Thanks for your reply. It appears as though the others left you to carry the water. Fair weather friends?

IMO, Condi Rice said more than you admit, in that she asserted that she was satisfied with the outcome. Since the outcome was that Imus was silenced from the media, I assume that Rice (and your) were satisfied with this. As a high federal official, I am offended that she said this and I am concerned with the mindset behind this opinion.

I have no “personal” grudge with Condi Rice, as you suggest. I am against federal totalitarianism, in any form or gradient.

It is within your right to call my opinion ludicrous. I don’t think that Gramsci would agree with you.

As I said, this comment of Condi's from which you have drawn negative conclusions has nothing to do with a totalitarian government.

And there are enough REAL problems with government overreach to deal with. Making them up as you have done here n diminishes the real battle of a conservative to get overgrown government under control.

That should be our shared goal, should it not?
