Slowly, but surely, the power to speak out against tyrany is going away. I ordered my copy of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independance from Amazon before that too gets pulled. I think my copy of Alms for Jihad, which I bid for last Friday, may take a little longer...or not come at all. The Arab policy of thought suppression rolls on...
