Great social-patriotic non-sense. A celebration of U.S. patriotism is a celebration for U.S. slaughter and imperialism. We have seen Obama's kind of inaugral celebration before with Ronald Reagan and JFK. Any person who opposes the slaughter, degradation, and exploitation of people around the world should be frightened by such displays in the U.S. What is Obama going to change in the U.S. empire? Is he going to dismantle the regional commands? stop supporting Israel in their slaughter of Palestinians? stop the bombing of Pakistan, and withdraw from Afghanistan? stop the continual slaughter of people in countries like Hati and Colombia? I don't get it. Why would a person who calls herself a communist endorse this celebration of U.S. super-patriotism? > > > WL. > > This email was cleaned by emailStripper, available for free from > http://www.papercut.biz/emailStripper.htm > > > > > > > ------------------------------ > *Inauguration '09*: Get complete > coverage<http://www.aol.com?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000027>from the nation's > capital. >
