NeoCon Shills

Sometimes I find it amazing what people will believe. Take this video, for example:

I may have even believed it a few years ago. Now one can just call it what it is: unadulterated propaganda. Almost straight from the still…

First thing is first: Dennis Prager is a despicable man for having paid to have such a thing made. Conservativism is dead and gone, and that which has arisen in its place is one of the ugliest ideological beasts that the world has ever seen. That one can advocate the invasion of a country of millions of mostly unarmed men, women, and children for the specter of a possibility when Iran has, over and over again, shown that they are NOT working to develop a nuclear bomb, is a deeply shameful thing.

The weapon is one of brute consequentialism that would make any evil emperor proud. Completely atrocious…
