It’s Not Tyranny When The US Does It
Salon has an article about yesterday’s raids in Minnesota on potential protesters at the Republican National Convention. This sums things up pretty well:
Yet how is our own Government’s behavior in Minnesota any different than what the Chinese did to its protesters during the Olympics (other than the fact that we actually have a Constitution that prohibits such behavior)? And where are all the self-righteous Freedom Crusaders in our nation’s establishment organs who were so flamboyantly criticizing the actions of a Government on the other side of the globe as our own Government engages in the same tyrannical, protest-squelching conduct with exactly the same motives?
“Land of the Free”, my ass.
