YOU ARE AMERICAN HERO RAY! :)

Don't worry. When you're imprisoned, tortured, or killed, I'll come to your defense. The real sadness is in becoming a mindless, racist, half-wit, willing to kill another human based on a the psuedo-news you get fed. All i ask is that you think before you kill, or incite violence in others. The world is not as you think. It makes sense with the right perspective, and doesn't if you believe the crap you're fed.

@biker4r talk about one particular lie

What Lies!

When Ray spoke at a rally for Brad Manning, he said he wished he had done more to get the facts out when he was younger. Dan Ellsberg said the same thing. Why should retired military and intelligence officers keep silent about dirty dealings in the government? Gen Smedley Butler's book "War is a Racket" is a classic. He never would have written it if he licked government boot the rest of his life. No one owns Ray. He IS important.  He knows his shit. Our spineless fake presidents don't.

@coolmamac Ray McGovern is a shameless opportunist. The "truth" he reveals is

already out there. I believe the Iraq War was unneccessary, costly, poorly planned,

and never about WMD. McGovern's "truth" is his overwhelming sense of self importance. He goes to forums where administration officials(Bush and Obama)are

speaking to introduce himself, call them liars, and hopefully get arrested for disorderly

conduct. McGovern's agenda is book deals and lecture circuit. It's not about "truth"

@usuberalles I disagree. He may have had to keep silent for years, now he feel he must tell the truth. The truth may hurt for some, but is freedom for others.

This not how a former CIA Agent should be acting. McGovern is having a field day

pointing fingers and telling everyone who'll listen "I told you so." He's actually amused

by the policies of his own government that "he says" failed. This jackoff betrays the

trust his country invested in him. He's hardly the loyal opposition. This is a CIA agent?

A real CIA operative should tell him to sit down and shut up.

The world is now slowly unraveling (Greece? Ireland?)

b/c Cheney chose to spend all the money he could &

hide it behind the fog of 3 OFF BUDGET UNFUNDED WARS

while cutting taxes. The FBI told him in 2004 that predatory

lenders @banks & mortgage companies were putting the economy at risk.

He watched it all happen. McCain was nominated to lose

& he said as much when he "won" in NH. High U6=Obama slipping in the polls but then again so was Reagan in his 1st term.

Cheney in 2012? NO WAY!
