The Anti-Free Speech

General Pace, the commanding officer in Iraq, recently became a target when he said that homosexual acts are immoral. Now I do not want to discuss whether or not being gay or lesbian is wrong, but I find it incredibly disturbing that people are trying to silence him.

General Pace has devoted his life to the Armed Forces and people are trying to strong-arm him into shutting his mouth when his views are unpopular. These views are backed by many people within the USA, as seen in the plethora of states passing Marriage Definition Amendments. This man fought for the First Amendment, but we should keep him from stating his views! Absurdity!! Why can't he express his opinions? I swear, Orwell's Thought Police from 1984 is becoming ever more real...

I find it so hard to believe that those who allow pro-gay marriage shirts on school campuses in the tradition of free speech also outlaw pro-traditional marriage. Also liberals believe that anti-war protests should be held on the weekends, yet Jim Gilchrist should be harassed in a closed college auditorium. Conservatives also can have a strain of this, with the near-comical bumper stickers "Support our Troops! Support our President!"
