Fight For Your Country, And What You See And Hear Will Be Censored.

I find this beyond revolting.

The all wonderful minds in control of the armed-forces are allowing conservative and fundie websites through while blocking liberal and Democratic sites and blogs.

Unfortunately anonomizers don't work out here (never have). Anyway, I had a few minutes today and thought I'd look and see what else was banned on the Marine web here.

I think the results speak for themselves:

To say this story got me a bit stoked would be a understatement.

What happened to letting people thing for themselves? The soldiers on the ground know that Iraq is turning into a civil war. You're not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes.

The blacklisting of sites/forums that don't have a 100% pro-Bush slant is a disgrace to freedom. It's a disgrace to those figting in harm's way. I thought for a minute that only repressive communists leaders pull these stunts. Guys like Castro and Putin...and then it hit me.

We have a guy in the White House right now that makes Castro look like an amateur on his best day. Freedom is flatlining, America.
