7. I am shocked to find this out!
And from a liberal press.

4. They were on their knees for awol before the 2000 selection
and have been ever since. The whoredom didn't start with the Iraq invasion.

Maybe some of them are starting to realize the pro-war propaganda they aired as news makes them just as responsible for the mass spillage of blood as the evildoers who sent the troops and dropped the bombs. Maybe they are trying to clear their conscience, wash the blood from their hands now.

They are accomplices.

5. It could be worse, actually
The press could have chosen to issue their "mea culpa" in mid-to-late-November, 2004. Shrug, hands up, ohhh, sorry!!!

6. Traitorous complicity
It is imperative that we shut the propaganda machine down.

I see no other way than to put our feet to the street and take it to their front doors.

Soon...

8. Soon...
Bloody hell son. When the Brits don't like something, we march on it. When the Spanish feel upset, they march on it. When the French feel like another national holiday, they blockade Calais.

When the US don't like something, they post on the Internet.

Do I honestly have to come over there and teach you guys how to show you're pissed of? No, of course not. So get out of your chair, get your friends together, buy a megaphone, find out where you can air your views in a public place (try the park) and screw the man. You heard me, screw the man.

You make think that one voice (crying in the darkness) is nothing, but all it takes is one voice (singing in the darkness) to start something.

Tell you what, in 1 month's time, why don't you ALL go to Washington, camp outside the White House, placards and all, get the media involved and tell more people about the site. Worse thing is that you all meet up and George gets to see some of his constituents out of a window screaming blue murder at him.

Soon....
Winners don't do things soon, son. They do things now.

9. It might take us awhile to get off our asses, but ...
Don't Mess With The USA. We're not about ready to let a bunch of money-grubbing warmongering corporations and their propaganda machine to take over yet. It might take us a while to get off our ass, but when we do there is hell to pay. Too many men and women have died for the idea of a truly free America to let it go to dictatorship. We are still fighting our revolution. We will make this a free country. We're not there yet but we won't go down without a fight. Thank you for your words of encouragement!

10. In that case, why aren't you down at Trafalgar?
My protest doesn't start for another four hours. :D

(I understand the message, just razzing you)
