Those damned liberals and their wanting facts. I remember the good ol' days where you listened to what you were told and believed what you're supposed to believe. None of these durned people wanting to mix everyone and everything together into this stew - melting pot. Ha! I wish they'd melt themselves down the drain I tell ya. Atheistic Pinko Meatheads, the lot of 'em!

1. I hate to support those Rags read this part no need to read further
One cannot help but wince along with Defense Secretary Rumsfeld as the liberal press lobs questions loaded up with misrepresentations and ulterior motives to stump this Administration in its prosecution of the War on Terrorism. As he will tell you, Rumsfeld’s facial expressions are typically that of utter dismay at the calculated and underhanded means by which the mainstream media pretends to inform America about national security and defense. It is because of the media’s tendency to propagandize our military’s missions that Rumsfeld regularly appears on shows like “Face the Nation” to set the record straight with facts.

2. That is horrifying
I mean, dear God. Fascism is getting closer and closer every day.
When I started reading, I thought, this guy is being sarcastic, its kind of funny. But then I kept reading, and came to the realization that this was not sarcasm and it was not funny.

This guy actually believes that we should not question the president or his wars. He even begins to hint that anyone questioning Bush or his policies is committing treason.

Nationalism and jingoism scare the shit out of me, and they are happening all around us.


"So, in addition to planning and executing the most complicated military operation in our nation’s history, President Bush and his Defense Department are hard at work to correct the negligent and intentional inaccuracies reported in the liberal press about the war and the people fighting on the ground. It makes you wonder which side of this war the liberals are really serving. "


The most complicated military operation in our nations history? :wtf:

Thats not enough. I have to say it again.

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Whatever happened to real journalism? Why is seeking facts a bad thing? Why are people no longer reporters, and instead sychophantic whores who can't seem to do enough to please the administration?

3. Don't confuse me with the facts.
Yes, fascism is very trendy this year. A fashionable little invasion, a tidy cut back in civil rights, a tasty turn to language from 1984, and ta da a new world order. The sheeple keep eating the grass... never even look up. MUST CONFORM, MUST OBEY, MUST NOT CRITICIZE PRESIDENT.
