Americans, it is now to throw away the fantasy – nobody appointed you as a police nation and you are far from a reasonable model – and start fighting for human rights and true freedom. Democrats seem to have a good plan…

One thing that is true is you are strong, darns strong, and have potential to be a terror that you say you are against… you are not, not yet, but the hidden intention behind this so-called war on terror, the intention becoming more and more obvious to the rest of the world, terrifies me.
