51. Everyone is entitled to an opinon, but we all work with the same reality

Jul 2013

And the facts are these:

The US GOVERNMENT is committing treason against its people and attacking the rest of the world with its spying.

These brave people quinnox listed exposed that, among others.

They are heroes of the People, the only LEGITIMATE source of government in a democracy (or any other government, for that matter).

(If you can't change the facts, just attack the messengers--or change the subject. But do it somewhere else, or you are going on my Ignore list!)
