...and how they're used to hide behind "terrorism" to make something that was once - in the past 20 years, no less - considered a VERY Patriotic thing to do - point out a problem, and something bad, so that other Americans REALIZE it's happened. History repeats itself, but only because we don't pay attention to history.

If you take away the freedom to report the truth, no matter the enormity, no matter how horrific, you have destroyed Freedom to its core.

I'm getting sick and tired of pundits and puppets talking about how it's bad for us to say something negative about some BAD SOLDIERS, because it "makes it more dangerous."

Newsflash, as a Marine, I can tell you, it ain't gonna get any more dangerous. They already hate us, they're already going to hurt us. If anything, airing this out and saying "Hey, look, we have bad people, we've punished them and made their crime a public case," will make us look honest and humble. Humility is definitely lacking in this country's White House.

Freedom is not about who fights for what, but it's about being free to express whatever you want, whenever you want. Sure, there's limits - lying about someone (slander/libel) isn't expression of belief, it's an attack. Read your history books, folks, it's this very mindset that nearly lost us the American Revolution - "but if we talk bad about the King, he'll make it tougher on us!"

Wake up and smell the coffee. You're being played by the politicians who want you to think that it's okay to limit our freedoms and our rights.
