    Yep trouble makers from the left and freedom fighters from the right. It was reported from the liberal press. How sad this has become as the citizens of this nation get played, the main worry is who won on AI or some other not even close to reality show. Going down.

    It’s hard to think of a better analogy for the GOP’s contempt for the people and democracy than this:

    As a representative, have a “town hall” where only the questions that favor your position are allowed. (LAZY, at best.) When someone asks a question that you don’t want answered, have them drug out in handcuffs.

    The right wingers want to crush dissent. They allow no other point of view. They don’t accept the results of elections.

    We’re at war.

    Censorship isn’t just for the right, it’s for 0 also. I wouldn’t have expected anything different.

      Manning sits in a cell about 45 miles to the north of me. I have half a mind, not a full one, to go and see him.

          The gas is no problem. And lunch either. Do you have a remedy for my being almost too chicken to do it?

          Let me look and see what is new on Wikileaks.

              Maybe I should contact the lawyer and see if there is anyone already visiting him, or if he can be visited.
