Henry Rollins says…
… most of you who know me know that as a general rule, I couldn’t give a flying piss in the wind what actors/musicians/etc think and have to say, but I figure this one is worth posting up … since I pretty much completely agree with it 100%.
This video rated: M for Mature due to foul language and political shit you might not agree with.
Here’s the transcript for those who aren’t video buffs, I think it’s worth reading.
“Freedom is under attack, under attack by hysterical and well funded Christian psychotics, intellectually undernourished leaders who lie and manipulate information, overfed baby huey coward bitch motherfuckers like Carl Rove and their suck up weakling apologists like Sean Hannity, to question their authority is to be somehow unpatriotic, unamerican, and in league with terrorists worldwide… FUCK YOU. With even elections results becoming more and more questionable, the constitution a thing to be manipulated, ignored, and frivolously amended even democracy itself seems to be on the run, so where is the one place you can go and tell your version of the truth, rail against liars, fakes, and propagandists with your own unique propaganda, sign your name to it and let the whole world know how you feel? That’s right, the internet. Perhaps responsible for the most substantial shifts in culture in the last several decades there is so much freedom and potential on the world wide web that one is barely able to get ones head around it. Who in their right mind would dare to regulate or charge websites to be on the internet, who would dare to rain on a parade so fantastic that many of us would not know what to do without our high speed connection and our lives on the internet. Actually, some very powerful forces… telco companies want to make you pay for your site to be carried on the internet, if you cant afford to pay, guess what, thats right you’re cyber history pal. The bush administration wants major internet and phone companies to keep track of where their customers surf all in the name of “the war on terror” don’t you know, how much do you want to bet they want the internet regulated, contained, and thrown into a cell at Guantanamo bay. For a country that talks so much about freedom being on the march, seems to me that some people want anything but, if they come for your freedom you must not only resist you must strike back with a vengeance that will stun them, on this front if your anger and outrage are not at the forefront then you’re already dead, dead to me anyway, fuck these cowards, these traitors, these enemies of democracy, thanks for watching the show this season, never relent.” – Henry Rollins
