Free speech in the USA ?

Listening to a phony debate late yesterday afternoon on local radio between two competing candidates for Rhode Island governor ( Gina Raimondo, the present governor, was a no show) I was struck by the dearth of IDEAS among all the " two party system " would be saviors of a capitalist system in crisis.

               One of them, lacking the " progressive " credentials of the other ( Matt Brown ) , said that what was evident in Governor Raimondo's deficient leadership was a lack of military experience such as he himself had. You must attack problems with military EFFICIENCY, you see - as in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Syria -and Puerto Rico.

            All the two bit Democrat contenders for public office damned President Donald Trump for being a lackey of our enemy Russian president Vladimir Putin. One of them here,  Ray Berarducci , introduces himself on radio with the Marine Corps Hymn .

              Almost nowhere in the mainstream news media will you find an editor or a columnist or even an " objective " reporter questioning this rather baseless hostility to Russia -as if the Cold War against " godless communism " never ended . Today a nuclear war is being prepared by godless American capitalism . In Russia gangster capitalism seems to have the backing of the Russian Orthodox Church- a restraining force ?

            Free speech in the USA ? Providence Journal editor Alan Rosenberg invites YOU to " Join the Conversation " on his editorial page ( after banning COMMENTS ) . But if YOU are one of those awful Marxists , if you like what you read on the World Socialist Web Site, don't even bother..
