No justice, no habeas corpus, no protection from cruel and unusual punishments, but plenty of organs if your rich and need a transplant...welcome to The Peoples Republic of America. What to do with all the disgruntled, unruly, unemployed masses? 1) Send them to 'camp' 2) Put them on a 'diet'. 3) Was it Swine flu that's coming back this winter? Make sure you get your untested and hastily brewed vaccine or, NO KIDDING, you may die and the government won't be responsible. 4) Bring in some foreign help to teach the people other languages. If the people don't understand what HALT means keep shooting them when they run until they figure it out. 5) Magnetic brain zappers. (I'v read that Congress actually ordered something like this). I think i made my point. Thank you for reading it. (I’d be very interested to know his take on 9/11).

What to do with all the disgruntled, unruly, unemployed masses?
1) Send them to ‘camp’
2) Put them on a ‘diet’.
3) Was it Swine flu that’s coming back this winter? Make sure you get
your untested and hastily brewed vaccine or, NO KIDDING, you may die and the government won’t be responsible.

The chickens have come home to roost. They are in all of our so-called education institutions from K through grad school. Stupidity has been institutionalized. We must do more than 'defend' Churchill. We must join him in spreading the true history of the US. Nice reading this article on the same day that the poll results are announced - more than 60% of USAsians STILL think it was a good idea to drop the bombs on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. And we wonder why they hate us. Anyone who speaks the truth about the USA in the USA is at risk. The chickens have come home to roost.

Its behavior is reprehensible and its reasoning, irrational. It places CU in the spotlight of academic depravity. But alas, the administration is clearly too ignorant to see, acknowlwedge or change the errors of its ways. Quite obviously, it prefers CU to be a bastion of academic SLAVERY.

I wonder who they are. And I wonder how they slipped past the CO side's voir dire. And kudos to Turley, who's a gem.
