"I tell you freedom of speech will go, freedom of the press will go, and freedom of religion will go. I have warned you against propaganda and hate. We are in the midst of the greatest exhibition of propaganda that the world has ever seen. Just do not believe all you read or hear. The elect are being deceived." J. Reuben Clark, Jr.
Typical media-swallowing drone: "We need to stop Iran because they're developing nukes! We need to go in now before they bomb us all!"
Me: "Um, eight years ago we did just that in Iraq, only there weren't any nukes and that war was not only unconstitutional but immoral."
TMD: "Yeah, but this time it's different!"
Me: "...why?"
TMD: "Because the people in charge wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice--"
Me: "It sounds like you're the one being fooled twice. And yes, this time it IS different. Instead of saying the enemy has WMDs as a pretext for war, they're saying they're only DEVELOPING them. It sounds like this time what we're doing is even more unconstitutional and immoral."
TMD: "...you're not a patriot."
