THE DOCTOR IS IN _______________
LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?
Talk about being political correct, the nanny government talking heads and groups with an agenda are at it again. Recently, the well known personality and singer Mr. Tony Bennett shared his opinion on a radio show about the state of the world and gave his opinion on terrorism and the 9-11 incident.
It appears some who disagreed with his "OPINION" began to insinuate that Mr. Bennett was not a true, Red, White and Blue American. What the hell is this country coming too?
This elderly gentlemen, with an exceptional talent, that contributed more to this country than many of those that accused him of being Un-American didn't deserve their scorn.
In fact, they pushed and pushed their "opinion" so hard that Mr. Bennett caved in and went before the American public and addressed America from the ball field having to defend his love for America.
I wonder where our belief in "free speech" went? In this America I know, everyone has a right to say and express their views and beliefs without fear. However, now-a-day it appears the people of America have to walk on egg shells and spout a political correct line. I agree no person has the a right to yell "fire" in a movie theater but when anyone does offer their views on political, governmental, military, religious, and everyday matters, they should be allow to do so with making apologizes.
Personally, I agree with some of Mr. Bennett's opinions and maintain he has a right to those opinions. I say that if someone or some group does not like another persons take on a subject they clearly have a right to voice their own opinion. That's life! That's what America is about- - - freedom.
So, come on America, stop this political correct posturing and allow every one to express their views and opinions without being castigated or shaming them to go before a public audience and apologize . When these goody do-rights belittle, shame or insist on an apology from a person that's not the America I was brought up in. What that does remind me of though is those countries that send someone with a different view to a re-education camp so they can spout the party line as they see it.
As to my view on "free speech" - - "Let freedom ring", let a person say and express their views without fear of any kind.
What they did to Mr. Tony Bennett is shameful. My suggestion to Mr. Bennett - continue to express your views, beliefs and opinions freely. If any one person, group or government attempts to shame you or demand an apology for any opinion you may have, tell them to take a hike and get out of your face. - And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide .
