You Kucinich accusers were spot on!

U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich said he would push for media reform as chairman of a new House subcommittee focusing on Federal Communications Commission issues.

Kucinich, D-Ohio, and a presidential candidate, said the new Domestic Policy Subcommittee of the House Government Reform Committee would focus on issues such as net neutrality and major telecommunications mergers, Radio Industry News said. Kucinich outlined the subcommittee and its responsibilities during a recent media reform conference in Memphis.

The panel also would consider Fairness Doctrine, eliminated in 1987, which had required broadcasters to present controversial topics in a fair and honest manner.

"We know the media has become the servant of a very narrow corporate agenda" Kucinich said during the Tennessee conference. "We are now in a position to move a progressive agenda to where it is visible."

Kucinich? That clown? The Fireman of the Cuyahoga? Oh, puh-lease!

The moment, the very moment, that this SOB's agenda gets into law somehow -- note that it cannot do so honestly or Constitutionally -- we all become slaves.

Please note that nothing -- insofar as I can tell -- in the Constitution prevents or prohibits citizens from picking up pitchforks or other convenient devices, and lifting and dumping would-be tyrants into the nearest convenient dumpster, or performing other similar actions.

Naturally, if one or another of our colleagues here can find the appropriate emantion or penumbra, of which I'm unaware, in the Constitution, that argues against the graf above, I should count it a privilege and a favour if said colleague would point said penumbra or emantion right out to my attention, and to my (evidently) unskillful and ignorant comment.

"Progressive" being the euphemism for "Socialist" which more often than not is a euphemism for "Communist".
