    "Historic" - just hype and a deceptive sales pitch

    Sucker them with "race" and "history" as if the mainstream media gives a damn about anything other than selling us a war that we don't need and cannot afford.

    Go ahead and vote for war and pretend that you are honoring Dr. King because the news media says it's history so lets make history and screw the fact that we are all getting screwed by the war industry.

    Get ready to send your sons and daughters to Pakistan to fight another phony war and bankrupt our nation even further. They can't wait for us to get nuked by some ticked off amateurs because America is just a season of "24" to these morons. Except there are no Jack Bauers.
