When did the right to freedom of speech trump the crime of treason? According to Section 3 of the Constitution, treason against the United States shall consist in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

"Members of Congress can declare the punishment. What say they?"

I think we all know the answer.

Just ask these Congress critters, and add the Kerry, and Kennedy types that aren't on this list.

Let us not forget a fat scroungy looking bastid who made a movie full of lies that is being hailed by our enemies and himself praised for sedition. Michael Moore.

I've been telling everyone who would listen that the only reason we won WWII was because of censorship. If the staggering number of casualties and film of them had come back to the States, the outcry to bring our guys home would have been deafening. The primary reason we lost in Vietnam was the daily barrage of deaths and film of them.

these types of articles should be "filtered through a government agency." During war, this shouldn't be called censorship. It should be called cooperation in the war effort, as the government enjoyed in World War II.

Why not call it censorship?

That's what it was called in WWII, from December 19, 1941 until August 15, 1945.

Conducted by the Federal Office of Censorship, FYI.

These words are carefully chosen and they are true:
"a case can be made against those who work in the media and deliberately undermine the current Republican administration's war on terror while purposely pushing their own agenda."
And so are these:
"most mainstream media lean left and therefore slant their reporting to benefit liberal politicians."
The so-called "journalists" of the "mainstream newsmedia" seek to manipulate public opinion by manipulating the news--through selective reporting, emphasis, and outright distortion.

Their agenda is to remove President Bush and the Republican Party from office and replace them with Democrats. From their point of view, this is their duty. What they do not realize--or more likely refuse to see--is that it is a dangerous manifestation of dangerous hubris that dangerously misleads the public.

The source of their hubris is arrogance, intellectual and moral laziness, a disinclination to avoid consensus reality (groupthink) and an inclination to fashion, a misguided commitment to "internationalism" and "Liberalism", and a blinding hatred for President Bush.

Hubris preceeds a fall. Let's hope they don't bring us all down with themselves.

Censorship AND propaganda.

The War Power of the United States is awesome, and virtually unlimited.

We need to use it.

Now.

Thanks for posting this article. I sent an e-mail to the Washington Times thanking them for printing it, and also one to the Illinois GOP to tell Nancy Salvato what a great job she did.

Wasnt there something on the news the other night about the WH being outraged that some reporter had revealed the exact location of the Vice President's bunker?

Yes, we do. Otherwise the libs will drag us all down into a literal hell on earth, run by militan Muslims.

When the laws of our Constitution are not upheld, it's only a matter of time, before our Constitution and our Country, no longer exist.

That time is very close.

Nancy Salvato and the Washington Times have got it!

Will enough American citizens get it before the election?

We had best hope so and work our butts off to ensure that they do!
