Verbal irony and sarcasm comes to mind... Well, the truth in America is well guarded by lies...

Mike you must be Joking - "a nation under atheism" :America is as far from atheism as America is from peace. It's battle cries, carrying the cross and waving the flag can been seen by all nations. Really, that was a very silly comment. If America was a nation under atheism perhaps we would have peace and not have nationalism and capitalistic war mongers making war under the banner of God. Anybody, who is anybody, knows that America is the most religious country in the western world. Look what happened to the Americas when white religious fundamentalist's converted the indigenousness population while at the same time spreading smallpox and other disease's (genocide). Your comment does not reflect the true history of America - unbelievable. Religion is the curse of America, curse of the world, it has a history written in blood - As Gandhi said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

This reasoning has been used throughout the ages and now they have the media in their pocket it is disastrous. Robert, well said, yes, we should quote you on this - probably, one of the top comments made on LibertyTree. Well done! Is RBE your initials?

Ken, spending trillions on a war machine is not a lot of money???????? The war machine has made Billionaires and is still doing so. Paul please do not stop your rants we need them. The majority of Americans are indebted to the system so why would they vote against it. Until we stop the money train war will continue, until we stop this madness called terrorism (most of which are freedom fighters) wars will continue, until we stop this madness called greed and profits from killing, wars will continue. Now we have the King of Qatar under the American auspices selling Libyan oil - now you know the reason for war.Because China gets oil from the Sudan (where genocide is going on even today) America has a hands off agreement with them - I'm wondering how long that will last now the heat is on over Pakistan. The Rothschild's, their club members, and the media which they own, have us where they want us, uneducated and fodder for their wars.

Kings and Corporations: What really proves the quote are all the millionaires made from the war machine - terrorism has made many evil people very rich - why do you think they harp on it day after day. Yet, you are more likely to die from a dog bite that a terrorist. Black ops will continue while it makes corporations rich - anything to spread fear so that they can take away more rights - soon you will have NONE.

Excellent! thank you all - Editor, yes, I agree, the only reason I went Anonymous was because of the trite personal comments. So, let's see if we have matured.................... I will use Robken from now on....................

Yes! War brings out the good and the bad - BUT, if soldiers, our brothers and sisters, refused to pick up weapons to kill their brothers and sisters, for the sake of greed and power, there would be no WARS

Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Security, freedom, patriot act, anti-terrorism, the constitution (what's left of it) and democracy, are all an illusion - the answer is simple - STOP BEING A PART OF THE SYSTEM - GO LOCAL, BANK LOCAL (with a law that the bank can only remain in the community) GROW YOUR OWN FOOD, STOP EATING MEAT, STOP BUYING PRODUCTS OUTSIDE THE COMMUNITY, BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY POWER, START A COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AND MEDIA STATION. There are a number of communities in America that are nearly self-sufficient, like Burlington in Vermont. Carlton, please add to the above or make corrections. Your views are important.

DULCE ET DECORUM EST(1) Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, till on the haunting flares we turned our backs and towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots but limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! An ecstasy of fumbling, fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; but someone still was yelling out and stumbling, and flound'ring like a man in fire or lime. . . Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, as under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, he plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace behind the wagon that we flung him in, and watch the white eyes writhing in his face, his hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; if you could hear, at every jolt, the blood come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, my friend, you would not tell with such high zest to children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori. Wilfred Owen, 8 October 1917 - March, 1918

Yes, let us remember this [Memorial Day] weekend the millions we have killed in the name of freedom and democracy - If those coming to the new world are responsible for the subsequent genocide of its indigenous inhabitants we should perhaps change our teachings to those of Buddhism.

When will the Christians of America behave likewise? when will they too demonstrate against these evil wars perpetrated in their name.

I suppose it will soon be treason in America when you criticize the government. What the hell are American's doing? why are their no national demonstrations by the people against this tyranny - in Europe they have realized the corruption of government and started demonstrations - its now our responsibility for the continuation of humanity to do the same.

yes, and now they are trying to get us all into WWIII - AND THESE GOONS ARE MEANT TO BE SERVING OUR BEST INTEREST - WHAT A JOKE....... THEY SERVE, WELL, YOU KNOW WHO THEY SERVE AND ITS NOT THE PEOPLE...

In most cases America has been at war with freedom fighters, and as long as the American public are OK with it, our government calls these freedom fighters terrorists, and our wonderful media goes along for the ride - that is the Hegel syndrome - now they are performing black ops in Pakistan so that they have an excuse for going in to save the world. Now China and Russia enter the arena if America is stupid enough not to heed China's warning then it may well be WWIII.

This is a very Important topic and deserves much longer comments. When did America make the wrong turn, the result of which we are now experiencing? Was it 1913 on Jekyll Island; was it the embracing of the 1773 Rothschild gathering to rule the world; then in 1821 it began, the great mind switch: thesis plus antithesis equals synthesis, which we use to this very day. The list goes on - what do you think are and were the major wrong turns?

Where are the Edward Murrow's of today - we need them urgently. Today, media reporters are told what to say and no longer have any ethics, those that do soon lose their program/jobs.

And boy, did they find one! Watch out Pakistan you may be next - though China may stop that - we'll just have to see. Is America wanting WWIII?

We think we must have suffering because of our ego and greed. Alas man is still an infant - my only wish is that he can survive to become a Man.

WE ARE BORN INTO A TRIBE!!!!!

Mike, when will you stop this stupid rhetoric "We are free with inalienable rights at law" and realize that it has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with inalienable rights, it has all to do with reality - your words are empty with moral and ethical action, and lately there is very, very, little of that in America. America has become very evil and its time for action that may, just, bring us closer to our inalienable rights. God has nothing to do with being born free what a load of &%^$. This is the kind of rhetoric that creates division and hatred - WE ARE BORN INTO CHAINS AND OUR LIFE IS SPENT WITH AN HACKSAW .

About time we had a quote that blasted the myth of being born free - well done RM. The history of America is genocide this is why we do nothing to prevent genocide in other countries - its their resources we want not to promote freedom - what a joke to humanity. The USA foreign policy is criminal and that's why they get out of any accord or treaty. And yet we sit on our sofas twiddling our fingers and do nothing.

Love It! I sometimes wonder who the fool is? Jim, if we start on your level we will all have black-eyes. It's a proven fact Liberals have the highest IQ and Austin Tx has the highest in Texas.

"Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of Ethic's"

Yes, as is evident with the American People but, as David said, there is a percentage that overcome this - I'd say 5%
