  In the U.S. before 1993, a man could rape his wife and it would be totally legal, even if they were already legally separated.


is that first part really true???!?!?! wtf?

 

 

No, I'm sure that is just another one of his half truth distortions.He likes to do it for the *shock* value.

Protection from abuse orders go way back before 1993, and of course it was illegal to assault your spouse way before then also.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
