He has repeatedly lied about his position and now has appointed an unrepentant, rabid fascist to his cabinet. Remember, laws against possession are laws against consumption. Laws against consumption are based on the flawed fascist premise that might makes right and your body is government property. Like his predecessors, Obama will maintain the American empire, protect the slave state, and preserve the status quo. This man is not a savior--he is just another business-as-usual politician who cares about his own career more than he cares about human rights. It's time for people to face the facts: THERE IS NO MEANINGFUL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEMOCRAT & REPUBLICAN PARTIES. These century-old private corporations are corrupt beyond any hope of reform--and so is anyone they endorse for president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28543539.post-1983819212378894082008-02-06T10:51:00.000+00:002008-02-06T10:51:00.000+00:00max - yes he said it ages ago but it is relevant n...max - yes he said it ages ago but it is relevant now as he is running for president, and also to highlight the disjuncture with the backwards debate in the UK.
