Oh, the US did far worst than that in quite a couple of occasions, but they did not have the monopoly on it. Everyone did it and it was normal in those times to do things like that.
Yes I am talking about Chile, Honduras, Grenada and a couple others. You didnt do that kind of stuff against your own people though.
oh coarse the US didnt want communism to spread. because it would give more power to the USSR. our arch enemy. but i meant our own people. we never shot at communists, hippies when they protested like the chinese. america didnt want communist to spread, just as the USSR stoped democracy or liberalism in states such as czechoslovakia.

K, this is what gets people in the forum upset not disputing what you are saying, becuase it is mostly true, but I'm not going to give you the answers ...need to give factual examples of what, how and when in American history with the above or it looses the context of when these events happened and your argument.
The U.S. often went to war to stop the spread of Communism, but as far as I know we never violently silenced protesters here, and for that matter we never went to war to remove Communism from some place where it was already the government. We never really "spread" democracy before, atleast not to any significant degree, rather we protected it where it was already used. Communism was the aggressor during the cold war, and capitalism was on the defense. Says a lot about the two policies.
Edit: I don't mean to say that the U.S. was never aggressive, or never did anything wrong. I'm just saying that in the general overview of the Cold War the USSR and here allies were the real aggressors.

Yep I was talking about the cold war and I stated specifically that about every countries were doing it and I just took the US as an example. BS happened everywhere during the Cold War.

Fuck, a second Look at that!. God, Satan, Buddha, Brahman, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan help us.
How exactly am I brainwashed? I want you to tell me specifically, don't use some half assed excuse like "Be simply denying the fact you are brainwashed makes you brainwashed," that shit just makes you look stupid. I invite you to tell me why and how I am brainwahed, and I'll shoot your shitty claim down from the Red Sky choked with lies faster than you can say "Brainwashed!"
