Twisting the Minds of the American People

By Brian Cloughley, CounterPunch

Let me paint a word picture. An unarmed, wounded American soldier is lying helpless, bleeding and barely conscious on the floor of a church in a country with which the US is at war. An armed soldier of that country walks up to the wounded American. It so happens that a TV cameraman is present. He films the foreign soldier shouting, "He's fucking faking he's dead!" One of his comrades says "And he's breathing". The first soldier again yells "He's faking he's fucking dead!" He then kills the helpless, wounded man with a burst of fire that blows his head off and spatters the room with blood and tiny bits of flesh and bone. One of the foreign soldiers says "He's dead, now."

Question One: What do you think the reaction of most of the American people would be to the murder of a wounded, unarmed US soldier lying helpless and barely conscious on the floor of a church in a foreign land?

Question Two: What was the reaction of most of the American people to the murder of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi lying helpless and barely conscious on the floor of a mosque in his own country?

2. The truth of that article makes me feel ashamed to have to admit to being

an American. I am embarrassed that the government of my country condones and encourages the behavior that is described there.
The slippery slope is leading us right down into the inferno of Fascism, and parallels to Hitler are getting more and more accurate.
It scares the hell out of me....actually makes me physically ill.

Check out that bankrupcy bill & the min wage vote.
It's fucking OVER, people.
