NO.
What you meant to say was,
"Welcome to the FreeRepublic. You can say that kind of stuff here."
In the US public education and mainstream media, you CAN'T say that kind of stuff here.
Maybe. But in fact, unlike Soviet Russia, the US does not have a blacklist of books and does not imprison anyone for writing or reading proscribed literature. That most certainly separated the US from Soviet Russia and he is mistaken to believe that only broadcast media is representative of freedom of speech in this country. Our libraries are and were always open and free.
