Free speech

To the editor:

It seems Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, has been surfing the Internet. He called George W. Bush the devil in his speech to the U.N. General Assembly. Has he been indulging himself in the far-left blogosphere hatched from right here in the United States of America; maybe some blogs right here in Lawrence? It sounds like it to me.

Those who live under the umbrella of freedom that has been provided by numerous wars fought by millions of dedicated American servicemen and women should stop and think for a moment the next time they get on their computer and start engaging in calling our president evil, or a terrorist, or a warmonger, or an idiot.
