This action by the DNC gives us some insight as to how life would be under a Democratic controlled administration. It wouldn't be a repeat of 1992-it would look more like 1984.

The left will have their silence, as one after another of their media organs die off or are relegated to irrelevancy.
Meanwhile the web and the talkies and the satellite networks flourish and expand at a near terrifying rate.

The Rats philosophy of entering an arguement with a lawyer in tow hasn't reaped many benefits for them. It has given us good laughs.

This doesn't really matter. The DNC kept "Stolen Honor" from being show before the election. Their threats got Sinclair to run a gutted version of the program.

California or Massachusetts are in microcosm what we should expect to see from the Democrats.
Has there ever been an estaqblsihed socialist government that was not removed by external force or pressure?
A Socialist USA is nightmarish for just this reason: No one will be there to free us.

Kerry has also filed suit against the film's producer. The plaintiff is a guy seen on the film apparently coaching a Vietnam vet faker to "remember a massacre" that did not occur.

By attempting to silence the opposition, they are only making their message even more visible than before.

While the FEC didn't rule in the Democrats' favor, the Democrats didn't exactly fail, they had successfully intimidated Sinclair Broadcasting, and advertisers, so that the broadcast was so watered down that I couldn't even watch the whole thing. The same stations broadcast network news pro-Democrat propaganda for months, and the networks and affiliated stations felt free to ignore any complaints. The left is much better at organized activism (and bulling) than we are.

Thats why we have the 2nd amendment to protect us, not against criminals (like those in academia and the MSM would like you to believe), rather, against an oppressive government.

This was the issue that got George W. Bush my vote. More to the point, it was the issue that got me to vote against John Kerry.
I was thinking about voting Libertarian, but shortly before the election when Kerry goon Chad Clanton said of Sinclair Broadcasting that "they would regret" showing an anti-Kerry documentary and that "they better hope we don't win the election" I knew I could not take a chance on Kerry winning, and voted for Bush.

The market economy is "pressure", but Yes. Socialism and communism simply collapse of their own inertia, as those who they live off of flee their control before they react. The leftists who would rule are innately lazy and corrupt, those they seek to rule are innately clever and fast movers.
In America we have 50 states and mobility. As is happening here (massachusets) the productive eventually flee. Soon all that will be left here are government workers, university employees, lawyers and illegal immigrants.
There is a house for sale on every street here, soon this one too.

When did it happen that Socialism fell from internal pressures? It was the Cold War that brought the USSR to an end.

And so it goes. JFnK will still think he is a viable 2008 candidate! LOL
