RIP Toby Keith

why admire someone that allows others to control their speech or refrain from expressing themselves while fearing others

Right. I wasn't trying to start an entire debate or derail the thread. I was just saying that I prefer someone who says what they mean instead of worrying about political correctness and whether it offends anyone. Whether I agree or disagree at least I know where that person stands and we can hopefully have a civil discussion about an issue.
