HENRY ROLLINS - "Conservatives Are, At Heart, Cowards; Real Freedom And Democracy Scares Them"
February 22, 2011, 13 years ago
UK-based Kerrang! recently caught up with ROLLINS BAND frontman, actor and political commentator Henry Rollins. He voiced his opinion the political climate and change currently underway in the Middle East:
"It’s all well and good but what comes next there is key. What is interesting to me is how much some people in America were against what happened there. That says a lot. For some, democracy spreading across Muslim countries gets in the way of the Military-Industrial Complex. You can’t invade a democratic country. You will no longer be able to demonise and marginalise these people. You will lose the big jewel in the fear crown: The War On Terror. When this happens, which it will, the USA will no longer be able to justify its military budget and aggressive global posture. Conservatives are. at heart, cowards. Real freedom and democracy scares them.”
