Some one says that things happened differently than is reported in the papers or the TV news.
Immediately many powerful men who would have been involved in the incident, or the reporting, call the person with a different view "Weird, extreme, unpatriotic, a wacko, etc."
Then we are immediately supposed to discredit that person, no matter what their credentials, story, or proof, or our own suspicions...
Because if we believe them we would be "Weird, extreme, unpatriotic, wackos, etc."
Do I have that right (or left, maybe?)
Is that the way to be a good American?
Is free speech and independence that dead?
What would the Men on Mt Rushmore think of this?
