The contrast between the Stewart/Colbert rally and the Nugent fearfest couldn't be more stark. The corporate elitists are relying on this fear mongering to scare people into maintaining the status quo (or moving us backwards) even though, by doing so, the majority of these people will only be hurting themselves.
Ever since Reagan began the disassembly of the American dream for the middle class, the upper 2% have manage to suck the wealth out of the lower 98%.
“And so, with a whimper rather than a bang, the US will surrender any primary combat role in Iraq to a caretaker government and a green, inefficient army, leaving a major Persian Gulf power in shambles and at risk of ongoing violence and instability.”
Well spoken Juan.
This pretty much sums up our exit from Iraq. It’s haunting how similar this is to our departure from Vietnam. We pulled our combat troops out in 1972, saying that the South Vietnamese military was adequately trained and organized enough to contain the Viet Cong and NVA assault, and that the South Vietnamese government had the full support of the people.
Three years later, we witnessed the fall of Saigon. Will we see the same thing happen in Iraq?
Spoken far better than me my friend.
Let's "Reinstate the Assault Weapon Ban!"

Very well spoken Juan,

And, they're not about to give it back.
