The Reverend Wright by Charley Reese http://www.lewrockwell.com/reese/reese453.html Excerpt Pretty interesting take on the Rev. I do like a man that isn't afraid to speak his mind. ~~~ Anti-Intellectualism The media, the right and 1988: Endless deja vu http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/05/04/1988/index.html Excerpt Troofer, Moonbat, Appeaser, Sympathizer, Traitor, Libtard, etc. A lot of names, not a lot of substance. Mind you, the Dems are not a whole lot better... ~~~ The CIA vs. Human Life http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig2/kondaks8.html Excerpt I still don't understand how people can think that the government has a callous disregard for human life. For the government, the ends always justify the means.
Well here's a good example of the people who do the same things to lesser beings. It's the same sick minded people like these who get the chance to step it up a notch. Although - I am not sure what is worse. Animal experimentation for the benefit of mankind - or human experimentation for the benefit of the government.
Any comments on Charley Reese's "uppity n***er" take? IMO, what Alex Jones says is very similar, and he is considered nuts by some, hyper rhetorical by others. But there seems to be a real backlash against a black man, saying pretty much what Alex says. Things that a lot of people (maybe not a majority, but a significant chunk) black and white also believe.
I agree on principle but I also think that Obama had to play the political game a bit in this situation because of the way media runs these stories and the way so many low information voters process things. Some people just hear the quote "God Damn America" and want to hear that Obama "denounces" him. You know, it's incredibly childish. But it's also the level that our media and a great deal of Americans think at. The fact is if Obama stuck to principles 100%, he wouldn't be where he is today. It's just a sad truth. You have to play politics sometimes to win the nomination of the Democrats or the Republicans. I personally think Wright was pretty much right on with most of what he said (although the conspiracy theory about AIDS was a bit much) --- He was basically saying the same thing that Ron Paul & the CIA say about "blowback." Yet somehow that's "Anti American." I HATE the way people throw that term around for anyone who questions our government. It disgusts me. I don't see how someone like Rev. Wright can be called Anti-American. It's ridiculous. He was a volunteer Marine for God's sake. Pointing out that your government is corrupt is not Anti-American - it's the most American thing you can do. Rebelling against a corrupt government is the ideal that this country is based on!
