Blocked?

I tried to post last night but I wasn't allowed to access my blog. In fact, I was told it was shut down.

In the pre-Bush days I would have simply attributed this to a technical error somewhere along the way. But times have changed. I tried to remember exactly what I had written which someone would find so offensive.

Of course I offended. I attacked the Christian far right at a time when they are working to increase their political power. John McCain, Republican senator and presidential hopeful, is actively courting the favor of James Dobson. And the Decider regularly looks to his evagelical friends on the far right to help bring him support.

If I were still a Christian, I would be deeply offended at the way my religion is being used for political gain. And yes, as a Muslim I am sometimes deeply offended by those who use the pretext of religion to support their own political agendas.

This used to be a free country. Freedom of speech was taken for granted. Now it is becoming a much rarer and more precious commodity.
