[Arthur Wildfire! March]

I respect your opinion. Sounds a lot like most of my elders. So I had plenty of time to think over their belief. My first dissent is that I am not a "Starr-Gazer" who is trying to pressure one individual and hitch all my hopes in one "Starr". People keep morphing political opinion into a court room. Justice would be sweet, but not necessary to save our country. What I am looking for is to bring discomfort to those who destroyed the whistle blowers' careers. Those who destroyed those careers, whether directly or indirectly, are doing this nation tremendous harm. The more that people learn about this, the more uncomfortable they will feel. It will let people know that this is unacceptable.

On the other hand, if this winds down to nothing, no objections, no rise in the outrage level, then the the course is set toward dictatorship.

Now for my second dissent. I don't think you fully understand what is going on in their heads. Machievelli helps explain some of the thought processes. According to Machievelli, severe punishments of former leaders will, in time, trigger desperation in failing leaders. That would ultimately destroy a republic. The leaders of this nation are applying that philosophy in a very extreme way, probably because of the FBI files.

Once public pressure builds, something will give. I don't know how for certain. It might be Bush or Ashcroft, who would be pressured into recalculating their plans. Or it might be a new history book that starts a chain reaction. Who knows? It could be some third party candidate who says it like it is, gets assassinated or illegally has his FBI file exposed, and gets massive public sympathy. It might be a new impeachment vote in the House, shot down in Senate, and then massive protests against Daschle. Or, perhaps this results in more history books that shift public opinion .2 percent and add to the credibility of the other history books that expose Clinton. Or perhaps BET is pressured into interviewing Chris Ruddy and Alan Keyes and this starts up all over again. Or some new, intrepid internet TV station becomes popular and runs it. Who knows what the future in media is? No one knows for certain. Free Republic TV could one day be a highly influential program.

Thus some of us need to keep this torch burning. Others need to keep other torches burning. So, please bear in mind that when you seek to advise someone that there's no point in fighting for Truth, you become part of the problem. Freegards....

when you seek to advise someone that there's no point in fighting for Truth, you become part of the problem.

I wasn't advising someone not to seek the truth. I spent the last eight years trying to get the word out about the crimes of the Clintons and their gang. And all it got me was ostracism from my large liberal family. By all means keep up the fight. All I was saying is that you shouldn't expect any help from Bush or Ashcroft, and certainly not from the Republican stiffs in the Senate. What I said, if you will reread my post, is that spreading the truth in geometric progression holds a lot more promise than depending on the Justice Dept. or the criminal media.

Want proof? Just notice which book is ranked #1 bestseller at Amazon.com:

Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News by Bernard Goldberg.

This, IMO, says that there is a huge number of people out there who think that the media are a bunch of lying, narcissistic creeps. There is hope.
