I tried no to check on Gordon Duff today, but I couldn’t resist. Apparently, the Egyptians who are rioting in the streets<\/a> are more free than we Americans in the world of Duff;<\/p>\n

Egyptians, by the millions, have hit the streets to bring down 30 years of a government that wasn\u2019t hated 30 years ago, not by so many. 30 years is a long time, trading stability and security for freedom, and getting neither. 30 years of Mubarak<\/p>\n

America is ten years into the same cycle, patriot acts, habeas corpus gone, a Department of Homeland Security, demonstrations only allowed in \u201cfree speech zones.\u201d<\/p>\n

I so envy the people of Egypt and the pride they are feeling, no matter how this ends. They stood on their feet, something the people of America have failed at since the early 1970s. I don\u2019t count the Tea Party, with its financing from billionaires and its love of war and the frightening ambivalence it has shown for the real constitution, real American rights, real American freedoms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, protests are cool as long you agree with Gordon. Then this most curious statement;<\/p>\n

Ever see a gun owner at an anti-war rally? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a matter of fact, yes I have. I was at a boatload of anti-war rallies. I saw Uncle Jimbo at an anti-war rally once. <\/p>\n

What a dick.<\/p>\n

Whenever there is flag waving and speeches, we know a truckload of manure is coming. Speaking for America\u2019s veterans, which I actually do, I thank those of you who supported the politicians who have turned on those who gave so much to defend their country. You say you were too busy worrying about \u201cObamacare\u201d to think about veterans and our military? They\u2019re only starting with us, veterans are always an easy target. They have plans for the rest of you. Watch gas prices rise, health care standards plunge, watch criminals of every kind operate with \u201cMadoff\u201d impunity, just as they did during the Bush years.<\/p>\n

Thanks. We will remember you for this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Duff speaks for you?<\/p>\n

Ten years later, I know how the people of Egypt feel because I feel the same way, oppressed by a government that has made a sham out of elections, a government that cares nothing about people or laws, one that only serves the pack of criminals crawling the sewers of Washington DC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Funny how Duff can dislike government so much and get his reasons completely backwards. I think the Mossad has been pissing in his cornflakes again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
