The Patriotism Police: This Modern World

Your Homeland Security tax dollars at work.

Over the iron gates at the entrance of Auschwitz was written "Arbeit Macht Frei"
"Work will set you free"

3. Hyperbole
You sound kind of like a freeper--particularly when you suggest that we live under the illusion that life in NK, Iran, or China is great.

Still I could be wrong, and if so, allow me to explain that Mr. Tomorrow is exagerating certain aspects of our current situation for humerous effect.

6. Whew! Constructive criticism! Worldwide Blogging! Censorship and Slavery!
You really have those rote right wing talking points down pat. If only we (the so-called "liberal left") could attain to such a lofty degree of individuality that we sound like every other chekhovian whining champ-een to grace these dirty boards! My shining stars and streamers.

Read the rules. Don't like 'em? Don't come here.

As for your dread world-wide blog, I expect that many here would take their chances with your skewed version of reality and miniscule readership, champ.

7. maybe dems should spend more time pointing out what's right in America
Kind of like the Republicans did the eight years before this current disaster in office. :shrug: You slay me. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha What exactly is right in America this last three years anyway?

8. Thanks for visiting
we're glad your stay was short.

censorship, control, enslavement. Kind of sounds like a Rushbot talking point.

It's called "satire."
