A SURPRISING CASE FOR HIGHER TAXES

  NEVER MIND THE WAR, THERE'S A GAME ON....

I lashed out at "Paths to 9/11" because a mob of us watched it at my house on TV, and the viewing conditions probably weakened its impact upon us. However, it did cause reflection among many of us and as proof I offer this part of a conversation I had with three of the guys who saw the show at my house. We agreed that the country doesn't believe that Terrorism and the War on Terror actually exists. The reasons given were many, but most feel that Bush has done a miserable job of communicating the danger. Roosevelt's reaction to Pearl Harbor was mentioned as how to rally the electorate. A draft, rationing of gasoline, and higher taxes to pay for the war gets everyone's attention. We cannot have a war AND all the creature comforts, including lower taxes, and be impacted. During the WWII the government ran some awful pictures of dead GIs on the beaches of Tarawa (above) in order to "wake people up that there really was a war on." This is a private war and we are not involved. I'm afraid we will only know about the "War on Terror" after an A-Bomb goes off in the middle of the Super Bowl.

Whoops, I gotta get back to the game, can't miss that.

PATH TO 9/11 IS PATH TO FASCISM

ZEIG HEIL, THE PATH TO FASCISM


Our Freedom of Speech is dead, killed by the Democrats while the Republicans stood around and did nothing, and in fact joined the mob. Path to 9/11 has become the Path to Fascism. We are there, boys and girls, we have allowed it to happen. From now on, only government approved speech will be tolerated. There will be no grand funeral procession like the one for Lincoln (above) everyone will try to forget that the death of the Bill of Rights didn't happen at all.

It is the American putsch, the Democratic party has become the instrument of the destruction of our most important Right in the Original Bill of Rights, and like the Senators in Rome who allowed the Republic to be taken over, the Republicans stood by and have allowed it to happen, and actually participated in the censorship. Make no mistake, this is the worst thing our government has done since Roosevelt tried to "pack" the Supreme Court with his party hacks because he didn't like some decisions the court had made, but then his own party rose up and stopped him. This time nobody has risen up. The Republicans just kept riding their decaying raft down the River Styx singing country songs as they blindly drifted to the abyss.

So because powerful government figures who are only theoretically out of power did not like the content of a movie, they made it clear that they would put Disney/ABC out of business. And because plenty of Republicans looked bad and the 9/11 commission looked bad our people "in power" castrated the Republic. Never did any of us think we'd see the day this could happen, but the fact is now clear that the minority party is so powerful they can cause license revocation if anyone dares to present something they don't like. Never in the history of the Republic have we seen the government take over a media company til now. The Democrats, the minority party, have informed Disney and ABC that they will put them out of business if Paths to 9/11 is shown unless it is sanitized to their satisfaction. The same people who railed at the old Hayes Code, the Legion of Decency, and all attempts to set up a government media company, those wonderful patriots have taken over ALL MEDIA while we slept.

From now on every book publisher is on notice that they can be put out of business by powerful people in government. Everything we see and hear from now on must be approved by the government, or else.

Meanwhile back in the culture desert, not so much as a twitch of protest from FOX, CNN (but they are part of the problem), or MSNBC. Fellow travelers, Useful Idiots, Friends of Bill, or just plain fearful money grubbing cowards? Whatever, we all know now that they are the ones running the country and they will always act to protect themselves. They will even destroy our Bill of Rights, this time to the standing ovation from the Left.
They will even send a "designated mourner" to feign grief so maybe the rest of us won't know what they have really wrought. It's OK, we dopes will watch the football games and lay around while we are told that our freedoms are safe.
