The good news is you'll be able to stop saying "they hate us because we're so free" -- if 850 KOA's "Gunny Bob" has anything to say about it.

Discussing the breakup of an alleged terrorist plot to attack U.S. soldiers at New Jersey's Fort Dix, Newsradio 850 KOA host "Gunny" Bob Newman said on his May 8 show that "every Muslim immigrant to America who holds a green card, a visa, or who is a naturalized citizen [should] be required by law to wear a GPS tracking bracelet at all times," and that the government should "bug their places of work and their residences" and monitor "[a]ll mosques and community centers." Newman added, "If they don't like the idea, or if they refuse, throw their asses out of this country."

Newman also suggested refusing Muslims entry into the United States by imposing a "moratorium" on visas for them. Speaking directly to the Muslim community, Newman warned, "You better get control of your own people. Once you get control of them, then come see us again and we'll think about -- however many decades down the road it is -- we'll think about maybe opening our doors to you again. But you are doing absolutely freaking nothing to help ... this nation."

Awesome, "land of the free" lovers -- and if we turn a couple million Americans and foreign visitors into a mass-surveilled underclass with no rights to privacy...based on their religion...we'll be even...free-er...

If you're thinking to yourself "wait a minute, I don't live in the same country, let alone state, as this whackjob fascist pinhead--do I?" I'm sorry to disappoint you.
