    patrickhenrypress commented on the diary post WATCH: Protest For Bradley Manning, NYC City Hall by Brian Sonenstein.

    2011-04-11 16:35:19View | Delete

    I tried to explain to my elderly mother what was happening to Bradley and she refused to believe it. She refuses to believe the president would allow this. She believes the man she supported and voted for would never allow such a travesty of justice to occur in America. She cannot accept that an American [...]

    Someone posted on another thread a quote from him in 2005 which suggests the rhetoric of the campaign was misunderstood by most of us. He meant to compromise. He signaled it when he said he’d negotiate (in the context of foreign adversaries) anyone at any time.

    Negotiation = compromise. We’ve been compromised. Negotiation complete.

    Based on his actions, that’s what he meant. The rest was hollow rhetoric crafted to win election. He and his handlers knew Bush would be despised. And they knew we’d elect Stalin himself if he masqueraded as the AntiBush.

    may even be allowed to sit in and provide guidance

    No. They lied. It’s what they do. Believe the opposite of the words.

    I sadly stand corrected.

    The whole damn world’s watching.

    Bradley Manning case sparks UN criticism of US government

    This is disgusting. I am sick to death of the people running us into the ground and the enablers who don’t just stand by and allow it to happen, but encourage it!

    Our government is illegitimate. I f’ing want to sue.

    It’s early. I’m watching my language. My blood just boils over this.

    Well, I suppose he needs his legacy. OTOH, perhaps the Pentabrains have intercepted communications from space aliens indicating the cyborg invasion fleet will target Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan or Pakistan. Being unsure of which, they do what they’ve always done. Occupy them all! At great expense!!! Forever!!!! By losing our shirts, we’ll save planet earth? Well, [...]

    I think he’s lost his compass again. It’s as if he vacations inside the beltway sometimes. Sorry, John. The budget isn’t exactly progressive.

    Or inexactly, for that matter.

    Back in college I studied, among other things, mathematics and computer science. There were few pictures. We students managed to get our degrees, regardless. Once upon a time I had signing authority in a bank. To get that, I memorized the bank’s SPM, the Standard Practices Manual. There were no pictures. Somehow I figured it [...]

    Or who provide easy targets for those who intend to smear others with the “terrorist” label as an excuse for more illegitimate wars.

    Sadly, the country’s been moving backward since that day after election Nov 08.

    I’d suggest it has been since Nov. 22, 1963.

    There is only one political party. It has two faces, but the end result is identical. One wants us to kneel so we might kiss the rings on their fingers. The other pulls the rug out from under us to bring us to our knees.

    Tell your friend you have a better idea: eliminating from the rolls those who despise it.

    Like the entire Republican party.

    2008: People cried tears of joy and relief when Obama was elected.

    If progressives want to differentiate themselves, and make a difference, I have a suggestion.

    Impeach the S.O.B.

    As Ricky Ricardo’s agent knew, it’s not what you do. It’s how you advertise it. How many news cycles would be spent displaying the wrath of the left against the charlatan in the White House?
