2 Fox Hosts Argue For Government Censorship
Conservatives, following a string of front-page news articles in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and elsewhere, are barking loudly that censorship is what the country needs -- at least while we're fighting the "war on terror," for however long that lasts.

<snip>

Strange, but true.

1. How much you want to bet Faux declares the "War on Terror"
officially ended the day after a Democrat is elected President.

10. With the sub-heading
"America lost, al Qaeda won" . . . oh, wait, that was Cheney's VP re-election strategy . . .

Hopefully, after the next election...
They'll get their wish.

But, their silencing will be done by a simultaneous act of "tuning-them-out"
by the viewing public.

2. Why do these people hate our country, our Constitution and our freedoms
So much? Osama must be laughing his ass off, for under Bush America is quickly devolving into the tyranical, fascist, theocratic state that he always wanted us to be.

Face it, the terrorists won. Can we bring the troops home now and start restoring our country to what it once was?

5. This is what the Rulers always wanted the Government
to be and have fought for since 1776 to implement. There have been some years where the Ruling Elite have made spectacular gains: Alien & Sedition Acts 1798, Suspension of Habeas Corpus 1861, Federal Income Tax 1913, Espionage Act 1917, but 9/11 provided the Coup d' Grace for the Dream which was America...

C'est La Guerre...

3. That Wall Street Journal editor on Washington Journal
said something along the same lines this morning. Must be a new talking point.

7. The Wall Street Journal certainly...

12. It makes sense.
If the terrorists "hate us for out freedom", then the quickest and easiest way to get them to stop hating and wanting to kill us is to simply end our freedom.
