I've about given up on Americans realizing that our national heritage and international reputation have been shredded. Who really cares if Obama is following the same path of the Bush/Cheney administration took to the dumping ground of History? The Constitution is only a "quaint" piece of paper, after all! That 1.3 million Americans only died to defend it against all enemies foreign - and domestic is their lookout! So let's limit the freedoms and violates the principles these warriors died to protect! It's for the national defense!
Maybe if the war against the world is won in favor of multinational corporofascism, they might see fit to erect a giant obelisk to represent that used in the screwing of the little people to enhance and advance the economic prospects for the wealthy in the world. It could be made of gold-plated imaginary benefits and filled with the empty promises of a better life. It's about the least they could do - or would - but only if there is a profit for themselves in it. It's the American Way!

This article belongs 'above the fold'. Good work.

For someone who obviously 'cares' so much, I look forward to your complimentary article 'Who remembers the greatest genocides in history, 100 million dead, and a Gulag for your thoughts?(The deadly and violent history of oppression from the left and the douchebags who ignorantly still support it)'

'Complimentary'? I think you mean 'non-sequiturial' or some such.

Screw escaping mechanisms.

What are you bitching about, Doug?

Life is too easy and I have nothing better to do. Also, I made a nice rendition of mark's name rife with special characters that wasn't able to make it through legibly.

Some of this article actually makes a great deal of sense, but why is it so long and why does it cover so many topics? Seriously, it would be far more effective broken down into 3 or more clear and succinct topical articles.

Whatever. As long as it doesn't deteriorate to a dragged-out fight of the kind we had yesterday on Glenn's thread. The contestants were virtually at each other's throat.

Well, Dave - shouldn't the editor take a lead role here?

Good article. Well written, entertaining and captivating.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with Realist you have to admit he made his points forcefully and backed them up with solid citations.
One can only hope that the comments will be as literate.

Wow, if General Butler is telling the truth, then Realist broke the story that the Spanish-American War was corrupt!
13 - Dave Nalle
Baronius, I'm pretty sure the Rickover commission covered that ground thoroughly back in 1974.

So long as you guys remember your war dead by grilling hotdogs instead of visiting soldiers' graves, being porked and spitted like hotdogs by the corporate pigs grilling you will be what you deserve.
I couldn't quite follow this particular rant (I just got up), but if you guys are buying bullets from Israel, you can't be doing too bad. I just hope your currency holds up long enough to pay for them!
