The General and the Ambassador appear before Congress today and tomorrow to reiterate their commitment to the 'Pause' Surge strategy that has cast a magical spell over Iraq and transformed it into a veritable Narnian utopia of Middle Eastern tranquility.
Nothing will change...
For some on the right my hate speech above could be construed as treason, infact I know some consider what Reverend Wright said in the oft played, sliced and diced clip was actually treasonous!
It's odd that, to some, the Second Amendment is sacrosanct but the First Amendment is an abuse of we the people. In a few countries, over the years, Mr. Wright may well have been hauled up in front of a complicite bench and immediately found guilty of crimes against the state. Such stately pomp was termed, in the west, a 'show trial'. In Stalinist Russia and Maoist China such show trials were very popular amongst the paranoid elites that ruled, still do in China's case, those countries. In the US it is still not a crime to speak out against intolerance, bigotry or injustice, one perceives as systemic, in ones country through the power of speech and long may that right remain. Mr. Wright was not inciting against the State, he was not attacking any individual or government, he was expressing his opinion, wrong or right, he is entitled to that.
