Like back when part of the colonies fought a war to preserve slavery.

They aren’t being celebrated though. We can all agree those terrorists were stomped out for the better.

Has Jimmy Dore responded to the allegations that he took money from an Assad lobbying group while he was arguing that the chemical weapons attacks came not from Assad, but was a false flag staged by an opponent.

Bellingcat appears, among other things, to be anti-Syria/anti-Russia. I don't know enough about them to judge, but that wiki article seems to indicate their journalistic research methods are rigorous.

So you're suggesting the US government was much more to the left because it was gifting land to their citizens?  That's better than being loaded up with debt from "buying" land/house today.
