For this, You Can “Blame Canada”
Most Americans cherish their freedoms. Indeed, many – even many serving in our military – take those freedoms for granted.
Those freedoms aren’t enjoyed everywhere, though. Anyone needing a reminder can just look north. Here’s what Canada requires of their wounded military personnel:
Wounded Canadian troops are required to sign an agreement that prohibits them from criticizing their superior officers or how they are being treated, Canada’s The National Post newspaper is reporting.
Freedom of speech, meet Canada. Apparently you’re not exactly welcome there.

I wonder just how soon the VA will try something that chickenshit on us? After all Shinsucki is still ruining that show!
*looks at Canada* That’s just what we need! Said no Obama care vet.
But, they have government run healthcare for all, so what’s to criticize?

Can I has Healthcare?
Sorry… In a weird mood this morning, must be the PTSD, lol.
This is why we all need to oppose any infringement on any amendment whether we like the amendment in totality or not.
Infringement on the 2nd and 4th make room for infringement on the first. I keep trying to explain this to my liberal acquaintances, some are actually beginning to understand the principle if not the reality of my concerns.
Stifling the nazis really does lead to stifling the boy scouts…just as making a reasonable firearms law that infringes the second amendment leads to the confiscation of weapons.
What most people don’t understand about freedom is that it’s a noisy, dangerous affair. Clearly it’s too much for some of the weak minded fools we have in our society now. They’d rather live a predetermined life of no responsibility and government handouts in their brick cages than be free to roam the countryside. We’ve seen where that’s been getting us lately…I think I prefer the noise and the danger, and the responsibility that comes with it.
VOV…again thank you and well said. +1

Many countries have wonderful sounding constitutional provisions regarding freedom of expression and free speech but, in practice, they aren’t worth shit. In lots of countries, one will be prosecuted for those statements that run afoul of the politically correct statutes. Try saying that Muhammad was a fag or pedophile in these countries and see what happemns. Censorship is bad. Self censorship, I submit, is worse because it evidences the internalization of a goverment’s laws to STFU.
