[DelinquentFaith]

What makes Americans gullble is their refusal to admit they can be duked. They rather continue with a lie than admit they have been fooled so easily.

Well, a lot of Americans have admitted this mistake and that they were duped by this, but there's still quite a few morons who won't.

We are now being fooled again with this fraudulent election coverage we are getting on the idiot candidates we have to choose from.

If we had a true monetary system, we would not be able to put this war on our giant credit card. Income tax would be at 90% and people would truly understand the costs associated to war. Most hardly feel anything about all those lives anymore. Banking that is not under control will ALWAYS END IN WAR! STOP REPEATING HISTORY!!!!

Judit Miller and her ilk should be tried for massive neglegant manslaughter if not for the War Crime of fomenting unjustified, preemptive war and facilitating the deaths of over 1 million people including almost 4,000 US troops! We and the rest of the world were betrayed by the spinless mainstream media -- the flunkies of the neo cons of the US government.
