Impeachment anyone? Cheney first, if you please.

If you never develop a citizen's ability to reason, you suffocate his ability to question authority. It's the Great American Lobotomy, and they've won.

It’s run by a Greek.
And he keeps good things to eat
But you should hear him speak!
When you ask him anything, he never answers “no”.
He just “yes”es you to death, and as he takes your dough
He tells you

“Yes, we have no bananas
We have-a no bananas today.
We’ve string beans, and onions
Cabashes, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned tomato (toe-mott-o)
A Long Island potato (po-tott-0)
But yes, we have no bananas.
We have no bananas today….

If a non-state actor sets off a bomb and kills innocent people, that is terrorism. If a government soldier does the same thing, it's an act of patriotism. If Bill Ayers had just joined official government forces, and set off bombs in, say, a Vietnamese village, killing innocent civilians, he would be a patriot. Don’t you guys understand?
