In honor of Joe Wilson's dissent

[feistydem]

I offer this quote:

"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."

Harry S Truman, August 8, 1950
33rd president of US (1884 - 1972)

:patriot:Thank you, Ambassador Wilson, for doing what was right, not what was convenient or comfortable. :patriot:

2. I was watching

him on C-Span and I was transfixed.
I actually felt tears welling up.
His sincerity and credibility is so apparent to me.
I feel hope for this country when we have people of this caliber speaking out for the country he loves.
That he and his family took such a hit from these pigs in office is beyond revolting.
I'm in awe of the person he is and while I don't know anything personal about his wife, I feel that she too, must be nothing but a true patriot.
Devoting your whole life to serving your country and then be hung out to dry (and possibly DIE)is deplorable and despicable.
Sue them Joe and Valerie!
Expose the cockroaches for what and who they are.

(I was REALLY disappointed C-Span cut away during his question/answer session)
