Why do we need a strong socialist counter-point party in America? Real Americans hate socialists. We wouldn't be in anywhere near the ugly mess we're in if the Soviets hadn't funded the attempted (nearly successful) destruction of our culture in the '60's.

I don't feel the need for one, but in principle we don't want a one-party system either.

The real problem is that we have an "Objective Journalism" party and a Republican Party.

To claim to be virtuous is to commit the sin of pride - and objectivity is a virtue. Thus, "Objective Journalism" is arrogant. It is also superficial because of its deadlines, and is negative for the same reason that the boy cried, "Wolf!"

"Objective Journalism" is also cowardly. Wach member of journalism is afraid of the ostrcization of the group. That is why each of them conforms to a pseudo-courageous concensus in which all loudly proclaim that they are are for the little guy, and unafraid of "big business and the government." By which they actually mean that they pick on the party of Middle America, unafraid of people who actually uphold the Constitution and its First Amendment. But in mortal fear of being called "not objective, not a journalist" by The New York Times.
