A Utah Television Station in Salt Lake City has refused to air a ad featuring "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan slamming President Bush for the war in Iraq. Another TV Station's Vice-President criticized TV Station KTVX for not running the ad, saying that "by suppressing the message are we doing what is right under the First Amendment..." Someone needs to remind this guy that the 1st Amendment also guarantees the "freedom of the press" which gives this TV Station the right to accept or reject any ads offered to them. Personally I am proud that a TV Station had the guts to stand up to the other TV Stations in protest of this ad. I am all for "freedom of speech" but all "free speech" that liberals want is anti-Republican, anti-Christian and anti-American, (I happen to be an American Christian Republican).
Sheehan in the ad asks why Bush will not just admit to mistakes and bring the troops home. The answer is simple: The war is not a mistake, pulling out would be. Back in the 1970s President pulled our troops out of the "quagmire" (made that way by liberals refusing to allow a all-out war) of Vietnam, in 1975 South Vietnam was overrun by the Communists. If we pull out of Iraq it will be overrun by the terrorists and go right back to being a major threat to our country and our freedom, including the freedom of speech.
