  1. “Our” troops sure got an early start “fighting for our freedom,” didn’t they?

    Seriously, the lie that the US military protects our freedom is one of the stupidest and most dangerous lies of our time. It’s a cancer that’s eating into the brains of our countrymen, and it needs to be challenged at EVERY opportunity.

    The military needs to be recognized for what it is — the gravest existing danger to our freedom, by far — and countermeasures need to be thought out in advance in the event that “our” troops are used against us (again).

    1. Exactly, BMF.

      And it’s these “I love the military,” “they keep us free and safe at home” that chant that idiotic mantra, “USA, USA, USA.”

  2. Yes, the founders starting violating the Con stitution before the ink was dry. Having just fought a war for independence from the tax happy king, Washington turns right around and shoots Americans for not paying HIS tax! George Washington, the original scum traitor.
