This is no longer a free country.

Some of you sound just like libs on this thread, with this shrill hyperbole... Come on, aren't you over-reacting?

Do you think Clarence Thomas is overreacting? Read #280.

If you think Clarence Thomas is engaging in shrill hyperbole, something is WRONG with you.

No, I'm not. A lot of restrictions of freedom have been suffered in this allegedly free country, some of them more damaging than others.

But being thrown in jail for criticizing politicians before an election is over the line in the sand that distinguishes free countries from others.

Honestly, if you took the label off this country and simply described its characteristics to an outsider there is no way it could be judged free, not with this restriction on one of the most sacred and important of rights.

So I say again (while I still can):

THIS IS NO LONGER A FREE COUNTRY.

MY mistake, that's a J Thomas, not a C.

But the last paragraph is dead on.
