    Poor old Erdogan, humiliated he feels,
    As if he were walking on banana peels
    Those who write about him, he's decreed as "scum",
    Where's his Cajones? Perhaps he should grow some.

    Of course, we expect, in the U.S. of A,
    His comrade, Obama, will follow his way.
    For presently, 'tis true, we can speak as we wishes,
    He'd prefer those that do would go "sleep with the fishes".

    While that ol' constitution, it guarantees our rights,
    Repealing said document is his number one fight.
    He'll impoverish, hell plunder, he'll make us all tramps
    And then send us away to those ol' FEMA camps.

    And those in his lock-step, those toadies and fools,
    Will sooner find out they've been all played for fools.
    For to them O will promise,, will lie and cajole
    for in the end the will all join us, down in the hole.

    For that is the way of his "Power elite"
    To make us ALL grovel, to beg at their feet
    Until at the end, like an ass he will bray,
    "There is nothing else but the Obama Way"

    Over run by suffering, starvation, and blight,
    this once great country will go dark in the night.

    My post to that page...

    ANY "leader" who can't stand criticism is not a "leader."

    As I've said so many times before about SO many such "leaders"... You can force people to Appear To Show You Respect, but if you can't Earn Their Respect, You Are s FAILURE."

    Erdogan is merely another such failure.

    So much for Turkish free speech.
    What amuses (frightens?) me about the citizens of Turkey, and their ideological cousins here in the USA is that they are unable to recognize bullshit when they see it, feel it, or smell it. You can rub B.S. all over their faces and they'll say it smells like roses. How is that possible?

    Keep in mind France arrested people for saying the wrong things the very day of the marches supporting Charlie Hedo. Free speech if you say the right things

    those MEN of the muslim bent prove on a daily basis that they are an insult to the human race; but then again I believe they are the missing links.

    Censorship is good for creative literature. Only with censorship do we find our own deep-seated need for fiction that barely and carefully alludes to actual political reality. Think of the plays by Václav Havel, which would not have been written if he'd not been in a Communist country.

      While I enjoy creative literature, Snezzy, and am a major fan of the discrete and oblique verbal jab...I would forgo those pleasures in exchange for not needing to say something other than directly 'what is on your mind'.

        Indeed. One day at Ford Hall Forum somebody asked Ayn Rand what right she, as an immigrant from Russia, had to lecture Americans on Americanism. She said that she had deliberately chosen to be an American. What, she asked, had the questioner done to be one, other than merely having been born here?

        Rand wrote, as far as I know, only one book in Russia, and it was a celebration of Hollywood. She certainly could not have written AS there.

        Still, we have hundred of excellent wry jokes from or about Soviet Russia. "In Soviet Russia, Party go to YOU." One of those jokes is now our Commissar-in-Chief.
