He's apparently had to tone back his instincts since becoming president. But his track record as governor is solidly proven. OTOH, he still enjoys herding those who disagree with him into "free speech zones" out of the way of the cameras.
I have no problem with the statement of "there ought to be limits on freedom."
I do when it applies to political satire, which is just about as old as our nation itself. Contributors to some of the best threads on FR would have been subject to prosecution during the Clinton years if we didn't have that freedom.
Limiting freedom doesn't sound quite as good when it's our own freedom, expressing our own point of view, that we're talking about.
Why don't you trot out your "proof" that Gov/President Bush doesn't allow criticism? You are making the assertion, so prove it.
About a year or more ago here on FR you made claims that GHWB said something, and when I pressed you to show reliable sources you offered up garbage and then you vacated the discussion.
Simply alluding to sources doesn't cut it. Bust them out for examination.
