NO Cheers, unfortunately. The best that the pen, and the internet can do, is to sound a clarion call against evil. From that point, it is necessary that good men do...not just something, but the *right* thing.

“after me, the germans”?

I don’t get the french part of the title.

No? Watch Obamaramadingdong ascending to King-Dictator-Messiah throne!
Just makes you wonder who is behind so well orchestrated media - RAT party - schooling - brainwashing?? It is just not happening by accident just as Soviet revolution wasn't by accident - by working class - but by red agitators using sheeple, promising them change, land, power, equality and taking everything from the evil capitalistic pigs.
Could it be Sorosians?

RE: the Internet may have been able to stop the National Socialists

Are we going to have to form a Joe the Plumber Brigade; i.e., drop our screen names and be who we are? Take the consequences.

What if the Obama Administration turns out to be (as I suspect) a government run by 1960s street rabble and their ideological issue. Throw in a MSM dominated by same.

Both trying to "Bring it all down, man" and replace it with "social justice," a potent central total authority that brooks no opposition.

Will anonymous opposition suffice? Or better to suffer the consequences.

What say you, Mr. Hancock.

In his Nobel lecture, the Frenchman, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio, was quoted as saying the following: "Who knows, if the Internet had existed at the time, perhaps Hitler's criminal plot would not have succeeded - ridicule might have prevented it from ever seeing the light of day" In the light of remarks like this, I am suddenly reminded that the tendency towards wishful thinking is not confined to acolytes of "The Obamessiah" in the United States... Look at the genocide in Darfur. There has been extensive press about this, and coverage on the internet. How much good has the Internet done to stop this killing? And this is with a fifth-rate military, not a modern industrial power like Germany. Speaking of industrial power, how is the whole "the Internet, by speaking truth to power, will hold all governments accountable" working out with respect to Communist China? The last I heard, the internet providers, from Cisco to Yahoo to Microsoft, were actively co-operating with the Communist regime to help censor and filter information in both directions, in and out of the country. Not only that, but the Chinese are quite good at using the Internet to squelch dissent. Consider the rumors that keep popping up, of atrocities against Falun Gong -- not just torture and execution, which are old hat, but vivisection and harvesting organs from living (but not for long!) victims... So non, Monsieur LeClezio, I do not believe you that "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword." Unless, of course, you are speaking solely of French military might.

The left made more effective use of the internet than we did. That is a fact, we have faltered and fallen. Every major search engine and major news site is owned by the left. All we have is FOX and Free Republic. We haven't invested in the infrastructure of propaganda, they have. Goebbels would have loved the Net.

Ideas are more powerful than guns. If we don't let our people have guns, why should we let them have ideas?
