He did'nt say its a good thing the terrorists are standing up against US soldiers he said we need to support the Iraqi citizens that are standing up against the US invasion. If China invaded us today should we just sit back and let them push their ideology onto us and then exploit all of our recourses?

im 23 yrs of age, but im finally free. i took the journey to the center of my mind. freedom is there, its waiting for everyone, zack gave me more of an education on political/educational realities in my teens than i ever wouldve gotten in any school, ANYWHERE. everyone out there, if ur a part of the system, get out or off yourself. if you can't, then fuck you. keep it up zack, youre doing good work. i never wouldve had to take the journey back to the center if it wasnt for catholicism.

@Ericsmums Are you stupid as well as ignorant?

[Hannahh90s]

@Griffin2529 That's such an ignorant comment.

Zack, look deep in your so-called pure heart, and spend some of your millions, down south of the boarder where you can undermined the corrupt Mexican government. Oh, wait, you can’t do that because you will be put in jail, or deported, or killed…damn.

@kilosnew I read somewhere that Zack was a Libertarian Socialist so yeah, I would easily believe that they are Socialist. I like how people think that Socialism is bad having no idea what the standards are. This country is so fucked with people who run their mouths off with no idea what their saying. I'll take Socialism over Capitalism anyday, not from what history has taught us about it, but from the purity of it.

@mmv5com Which one? The claim that Tom, and the other guys in the band are socialists? What I said about socialists? Or that Obama was a step in the right direction, but he isn't doing enough? For the socialist claims just look up "Tom Morello Adlercast interview on youtube. Or you can look it up on his bio on wiki. He is listed as an american socialist. All the band members are. Since I am a socialist I think In would know what true socialists are for. And Obama didn't make HC universal.

[mmv5com]

@kilosnew can you cite that?

[kilosnew]

@mmv5com Actually they are socialist. Tom Morello has described himself as a socialist, and they all believe the same thing that true socialists believe: that every person has a right to universal healthcare, and that every person deserves a good job, and that there shouldn't be a class war going on where the rich only look out for themselves, and the poor get shit on by the rich assholes. Obama was a step in the right direction but he hasn't done enough to help the working class people.
