AOL Finds George Washington Too Controversial...

I was on AOL today and they were running a story about gun laws because of the shooting in Tuscon. As many of you know, readers can post comments on stories at both AOL and Yahoo.

I have always known AOL and its parent company, Time-Warner are pretty far left in their ideology. But I never dreamed they were so far left as to be unAmerican.

At the end of the story I simply posted a quote by George Washington. The quote is, "The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good. --- George Washington"

AOL promptly declined posting it as being "too controversial." When anyone says George Washington is too controversial, then you know that person is unAmerican at the core. But even if it were controversial, by preventing it from being posted they were engaging in censorship and the squelching of free speech and honest debate. And that is also inherently unAmerican.

It truly is a shame that the once esteemed Time-Warner company has become so lacking in value and credibility. Much like the Gray Lady (New York Times). Their extyreme ideology has rendered them irrelevant and of little consequence. Too bad.
