What Democrats want is for Republicans to stop saying bad things about Obama and to stop resisting his agenda. They say they want civility in politics (after eight years of behaving abominably toward Bush and Cheney), but what they really want is their way. Now – instead of winning the battle of ideas in the public forum - they want to use the actions of a lunatic as the catalyst for Republican disarmament. Apologies for the military metaphors…..
Live from Slovakia
The Bradley Manning Support Network is a more recent creation, launched in 2010 by "cyberactivist" Mike Gogulski, a resident of Slovakia who renounced his American citizenship in 2008. The Support Network has been collecting donations for Manning's defense since July. (AOLNews.com, 1/13/11)
If ever two fellas deserved each other it’s Manning and Gogulski. Of course, as Manning sits in solitary confinement at a military prison, one can’t help but wonder if he wishes he had simply followed Gogulski’s lead and left town.
