"If we ever give up the desire to help people who want to live in a free society, we will have lost our soul as a nation," George the Lesser said today in a press conference about how goes the illegal, undeclared-by-Congress war in Iraq, in which four more American GI's were killed today.
We lost our soul as a nation when we sold our freedom because of "terrorists," spending over 300 billion dollars on an illegal war unrelated to the "terrorists," instead of taking care of the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. I have run into a number of them on my walks around town, and I am ashamed of the manner in which many of our citizens are forsaken and discarded. I suspect that there are many more here than I have seen and much more in other cities across this country.

Posted by: Anji at August 22, 2006 10:00 AM"The tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free" seems to encompass a lot of people in this country today. How many people are tired from trying to make ends meet and how many yearn to breathe and be freed from the bonds the rich have imposed on them?
