When I was growing up, it was 'Communists'. Now it's 'Terrorists'. So you always have to have somebody to fight and be afraid of, so the war machine can build more bombs, guns, and bullets and everything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Military dictatorship, you can focus on it, you can fight it directly. It's a band of power-driven people.
You cannot avoid war in life, you cannot avoid the fear of terrorism, you cannot avoid those things now, they are a part of everyday demeanor.
They were terrified that we were going to become an anti-war kind of platform.
I'm a warrior at heart; I'm an ex-Navy Seal. I'm too old to wage war anymore, and so now I wage it mentally. And so I find politics very stimulating; it's war without guns.
The war against terror is every bit as important as our fight against fascism in World War II. Or our struggle against the spread of Communism during the Cold War.
I have always been and will be an enemy of communism, but I love all people.
War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting.
Communists are great capitalists, so there is no threat anymore.
War is a way of shattering to pieces... materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable and... too intelligent.
