It turns out that the bulk of “anti-war” activists were really just trendy anti-Bush dilettantes who could care less about the wars they protested and who evaporated the moment Obama (another shill for statist/corporate fusion) was elected.

It’s not only fascinating because Harold Cassidy is fascinating, but because he has the guts to take his case to the lion’s den: Mother Jones. He manages to make a dent in the inbred contempt of the author of the piece, and he deeply threatens the combox commentariat, who turn to one another for solace and support and Orwellian 15 Minute Hate Denunciations of Cassidy against the cries of the own consciences like primates engaged in grooming behavior after the... Read more
