Are We Americans Capable of Entering Into Rational, Honest, and Productive Discusion Over Sensitive Matters?...

  Rape -  The crime of rape generally refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse that is committed by physical force , threat of injury, or other duress.

Michael Moore... A Despicable Excuse Of A Man

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA I have chosen, up until now, not to waste my time on that piece of d*g cr*p that is Micheal Moore. To say the man is unworthy of being given even a grain of respect is a huge understatement. This overstuffed butterball of American hating bile would do us all a favor if he found somewhere else to spew his useless yet dangerous  garbage. So much for the rant, no on to the point.

Bradley Manning, suspected in the leak of tens of thousand
