1. Absolutely terrible
This was discussed on another thread...US spreading "freedom" and "democracy" and freeing the world from "tyranny" (think Chimpenstein's speech).

6. They hate us for our freedoms. Obviously.
What else is there to hate? We're so cuddly.

3. & thousands of OTHER 'unfortunate incidents'
this is just one that snuck through the nazi media screen. we weren't supposed to see that. pretend you didn't see it, and you'll feel better. today's kool aid flavor is bitter lemon, but a little sugar and sunshine will make it taste better.

5. Oh damn...

This is an example of "freedom on the march". The freedom to create orphans.
