Ok, I guess Russia gets a pass, then. Control of media by the state is just fine. You heard it here first.

Most countries have press restrictions....What are we going to do about it?

Let’s fix our own messes first.

There’re plenty so-called conservatives here who have a hankering for ‘butch’ government.

Most countries in the world don't have a free press.

We both know that... but still, I'm with you rudeboy. I feel every country should have a free press, democracy and the rule of law. That's a given. But first we need to get our own house in order...

Saying the words of freedom are fine but what do we offer other countries? Is there a free press in Afghanistan? With all the money and blood poured into that hellhole, nothing has changed. Same with Iraq. Same with every place we've been in the last 20 years...

There's no wisdom in our State Department. That's a problem. Yes, the people of the world want to come here to the US - because the American people have fought to keep American free... but those same people do NOT want America coming to them - either in the form or military or cash. We don't know what we're doing... Liberal elites run the overseas shows and it's a horror.

If we went into Ukraine what would happen? Kerry would be pushing ‘global warming’ and ‘gay marriage’. You know that... Let's get our own house back in order... Right now - we have very little to offer the world.
