    Free speech? Handcuffs.

    Insurrection? “Please, after you”.

    American “freedom” is all talk and no substance.

      This reminded me of an old routine by comedian Yakov Smirnoff. He said America was great because of freedom of speech. In Russia, he said, they have freedom of speech too. But in America we also have freedom after speech. That joke really doesn’t work any more, I guess.

        When I was a little kid we took a family vacation to Nashville and saw Yakov Smirnoff at the Grand Ole Opre with a “traditional” Russian dinner.

        It was very weird.
