More whistling past the graveyard by the Legacy Media.
First of all, disclosure, I am a blogger.
But, I always think it is funny that people think that John Adams so went against the prevailing opinions of the day to create the Alien and Sedition acts. Guess what guys? EVERY state in the union had the VERY same laws in their states. What Jefferson's adherents disliked was that it was to become a Federalized law.
They had NO problem with such laws in their own states at all and many of them used them often.
Anyway, the more voices we have out there the better. We all know that the Main Stream Media has failed to inform us. Its time we took things into our own hands again. Tomas Paine lives and he is ME (and every blogger)!

Months ago during Rathergate I was chided for suggesting that Freepers refer to this place by its correct term, a conservative news forum or simply "forum" because "blog" is an unflattering term that would be used by the media to portray FR in a bad light. The notion of a blog is that of an unstructured free-for-all like an electronic bathroom stall. Slashdot is another example of a themed forum. If the mainstream media are reminded of this whenever they call FR a "blog", they might get the message. Might take some time though seeing how they still refer to fanatical murdering thugs as "insurgents".
LOL, I noticed he used "clown" without the more descriptive and acurrate prefix attached!
My chief question is: does one truly need a journalism degree to ask questions and read the news on radio or tv? If that is the case, I weep for the continual reliance of the blue staters on NPR, for example, and I cheer that we are making a difference by expressing ourselves and exposing what journalists are not.

You heard it here first, I am really an 80 year triple murderer loggin on from prison.
Am I the only one who found the use of this word peculiar in this context? Is there even a definition of the word "exercised" which extends it to be used as an adjective?
Criminy. I think Jim Robinson is going to have to change the name to "FreeRepublic: not a blog". =^/
Well, I have to admit I can be that way, too, sometimes-but usually only when I first wake up.
BTW, I'm really a nine-year-old child prodigy named Olaf from Sweden.
Another left wing loon who doesn't know the meaning of fascist.
Thomas Paine lives.
One thing about this forum: If you post something, you damn well better have your facts and arguments straight.
Post something on here that isn't on the up and up and your ass will be handed to you by at least three posters who are experts in the field, regardless of which field it is. And also by at least a dozen people who can "Google" the Hell out of something and find in-depth expert analysis, discussion and books on the subject both pro and con.
An in addition, your grammar, punctuation, syntax, will be scrutinized until every dangling participle is exposed for the world to see.
Oh. And at least 10 posters will tell you that it has already been posted.....three times...and give links to the other threads.
(sigh)...Once again, Left = more government, right = less government. Fascism (derived from the latin word for 'group') is a construct of Benito Mussolini in 1919 in Italy to describe his new form of "centralized government", a LEFTIST ideal. So on the scale we see as we take more and more steps to the left we go from centrist to moderate liberal to liberal to FASCIST to socialist to Marxist to full on Commie.
Fascist = leftwinger. I really need to put this on a CD and just mail it out.
If I post on this thread, does that make me a blogger? (snicker)
Yep, that's the right word. Great post. Thanks.
I should point out, were posted on the aptly named Free Republic...
Whether or not an individual is anonymous doesn't change the content of what they say. The bottom line is that the government doesn't like the people thinking for themselves. Tears down all that publik skool, PC BS indoctrination, ya know.
