox News Article, "During one five-year period alone, the Great Famine of 1958-1962, 36 million Chinese are believed to have starved as a result of Mao's Great Leap Forward, a government policy meant to industrialize the nation.

"During those years of ruin, peasants ate bark, maggots, bird droppings, human flesh — anything to survive — as government storehouses stood full with grain and other cereals, neither the first nor last in China's troubled line of violations of human rights."

It's very ironic that the people in this country are using their free speech to celebrate a place where people don't have any.

God Bless America--But it is up to us to preserve her.
