I think that one could and should add that McCain Feingold was passed by a Republican Congress, signed into law by a Republican president, and upheld by several Supreme Court "justices", some of whom were appointed by Republicans.

There is only one party in this country. We have a permanent government that just took another step toward formalizing their semi-heriditary rule. Let's talk about that, shall we?

All here who strove with might and main to elect Republicans are directly to blame for this outrage on the Constitution. You can't, my friends, vote for a party that routinely stabs you, their base supporters, in the back time after time after time and then profess surprise at the outcome.

A bedrock principle of our Common Law is that a man is presumed to intend the foreseeable consequences of his actions. You who gave money to the Republicans and voted for the Republicans and encouraged others to do the same in justice and in law intended exactly this murder of the First Amendment.

Admit it. You want Big Brother. Quit lying to yourselves, folks. You want the tyranny that is coming, because you fear the freedom and responsibilities of the American Revolution. If that weren't so, then why did your party just saddle future generations with the biggest socialist welfare-state program since LBJ?

Your words are one thing, but your actions are quite the opposite thing. Your actions betray your true motives of fear of having to deal with the freedom the Constitution exacts from us.

By their fruits you shall know them. And you who supported the GOP certainly knew how rotten the tree is. You can't no claim that you didn't know.

Nobody can accept the leadership of a Party that gave us the egregiously mis-named "Patriot Act" or that of self-admitted traitors and Trotskyites like David Horowitz and the rest of the neo-con infestation and then claim ownership of the American Tradition as laid down by the Founders.

You Republicans want what's coming, but you lack the moral fibre to admit it.

You want to be lead, and cared for, and loved by the dark face behind the mustache on the propaganda posters that will line the streets of our children's America.

Just admit it to yourselves and to others. You're statists and socialists in league with the New Deal. Get honest about it.

At least we'll be clear about who the enemy is. It's the lying, cryptic nature of Republican socialism and socialist Republicans that I can't stand.

"The First Amendment died earlier this month.

And if the First Amendment is dead, can we honestly claim to be a democratic republic any more?"

Borders? We ain't got no STEENKING BORDERS!

Democracy? We ain't got no STEENKING DEMOCRACY!

(Democracy has been replaced with "another" option.)

"The question is or at least ought to be, how can such a small, godless, minority have such influence over our courts and legislative processes?"
