"...i talked to Iraq about a 'free press.' We can't talk about one thing and do another. But we're at war. And it's important that people don't forget that."

This is not out of context. He talked about the importance of a "free press" in america and qualifies it with "but we're at war." At a newspaper editors' convention. How/why they don't feel the need to charge the stage, i don't get.

Thanks pukes, the first amendment now has a caveat. The boldness of their fascism is un-fing-believable.

Sorry if this is dupe, i'm just watching it now.

2. I'm ashamed to admit this...

but I'm genuinely scared. Before, I was just pissed. Now I'm freaking terrified of what these people will do next. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to go down fighting, but holy cow. I can't believe my ears and eyes. And some of our neighbors WANTED this?

I just don't get it. Thankfully.
