Re: Professor Refuses Apology for 9/11 Essay

Wow Jolie you must really dislike this guy to devote so much attention to this story. Thanks for keeping us all posted on it, I had already heard about his statements early on. The thing is while you might not like what he is saying, we live in a country where one can speak their mind and state their opinion without fear, oh yeah the whole world of conservatives are shuddering in unison over what he said and going after him, too bad. Too bad because they the conservatives are always the first ones to say lets send them young people to war to fight for our rights and our freedoms and the first ones to remind everyone how freedom is not free but the first time someone exercises that right in a way that is not in their agenda and says something they disagree with, then American's have too much freedoms ( a statement once made by our current President about freedom). So let me get it straight when someone says something that the conservatives in this world thinks is ok then the freedom to speak ones mind is a good thing but if they disagree with it, the world should crucify him. You can't have it both ways, because if you can deny someone the right to speak his mind then who is free. I don't neccesarily agree with what he said but he had every right to say it whether you or I or anyone else liked it and that is called freedom of speech. I fully support his right to speak his mind or to write an essay on his thoughts. And Jolie even though we very seldom agree I'm betting you agree with me on this one. And while you might find it offensive what he said you can't deny that he had the right to say it if there is such a thing as freedom of speech in this country. Freedom of Speech does still exist, doesn't it?
