  • Typical centrist. He keeps propping up straw-man false dichotomies to create a "rational middle ground". In that framing,everybody else is extremist.

  • They could care less about our"freedom".The fact that we have slaughtered millions in an attempt to keep the world"safe"and help spread"democracy"is why they will NEVER stop.We have terroized nations with economic sanctions,started coups, threatened(and in some cases actualy used)millitary force,sold arms to support our favorite foriegn nation at the time,stolen land and gave it to certain races/ethnicity groups.We have played mother theresa with guns,torture,and democracy rhetoric for too long.

  • ha ha, he said the laws of Afghanistan with a straight face.

  • I can't wait for Obama to be out of office so my business has a chance to grow

  • Why is "common sense" always whatever scant shred of sense that justifies what Obama wants? Even if it's exchanging freedom for a hope & a prayer of security (not that you deserve either)?

    Friggin' ridiculous.

  • I agree, just fucking with you. Peace.

  • Oh fuck, t and l aren't even close on the keyboard. Oooops! My point was correct, none the less.

  • cottect....? lol

  • Now that;s what I call Doublespeak at it's finest.

    a liar is a liar is a liar is a liar is a liar..

    Obama, Cheney, bush, clinton..a veritable

    daisy-chain of enemies of the people of the united states.

  • One correction; 'they should be hanged' is the cottect form.

  • id like to add that these people who think justice can come about through "legal" means, like the man from th Center for Constitutional Rights, are delusional. their intentions may be right, but they are dead wrong. these elite in power ARE the law, they have the authority to create the law and alter the law. ill be damned if they ever allow themselves to be persecuted under their own law. their evil legal system will never bring justice, in fact it will only perpetuate these injustices

  • bush and cheney should be hung like the nazis after nuremburg. so should obama for defending and continuing their war crimes. i think every corporate and financial elite who pull the strings of these beasts should be hung and lit on fire at the same time.

    thats my "thought crime" of the day, thanks for watching.
