One could say that the colonization of America was even worse than those actions in terms of civilian lives lost due to political reasons.

Anything can be worse if you stretch the timeline out long enough. After all the undisputed King in terms of civilian lives lost due to political reasons is our species colonization of Earth no?

In fairness most of those were killed by disease, the white folk didn't exactly do much besides cough. If we are to start comparing bloodshed good old Tamerlane one day decided built some minarets out of skulls so he slaughtered 70,000 Persians to get them (you didn't want to be one of Tamerlane's troops and not comeback with a severed head that day!)

That's the kind of bloodshed that even the staunchest Nazi, Communist or Dark Lord of the Sith would consider excessive.

It is strange to see this, in patriotic America. But it really should not be celebrated ..

However i have seen no link in months that would not go to Fox news or CNN, directly or indirectly. Is there really no other media left ? Are they all in the hands of this retarded dumb media empire, where every journalist is happy to be "embedded" as a "patriot", and gets direct advice on what and how to publish ?
The press was never free, but that ???
I must say i doubt every 'news' Fox or CNN publishes, and if it is about a dead sparrow.

try Drudge report, or report it yourself, you must have a phone with a camera, you see some thing you post it, that's how they saved that marine that was scooped up by the FBI, for posts on facebook his mother video-ed it and posted it on youtube,, if the media doesn't want report what's going on then it's up to us to get the word out,, Between Vendor and myself you have gotten more news and entertainment, here than you can get anywhere else, well that's my opinion.

But in defense of the educrats, superintendent for the Conewago Valley School District Rebecca Harbaugh says they once put on a show celebrating freedom.

These are the kinds of statements that are just dumb attempts to perpetuate the victim complex. The media isn't reporting it? What do you call Drudge, Fox News, Glenn Beck's website, et al.? That's not the media? Fox fans love to bash the "lamestream media" and then turn around and crow about how Fox is the most watched news channel. You can't have it both ways.

This might be entertaining but I think this would go over like a fart in a space suit.

The incident was found to be inappropriate. The marching band should stick to music and the usual band uniform. The theatrics is best left to the theater department.

We carry on...

I did't say fox and freinds weren't reporting this,,, where do you think I get this stuff to share with you from a crystal ball, by the way mines broke. I meant the mainstream wasn't reporting except fox excuse me I'll try to be more clear..

America 2012:

The US has a gigantic trade deficit with the biggest dictatorship in the world, their "marts" are full with stuff made there.
People who think they are patriots by putting up a China-made flag sticker on their car, twitter the news on their icrap device - made in factories with work conditions so bad that the workers there start a riot:

Freedom is at stake because a school band in onehorsetown, US performs a little play.

I could only laugh at the irony dripping from it, if it wasn't so damned sad.


Hey Yubba: you want to stand up for freedom? Stop supporting a country where re-education camps exist, look where you buy your stuff. That's a little baby step which requires as few effort as posting on a board in the web. And stand up for the freedom of others - be happy to live in a country where freedom of academia and freedom of art exist. The last time I checked, they were still there. You also have the right to report the school to the police, if they did something illegal. Defend all these rights, as well as the right to have a different opinion.

I'll close my rant with a little quote:
Quote:
"Freedom only for government supporters, only for the members of a party – however numerous they may be – is no freedom. Freedom is always the freedom of those who think differently, to voice their opinion. Not because of the fanaticism of justice, but because all the vitalizing, wholesome, and purifying in political freedom depends on this characteristic, and its effects cease to work when freedom becomes a privilege."
Rosa Luxemburg - evil Commie bitch, murdered by people who didn't like her opinion
