40. But you trust a government that has lied to you

Sat Mar 8, 2014, 02:57 PM

Mar 2014

stolen from you, cheated you and killed innocents in your name.

You trust a government that lied about Vietnam, Grenada, Iran/Contra and Iraq. You trust a government that sold weapons to a supposed enemy so they could use the money to finance "rebels" in yet another country.
You trust a country that does secret trade deals behind closed doors. You trust a government that signed The Patriot Act before they even read it.

You trust a government that collects your "meta data" just in case you decide to become a terrorist or a criminal.

But Snowden? That fucker donated to Ron Paul!!!!
