Condemned To Repeat

Reading about the solitary confinement of PFC Bradley Manning, we found a BJ quote w/ which we must take exception:

There is absolutely no reason for this whatsoever, other than the fact that the United States has morphed into a brutal and repressive regime that is terrified of dissent.

The reason, Mr. Cole, is that they want to make Manning admit/confess/fabricate that Wikileaks aided & advised Manning in his alleged obtaining & disseminating the catalog of gov't. lies & bullshit.

But we're really bitching about this: "Has" morphed into yada? These United Snakes have been a brutal, repressive & (most evil of all) fully hypocritical regime since any example a reasonably bright high-schooler could dig up from the 18th century. We're a proud high school dropout, so we won't look. Oh, what the fuck, let's just show up those smarty-pantses w/ their pieces of paper. Here:

Under the threat of war with France, Congress in 1798 passed four laws in an effort to strengthen the Federal government. Known collectively as the Alien and Sedition Acts, the legislation sponsored by the Federalists was also intended to quell any political opposition from the Republicans, led by Thomas Jefferson.

Yep, took nine yrs. from ratifying the Constitution to passing anti-free speech legislation. This country has been "exceptional" only in its filthy hypocrisy since its founding. Wise the fuck up already!
