I give up. I’ve been around FR far longer than people imagine. I attended the first rallies for Clinton’s impeachment in 97-98, when FR looked to have a great future spearheading the fight for freedom and a conservative, constitutional republic.

Now look at it. A bunch of crusty 80 year olds who do nothing but gripe online and grasp at the lamest shreds of evidence to bolster their fossilized views as they cluelessly throw their support behind authoritarians and leftists.

Yes, you’re right about the drugs and sex trafficking. I am ops manager for an NGO that supports around a dozen children’s homes in/around Burma as well as safe houses from trafficking in the region, so I could tell you a thing or two. I had thought there might be some feeling of support to do something to help among the audience at FR. But I can see FR is for griping and grasping at straws, not lifting a finger to do anything helpful. :-(

Sorry, bud, but after the last four years (and probably 12 years), Freepers have a right to be skeptical about the news being fed to them about a place that is most likely a backwards, political mess. Sadly, some of Burma's messes sound strangely familiar.

Yep, too many here think we need more Bush republicans despite the fact they are corrupt too.

We know what side the US government is on, when we know what side the CIA is on, we can tell you who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.
