I wholeheartedly agree we need to be in attack mode - always. The attacker sets the terms of the conflict.

I’m not so sure we can be marginalized if we adopt a civil disobedience theme. They do not control the information distribution system any more. Notice how the recent stock market swoon since election day was able to be blamed on Hussein’s election. Our side was proactive and effective in blaming it on him. We just have to have the stones to do it.

One of the first things that needs doing is ALL beltway “conservative” pundits need to be publicly executed, metaphorically speaking. They do nor nor have they ever represented conservatives. What they say or think is of no moment. I am convinced Rush Limbaugh moved to Florida to prevent the New York media culture from neutering him.

While I have reservation for the “law” and “courts,” a proactive move would at least be a form of attack.

And we need to attack every day all day.

The courts are the only place where facts and logic are supposed to prevail. Everyone else is openly political; at least the courts are embarrassed by facts and logic when they ignore them.

I am not urging a remedy nearly as radical as the ill which I propose that the court address. You and I know how destructive Homogenous Journalism is. And I think that a lawyer could point to a Supreme Court case in which the linchpin of Homogeneous Journalism - the AP - has been found to be in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. But I propose no more of a remedy than that the Court state that the government has no authority to treat Punch Sulzberger as the establishment, but must respect the First Amendment rights of Jim Robinson and Rush Limbaugh on exactly the same basis that it respects the First Amendment rights of Punch Sulzberger.

That remedy would entirely delegitimate McCain-Feingold because that "law" would deprive you and me of rights which it would respect in the case of Homogeneous Journalism. It codifies the imposture of Homogenous Journalism that only it is "the press." "Freedom of the press" is a right of the people, not of the unborn (as of the writing of the First Amendment) Associated Press and Punch Sulzberger.
