Free Speech & Tolerant Political Discourse

“I have always strenuously supported the right of every man to his own opinion, however different that opinion might be to mine. He who denies another this right makes a slave of himself to his present opinion, because he precludes himself the right of changing it.” —Thomas Paine, 1783—
“Free speech exercised both individually and through a free press, is a necessity in any country where people are themselves free.” —Theodore Roosevelt, 1918—
“The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.” —Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1936—
“If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” —George Orwell, 1945—
“Any time we deny any citizen the full exercise of his constitutional rights, we are weakening our own claim to them.” —Dwight David Eisenhower, 1963—
“What is objectionable, what is dangerous about extremists is not that they are extreme, but that they are intolerant.” —Robert F. Kennedy, 1964—
Go fuck yourself.” —Dick Cheney, 2004—

As Staged As Reality TV

It’s an election year, and the Bush campaign isn’t doing as well as expected. But wait… what’s that we see on the horizon? Fear, uncertainty and doubt? Bin Laden “directing an al Qaeda effort to launch an attack in the United States sometime this year”, according to “unnamed U.S. officials”?

Now wouldn’t that be just dandy, if the kindly Mr. Bin Laden would cause a ruckus just before the election? Wouldn’t that really reinforce the impression that America needs a real “war president”, one who actually likes war, instead of that namby pamby Kerry? And what if kindly Mr. Bin Laden attacks American citizens, on American soil, and then gets caught and killed in a spectacular fire fight? Now wouldn’t that be special? Now wouldn’t you vote just to see that?

Good God, how stupid could the sheeple be? November will tell.
