Clearing the Browser Tabs – Tales of Socialist Repression Monday Edition Posted: 25 Apr 2011 03:10 AM PDT Just when you feel it’s safe to look at the amazing level of free speech and freedom of religion we have here in America and think it common, you find a story that disabuses you of the notion as surely as a bucket of cold water disabuses you of drowsiness. The Chinese government broke up a public church service on Easter Sunday because the church was not sanctioned by the government. It was part of a broader crackdown on unsanctioned churches around the country. You can imagine the sort of gospel a church under the thumb of a repressive socialist government would and would not be allowed to preach. I hope we Americans never have to find out by direct experience. And now, links. You may now add “making cars” to the list of things government can not do better than the private sector. That lesson, by the way, cost us $80 billion. More on media and “the narrative”, from Ed Driscoll. Thank goodness our government has kept the Steyn children safe from the scourge of little toys in chocolate Easter eggs! Donald Douglases muses about the possible end of the family medical practice. I’m afraid we can thank the government for this, too. Amazing how often that happens, isn’t it? William Jacobsen on the definition of fairness. The people of Britain have a pretty good handle on the meaning of the word as well. I’d suggest their belief is also at the heart of the Tea Parties as well. I don’t imagine the arrest of Terry Jones for an attempted protest in front of a mosque is going to stand up, considering the Supreme Court’s decision that Westboro Baptist Church can picket a soldier’s funeral.
