Reply #24: "we have become the USSR"... [View All]

[ljm2002]

...so sadly true. Our press is even more effective at lying to the people than were PRAVDA and TASS, since at least their populations knew they were being lied to -- whereas our population by and large still believes that we in the US have a "free press" that is an "example to the world" of how to do that. Unfortunately for us, much of the world has long since surpassed us in freedom of information, and our press is a laughingstock.

Of course the refusal to investigate murders is not new. Remember the four American nuns raped and murdered in El Salvador, when Saint Reagan was in office? Our government lifted not a hand to find out who did it -- probably because it was almost certainly the right wing death squads that were being funded and actively aided by us at the time.

You are right, impeachment is the least we can do.
