How could this be the land of the free, the home of the brave?
Indigenous holocaust and the home of the slaves
Human rights violations, we continue the saga
El Slavador and the Contras in Nicaragua
They bombed innocent people trying to murder Saddam
When we gave him those chemical weapons to go to war with Iran
This is the information that they hold back from Peter Jennings
Because Condoleeza Rice is just a new age Sally Hemmings
And they refuse to even mention European intervention
Or the massacres in Jenin, the innocent screams
U.S. manufactured missles and M-16's
Weapon contracts and corrupted american dreams
Media censorship blocking out the video screens
And on top of that they still want to take us to prison
Just because we wont trade humanity for patriotism

Wish I could say these were my own words, but these are lines from "The 4th branch" by Immortal Technique. Wasnt going to mention it until after everybody answered because there are many narrow minded people that will ignore the post as soon as they read its from a rap song.

It is part of the conservative white-trash Christians psyche as pathological liars that they lie about all things (even when it might serve their purpose to tell the truth).
The don’t seem to see the kissy-face lovey-dovey picture of Saddam and Rumsfeld hanging on the wall, and it is of no interest to them why Hussein still refers to Reagan as a great friend and President.
Their goal is the overthrow of the US government.
There is no question of our Founding Fathers intentions when they excluded any mention – not one – of God, Christianity, or Jesus from the US Constitution.
Then there is always this statement passed unanimously by the 1797 Congress and signed into law as part of a treaty:
“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion”

Conservatives and the religious right want to destroy the real America and replace it with a Theocratic government based on the evil morality of their rape-torture-kill Christian God.
The First Amendment does not say that stupid white-trash Christians get to make the rules and run the country.

Ever heard of Iran/Contra affair?
North and Bush?
Reagan and Bush?
Bush and Cheney with Rumsfeld?
Or even The treatment of American Indians and Blacks?
Apathy is not Empathy.
Humanity should never be considered inhumane!

Dig out deeper, you may arrive with hair raising facts.
Team up with a committed group from different location so you can get proper inputs, from different location.
Find more people like you who are willing to do something for slicing this "cunning power grabber" and sent it to the different media to expose their coward act.
THIS IS THE WORK OF A TRUE SOLDIER OF GOD.
GOD WILL REWARD YOU WITH ETERNAL BLISS.

Unfortunately 'terrorism' has been US policy for decades
"Acts of terrorism are not intended to merely victimize or eliminate those who are killed, injured or taken hostage but rather to intimidate and influence the societies to which they belong."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/terrorist...
My take:
This country that we love to be free
Is committing crimes against humanity
They hide the truth with candid lies
But can never erase the victims cries
And all the while they want us to hate
But for real patriots it's never to late
We'll stand up and fight for democracy
Like the founding fathers said it to be.

That...was...beautiful. You should get that published. And I don't even mean the message alone. The way it flowed, that was true art.
