::::: AMERICA ' s 43. President apparently has ADOPTED this Fatal and Tragic POLICY from one of History's major War Criminals ! ::::: His " Department of Homeland Security " keeps the American People in a constant State-of-Fear, by proclaiming various levels of " Terror Alerts " at all times, while simultaneously denouncing the Anti-War Activists for their supposed Lack of PATRIOTISM (see next photo). ::::: Here and now, his " Rationale ", his Modus Operandi and his Propaganda Machine is exactly the same as *prescribed* in the above quotation. :::::
::What a dark and tragic Portend for the American Civilization and for All the Civilized World.::

These are just some of the Pacifists who were denounced for "Lack of Patriotism" by right-wing Demagogues, because of their public opposition to war and aggression.

AND ANOTHER COMMENT - NEW Again:
"When, in all our [American] history, has anyone with ideas so bizarre, so archaic, so self-confounding, so remote from the basic American consensus , ever got so far?" Richard Hofstadter (American Political Historian, 1916 - 1970)
Professor Hofstadter won a Pulitzer Prize in history for The Age of Reform from Bryan to FDR (1955).
Although Hofstadter made this comment at a different time in US history, The InstaPLANET Cultural UNIVERSE cites it here as perfectly applicable to the 43.President.

IN THE WORDS OF JUSTICE DOUGLAS:
|
| |
|
|
|
" A function of free speech under our system of government is to invite dispute. It may indeed best serve its high purposes when it induces a condition of unrest, creates dissatisfaction with conditions as they are, or even stirs people to anger. " Justice William O. Douglas (1898 - 1980)
For more than 36 years William O. Douglas served as an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court. Known as a champion of civil liberties he wrote on conservation as well as on history, politics, and foreign relations.

While we must never forget, in our heart, the innocent Victims of Terrorism, we must also remember, in our cognitive mind, this time-proven fact :
Fighting militarist acts, such as hijackings and suicide-bombings, with yet more militarist acts, such as waging war on a nation, will only lead to a tragic Escalation of Violence and is guaranteed to cause even more suffering, loss of lives and hatred among mankind.
" Revenge is never sweet : its fruit is bitter : its legacy is deadly both to the human body and to the human soul. " - Ana Elsner, Poet, Human Rights Advocate and Peaceworker
