“The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns ... from the herd and thinks for himself.” - Archibald MacLeish Good point. He would be disappointed in the number of flag waving cows we have here who simply let this travesty go on without questioning the true motives instead of the BS being spun out of the White House. Again, your perception is twisted. Good example: [Nothing is more difficult, and nothing requires more character than to find oneself in open opposition to one's time (and those one loves) and to say loudly: No!] - Kurt Tucholsky, Germany, 1934 Hundreds of thousands marched in this country alone to say NO! But they were considered unpatriotic by many. Some people even went as far as misunderstanding it as it being a direct protest against our troops. As if it would equate to hatred of them. This is the mentality that we have to deal with... There is nothing wrong unpatriotic about saying NO! "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Killing children for the sake of world dominance is evil. Sitting around watching it happen and cheering it on in the name of democracy is evil. Don't let this continue. The world will not do "nothing" for long. "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis." - Dante Alighieri There are several thousand Islamists who are thinking the same thing right now. Push has come to shove. I wonder how long they will remain neutral. Got any other two sided quotes? -Flipper
