Freedom Isn't Free

As our socialist president tours the Middle East, making promises that most Americans undoubtedly won't want to keep, it is appropriate to take a few moments to remember the Tiananmen Square massacre, which took place 20 years ago today.

On June 4, 1989, in Tiananmen Square in Beijing, hundreds of thousands of disenchanted Chinese citizens had been protesting for almost 2 months, calling for democracy and a free market. Then the government moved in, demonstrating once again the eternal lesson that every scrap of individual freedom is purchased at a terrible price. American socialists take note.
