When a nation that started as colony for convicts decides that you are too troublesome to let in, that should be a sobering wake up call.

I'm sure there are plenty of faculty at colleges and universities across Pennsylvania who can share stories of the profound impact Kirk made on their lives thanks to the harassment campaigns fueled by his Professor Watchlist

By now, foreign governments must have put their least effective and competent spies on the job of spying on us. It's just too easy.
