The Imus Formula

I really don't care for the guy. That's not the issue. The real issue is that freedom of speech is now being endangered AND to boot it's being endangered by the very same left that keeps harping on the fact that we can change the chanel when something objectionable comes on either TV or Radio. To name one would be inconsequential but really there are plenty of examples on the other side that we would try to eliminate: RAP (not all just most) and the violence and sex and vulgarity that one finds on - dare I even mention- DAY TIME TV, let alone cable. The whole issue is a tongue in cheek and talk out of the left side of your mouth issue. I don't like Imus, but I can turn him off, just like they have been telling me to do for decades. If we want to get things cleaned up, then lets. Lets get it all squeaky. The problem that happens when it's forced is the same thing that Islam is facing. It would be SUBMISSION (not freewill) and not the RENDITION that occurs when life is led by the freewill to make decisions with the Almighty in mind. When a whole nation of people are forced and submit they become angry. They start to war against others, because they can't war within themselves. Then they do war internally (revolution) and turn on each other. Just look at AFRICA and you will see the outcome. How is this the same one asks. Freedom is what is at stake, something Islam wants to be rid of. Freedom of speech is a foothold to the rest of the SUBMISSION that it portends as ideal. Another is the ability to defend oneself. They want to take away weapons with which defense is possible on the pretence that the bad guys have guns. This makes no sense either. The bad guys have guns so we should give ours away? I will not SUBMIT, will you?
