CS>outside political echos.

What "political echos" might those be?

Is the CHAT echo a "political echo"?

Is the COFFEE KLATSCH echo a "political echo"?

Is the COOKING echo a "political echo"?

Is the FUNNY echo a "political echo"?

Is the MEMORIES echo a "political echo"?

What about the CHESS echo?
What about the BRIDGE echo?
What about the GAMES echo?
What about the ART echo?
What about the MUSIC echo?
What about the SCIENCE echo?
What about the ASTRONOMY echo?

The fact of the matter is that I participate in NO "political
echos".  In fact, I have not participated in any "political echos"
in the past six months.

Which goes to show that Hillary Clinton was right - there is in
existence a vast rightwing conspiracy to smear advocates of freedom
and democracy.

Are you a member of that vast rightwing conspiracy?  Or do you hold
dear the principles as set forth by the U.S. Constitution?

As a member of our armed forces, you took an oath.  Perhaps you
would like to share with the rest of us just what that oath says.
Better yet, I'll do it for you -

"I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and
defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance
to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of
the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me,
according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
So help me God."

Is that oath important to you?  Or is the oath you took to the vast
rightwing conspiracy more important?  Naturally, I can understand
your want in keeping that particular oath secret.  After all, if it
weren't secret, then it wouldn't be a conspiracy.

If you believe in freedom and democracy, you will be true to the
oath you took when you enlisted in the United States Navy.  You will
defend this country from harm, as it is your duty and obligation to do
so.  You will condemn the actions of the anti-democratic right. You will
condemn the actions of the anti-democratic left.  You will condemn the
actions of ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic.

But you won't do it.  Far more important to you to support the actions
of the anti-democratic right.  There is no doubt that Benito Mussolini
would have made you one of his ministers (perhaps his maid since he
already had a mistress), had you been been around during his time.

My great grandparents fled Italy and came to America because Italy was
run by a dictator.  The dictator before Mussolini.  Not sure which one
was worse.  Both were pretty bad.  In any event, I do not want this
country to go through the same thing that my great grandparents had to
endure.  Besides, there is no country for Americans to run to in times
of such trouble.

But thank you for the compliment about me being "harmless...outside
political echos".  It tells me I had been doing something right to upset
rightwing whackos.  Imagine that.  Achieving the same status as Noam
Chomsky.  :)

My opinions, stated long ago in "political echos", being remembered
by the anti-democratic right, remaining very "upsetting" to their
anti-democratic world.  And for such admission to come from a member
of our armed forces.  My, my.  I am so GOOD!  :)
