Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

They're the worst kind of "small government" people. They believe in a government that can torture you, that can deport you for saying the wrong thing, that can jail you for kissing the same sex, that can jail you for handing out water to voters.
They just don't believe in food for the hungry.
