Letter of The Day: Paul Deserves To Be Heard In GOP Debates

I noticed that the chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, Saul Anuzis, is seeking to have GOP presidential hopeful Ron Paul removed from future debates for holding an opinion he finds disagreeable.

In Iraq, more than 3,330 Americans have laid down their lives in the name of freedom. In dying they give eternal life to the ideas for which they died.

What does it say about today's Republican Party when Chairman Anuzis tries to extinguish a viewpoint that displeases him? Perhaps freedom is nice so long as it conforms to preapproved talking points.
