1 To repeat myself, the msm = quislings + Gollum + a touch of ugly.

Totally dishonest, totally without shame and totally destructive, the msm has become a sociopath set loose upon the American public.

2 " it's only relevant to a story when the partisanship in question leans towards the right."

Everybody keeps joking about it, but it is true. They don't even realize that they are baised about it. They donate money to democrats, everybody they know donates money to democrats. The fact that McCarthy donated money to the democrats confirms that she is an ordinary, respectable, decent, middle of the road human being.

I'm not joking. They honestly cannot "frame" the situation in any other way.

3 Do you ever get the feelign that we're ringing our cowbells in a vacuum? We are. We blog about it but nothing will happen.

MSM rolls on.

4 I don't know, Pixel. Dan Rather reported on fake memos and bloggers rung their cowbell pretty loud. People got fired over that. The MSM still has a lot of power, but it's dminishing.

5 Check out today's USA Today editorial.

Summation, some leaks are good and holy. Other leaks are evil and self serving.

No need to fret though, we will tell you which ones are which.

6 Is every reporter at the Washington Post named Dana?

What a bunch of pusbags.

7 I'm wordy today, sorry.

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" is built on what I'm about to say. Just because the people who think that "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism" are stupid, doesn't invalidated what I am going to say.


First, I BELIEVE that the bill of rights is different from the first 10 ammendments. All 10 were passed during the same constitutional congress, but the first 5 ammendments, were less ammendments, and more like political disclaimers passed at the same time as the constitution. I say this because the first 5 describe the rights, the NATURAL rights, not given, but NATURAL rights of the people that are conveyed at birth, at the creation of life, and can never be denied by any government in any place in the world. The "bill of rights" (In terms of the first 5 "ammendments") isn't a guarantee, it is a supplication. While 6-10 are restrictions, not of the people but of government.

That said.

The Right to remain silent is BEST demonstrated when you are silent in the face of FORCE.

The right to property (3rd,4th and 5th) is best defended when you refuse to surrender your property. (the founders loved property and privacy apparently)

The right to excercise conscience (the first) is best practiced while being shouted down.

and FINALY, in my opinion the most important right, is the right to defend yourself in the face of tyranny. The right to bear arms, is the guarantee that while America MIGHT die, it's principles will live, because a populace that can defend itself will not fall easily to a government that wants to oppress them (the second)

That said (again)

I think that the founders overlooked the fact that they themselves were arrogant. yes, I'm judging the founders. They used inflamatory speach to provoke a revolution (the english really didn't, it was the patriots who did it) and to pat themselves on the back they wrote the first ammendment first. Unfortunately the fact that the number one is next to the rights, which I agree with, are next to the words that follow, the words that define the first ammendment are the most powerful, and they aren't. The first ammendment is the first of 5 written and defined rights that are not granted by government but by "god" or if you prefer, by the fact that we exist and can make decisions DESPITE government.

I went a long way to get to this, sorry.

Heres how it works.

I have a right a RIGHT to defend myself, I own a gun, I get threatened, I defend myself. My RIGHT, but I can be punished as long if it is reasonable that I might have violated the rights of the victim in accordance with the 9th ammendment.

and Dana has the RIGHT to speek, as long as she doesn't violate the 9th, or the body of the constitution, which she did.

8 Small quibble: I thought the 2nd Amendment was written before the 1st.

9 What I found really interesting about this story is the fact that the 2002 piece was not in the Post's on-line archives.

Exactly why was that?

Was it there and removed? Or was it never there?

If it was there and then removed, why and by whom. If it was never archived, why not?

It makes you wonder if the Post's archives, and those of other newspapers, are being manipulated. You know that omission plays a large part in framing the story. Look at the coverage from Iraq.

10 That's why you won't see any MSM journos picking up on the fascinating story about the CIA war against the President, because they know the Pulitzer committee will pass on anything that looks to be aiding Bush. Much easier to do what Priest did, report a fake story & get bouquets for making America look bad

SICK

11 Founding father Thomas Jefferson probably wouldn't appreciate his name being attached to anti-patriot Howard Zinn's quote:

"Dave Forsmark, who has been waging a one-man campaign to correct what he believes to be a blatant misattribution, "the quote is about two years old, not 200. It was made by [historian] Howard Zinn in an interview with TomPaine.com to justify his opposition to the War on Terror." Someone erroneously attributed the quote to Jefferson soon thereafter, and now seemingly everyone is doing it. - http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/146858.htm

Thomas Jefferson said (italics mine):

"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
(Jefferson to James Madison, January 30, 1787. Boyd, Julian P., ed. Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 11. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1955, p. 93.)

"Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold."
( Randall, Henry S. A Decalogue of Canons for Observation in Practical Life, The Life of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 3., New York: Derby & Jackson, 1858, p.525.)

Mischievous ''myth-makers,'' ain't they?

12 Over to you, LiveBoy!

13 I agree completely b.

Something that I believe, I doubt my originality on it is that "The reason the the US is the longest living nation in whole in the history of the world (which we are, there have been no dynasties other than those defined within the laws of our government) is that we engage in bloddless revolution at all times, we live in a world of revolution, we simply replace our usurpers with votes, instead of swords" (It's a manipulation of a lot lot lot of common opinions, I didn't say I was original, just that I believed it) The US is great, because the USA of today is not the USA of yesterday or tomorrow.

We engage in "a little revolution" every time we vote, every time we speak, every time we piss off authority, and every time we remain silent. The foundation of the US is the anarchy of the individual based on RESPECT for that individual.

The US rocks, we might weaken, but I don't think we will ever stagnate. The first threat sounds louder than the largest drum, and all hear. We react as we please, some with lies, some with speach, some with violence, some with service, some with every other spectrum of reaction. But in whole we are America, and we will know that we will do as we must based on who we are, based on how god built us, and how nature made us great, in the end, we will win, we will be judged by ourselves, we will be hated by ourselves, but in the end? we will be governed in accordance to our votes, and in accordance to our ideals, because while we may not like the outcome, we always have the chance to chose.

We might lose today, but we, as a society ALWAYS have the hope of tomorrow. That is the GENIUS of democracy, a scheduled revolution.
