The following was e mailed to most of the writers at the Kingsport Times News on 06/18/04
The Kingsport Times news is complicit in the traitorous actions of the Associated Press to force the antiwar bias and propaganda into the homes of America to gain a political advantage.
The leftwing Associated Press daily provides aid and comfort to America’s enemies in the war by focusing only on news considered harmful to the war effort and by carefully hiding news of any events in Iraq it finds harmful to the doom and gloom antiwar agenda. The AP is the enemy of the American cause of peace and freedom. Providing aid and comfort to the enemy is no different from providing guns and bullets. An AP article kills just like an RPG.
By publishing the unedited AP propaganda and by refusing to find and publish accounts by sources devoid of antiwar sentiments, the Kingsport Times News has degenerated into a propaganda tool of those who oppose the war against terrorism.
Employees of the Times News should be ashamed for their part in killing American Soldiers in Iraq. As purveyors of antiwar propaganda and by encouraging America’s enemies to kill Americans, the Times News and those associated with it have blood of brave American troops on their hands.
AP Bad news sells papers while selling America out.

Excellent, and for me, a real eye-opener.
The problem with censorship here, however, is that this "war" has no defined exit point. Unlike fighting Japan, or Germany, when we knew that when they surrendered the war was over -- when do we finish this one? Will it be 10 years? 20 years? 50 years? Now imagine the DemonRats in office (it is inevitable) with the full legal power of censorship. And don't think censorship won't mean shutting down websites -- LIKE THIS ONE!!!
I call it treason!
