IN A 'PINCH': RETHINKING THE FIRST AMENDMENT
James Madison
This was bound to happen.
The premise behind the First Amendment as it applies to the press--that a vigilant watchdog is necessary, sufficient--indeed, possible--to protect against man's basest instincts--is tautologically flawed: The fox guarding the White House, if you will.
Walter Lippmann, the 20th-century American columnist, wrote, "A free press is not a privilege, but an organic necessity in a great society." True in theory. True even in Lippmann's quaint mid-20th-century America, perhaps. But patently false in this postmodern era of the bubbas and the Pinches.
When a free and great society is hijacked by a seditious bunch of dysfunctional, power-hungry malcontents and elitists, it will remain neither free nor great for long. When hijacked by them in the midst of asymmetric warfare, it will soon not remain at all.
If President George W. Bush is serious about winning the War on Terror, he will aggressively pursue the enemy in our midst.
Targeting and defeating the enemy in our midst is, by far, the more difficult task and will measure Bush's resolve and courage (and his independence from the MPRDC (mutual protection racket in DC)) more than any pretty speech, more even than 'staying the course.'

hen the founders granted 'The Press' special dispensation, they never considered the possibility that traitors in our midst would game the system. But that is precisely what is happening today. (Hate America? Support jihad? Become a 'journalist!')

Oh Mia, if wasn't so darn true it would be funny.
Your " Why Bin Laden wants home delivery of the New York Times" is a classic.
heheh...that's really good. shorten it up a bit and stick it in you-tube/google video etc...I have friends who read the NYT and they need an ironic whack to the brain to get the point....
It's tragic. :(
yes it truly is :-(
bttt

thanx :)
Welcome, as always. I LOVE your stuff! :-)
Thanks for the ping, MiaT.
thanx, Cindy. :)
* a terrorist war requires only one consenting player
Something you wrote earlier( and is in your links) that bears repeating.
When our enemies call it a Jihad. It is a Jihad.
When our enemies say we are at war. We are at war.
War and Jihad only require one side to prosecute it. It is up to the other side whether they want to defend themselves. The liberals dont seem to understand this and the NYTimes is traitorous paper that seeks for our side not to defend ourselves.
Clearly, the impeached ex-president treated terrorism not as war but as a law enforcement problem, which, by definition is defensive, after-the-fact and fatally-too-late. He appears not to understand that when terrorists declare war on you
and then proceed to kill you
you are, perforce, at war. At that point, you really have only one decision to make: Do you fight the terrorists
or do you surrender? Critical to the understanding of the clintons' (and the left's) inability to protect America from terrorism is the analysis of clinton's final phrase, "though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America." "I did not bring him [Osama bin Laden] here... though we knew he wanted to commit crimes against America." This phrase is clinton's explicit rejection of both bin Laden's repeated declarations/acts of war and the (Bush) doctrine of preemption to fight terror. This phrase underscores clinton's failure to understand that: also see:

(Why America Must NEVER AGAIN Elect a Democrat President)

.
In the caldron of conflict and resolution that is government, it matters not much from which little parochial corner we pluck our leaders. What matters--what matters most--perhaps in the end what matters only--is character. According to the author, "Do I desire security or glory?" is one of the "complicated" questions a president must ask. The author fails to understand that a president who needs to ask himself that question is in the wrong job.--Mia T] by Mia T, 7.07.06 |
