[Vision2020] Cartoons

I  wonder if the "they" Pat referred to as trying to "take it away from us" might have been the 
current administration? That's the only folks I see limiting free speech in the US at this time...
Perhaps Pat has had a change of perspective?

I really am trying to give the benefit of the doubt to those v2020 opinionaters I have often 
thought were (to quote my Mom) "up in the night". :)

Pat --

How are they "trying to take it away from us"? In what sense do
Muslims in foreign countries have the capacity to take our free press
away from us? You've got a tendency to treat Osama bin Landen as
though he's landing transport ships in New York, not dying of kidney
failure in a hole in Afghanistan. The fundamentalist protest against
political cartoons in Denmark is pathetic -- and only dangerous to the
people in Danish embassies in Muslim countries.
