why has this not been on TV? ;)

[calorus]

Why would it be on TV?

The Police are supposed to be viewed as our "Protectors", the Armed Forces as "Heroes" and Protesters as "Cowards and Commies".

The second the Heroes become protesters and the Protectors do more harm to the Heroes than the Demon Villains (Taleban and Iraqi dissidents) managed, the cover is blown.

Freedom of speech is a myth, and how every much you've risked to protect your country, you never have access to your constitutional right.
