(supporting the troops' is supporting your own destruction)

Sat, 29 Jun 2013

Boy did my last article ever bring the fundie flag-waving authoritarian followers out of the wood work. I've been swamped with efforts aimed at trying to guilt trip me into supporting U.S. troops.

When retired FBI agent, the now deceased Ted Gunderson, reportedly told a gathering of militia members that the federal government had set up 1,000 internment camps across the country, I had no trouble believing his statement because there is ample documentation to support his statement (e.g. REX 84, Operation Garden Plot and now the NDAA).
