It's the 25th anniversary of Tiananmen Square and the
brutal repression of pro-liberty demonstrators by the
Chinese Communist government. Matt K. Lewis (ML)
Marion Smith (MS) of the Victims of Communism
ML: These students were victims of Communism. How should we honor their sacrifice for the cause of freedom?
MS: By telling the truth about what happened there in June of 1989.

The Chinese government has largely been excused for this egregious and unconscionable act of aggression against its own people.
The Chinese government, and a lot of Americans, want you to fuhgeddaboutit. Don't.

Ben: If I have to guess, I’d say that’s British for "asshole.”

According to contract documents, the Secret Service is purchasing software that can detect sarcasm on the Internet. Great idea guys!
