The whole point of free speech is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it.

Viva Correa!

I haven't spent any time looking at Ecuador's libertarian aspects, if there are any, but I liked what its president said in May.

"Don't come lecturing us about liberty. You need a reality check. Don't act like a spoiled rude child. Here you will only find dignity and sovereignty. Here we haven't invaded anyone. Here we don't torture like in Guantanamo. Here we don't have drones killing alleged terrorist without any due trial, killing also the women and children of those supposed terrorists. So don't come lecturing us about life, law, dignity, or liberty. You don't have the moral right to do so."
