For years i've said Republicans need to file lawsuits against the media on two fronts. Ideological Discrimination, requiring an Affirmative Action hiring quotas for conservatives in media, and Federal Election law Campaign contribution violations; The Value of Media contributions to liberal candidates which pretends to be news.

Ah! But therein lies the rub. You see, no true conservative could do as you suggest, because the use of Affirmative Action is morally abhorrent, the FEC is illegitimate, and the judgement of media bias requires application of social mores, which the enemy does not understand.

None would ordinarily think of it. *I* on the other hand, find the idea of making them eat their own Shat to be so irresistible, that I just don't think I could help myself. I believe in something called "enlightened hypocrisy"; The basis of which is to avoid being put at a disadvantage because of an insistence on standing on principle when the enemies will not. We are under no obligation to play fair with criminals.

Fairness is for dealing with fair people. Promises made under duress are invalid. As the French would say:" à bon chat, bon rat."

Forcing media to hire conservatives on the basis of their own "affirmative action" principles would be hoisting them by their own petard. It would be AWESOME in the degree of HORROR it would engender in people who very desperately need to be made afraid.

It’s happening here, in the U.S.A., and little is being done to stop Islamists threatening violence against our fellow citizens.

From the Atlas Shrugs blog:

“Steve Eckley, Senior Vice-President of Hutton Hotel, has caved to Islamic supremacist demands and cancelled our entire Preserving Freedom Conference scheduled for November 11th in Nashville [TN]. Eckley notified us that they will not honor our contract. Steve said that if we showed up we would not be let in. He said he has been getting threatening letters and calls. We are currently awaiting the written notification of the cancellation.”

Folks - it takes courage to stand up for what is right.

We must never tolerate an attack on our God-given rights. The First Amendment is useless, Freedom of Speech rights, if we don’t assert that right.

I think shoving some of their own medicine down their throats would be therapeutic for the nation. :)

You have no idea how much I agree with you.

The reason Rs have lost is not just because so many are rotten themselves but also because they keep dancing the minuette while the Dems are the dirtiest of street fighters.

They are ready for this gambit. Look at some of the libs they have tried to foist on the public as "conservatives". All they need to do is define the extreme left as the middle and the leftist RINOs will qualify as "uberConservative".

Everyone to the Right of Marx will be labelled an "extremist".

“” Yes, it really is amazing. This morning “Drudge” leads with a “header” declaring, Islamists win in Tunisia!!! So...now Islam and Obama’s Muslim Bortherhood, brethren control Tunisia, Libya Eygpt, Suden, Yemen, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanstan, Algeria, Somalia, Syria, and....will soon have full control in Iraq. Obama has done his knife job on both Israel and America quite well. This IMHO smacks of Obama betraying our nation, since he deftly steered most of this takeover of the Middle East by his Muslim Bortherhood brothers. And....yet neither the media or politicians take Obama to task for destroying our power in both the Middle East and around the world. Fact is: Obama and his ilk, including his wife Michelle hate these United States of America with every bone and fiber in their being. Obama IMHO, is naught but an African Muslim to his very core....and....a hateful one at that. Sad, America is in serious harms way and we coast along like all is simply OK!!! Fools!!! “”

Great minds think alike! :)

The reason Rs have lost is not just because so many are rotten themselves but also because they keep dancing the minuette while the Dems are the dirtiest of street fighters.

Back when I was campaigning, I specialized in all sorts of "dirty" tricks. Nothing illegal, but most assuredly vicious and effective. There is nothing like confronting a Democrat candidate at his campaign stops and making him look stupid and helpless. I and my group did so much damage that this one candidate filed a complaint against us with the Federal Election Commission. They sent me a letter accusing me of violating campaign finance law. I still have the letter from them in my drawer. It fills me with a sense of pride every time I think about it. :)

Conservatives need to stop trying to fight fair with these bastards. We need to HURT them politically, and we need to keep doing it. Educating the public is one of those things that ought to be an ongoing effort. I have long advocated the creation of Public Service Announcements which educate the public about the Evil things Democrats have done throughout American History, and to demonstrate that virtually every major catastrophe in American history is due to a Democrat President or Policy. (Starting with Andrew Jackson, (founder of the modern DNC) and his Indian Removal act.)

It wouldn't bother me at all to use the legal system to force Liberal media to carry these PSAs. I've seen enough of their stupid PSAs to last me a lifetime, and it would please me greatly to shove some unpalatable stuff down their throats for a change! :)

They already label us that way. I've pointed out many times how peculiar it is to claim that people who have not changed their opinions on Social Morality or Fiscal Policy for the last 50 years, are extremists? It is the nation which has moved to the left, while the normal people haven't moved at all.

In any case, I think we could win that fight if we had the proper attitude; One of attacking faux conservatives as a central component of every interview or opinion circle. If every time a conservative went on the air they made a remark about fake conservatives such as "Kathleen Parker" or "David Frum" it would eventually have the effect of calling the question in the public mind. Once they are outed as imposters, their effectiveness is nill.

More worrisome is the tendency of conservatives to go squishy when put under social pressure by liberals. Nowadays it has become gauche to say anything derogatory about queers. Ann Coulter is even losing her way.

The abandonment of Moral Absolutes by the Left is what has made the whole confusion: what is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, period. There are definite and enduring standards out there, and have been for well over 2000 years. The abandonment of those cultural and religious standards for 'if it feels good do it' and 's ituation ethics' has led to the corruption of generations who base morality on convenience, profit, and personal sensation more than a distinct standard. (Yes, there are greedy Leftists, too!--probably more of them.)

That corruption makes possible the sort of leftward movement which places the likes of John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey to the right of many Republicans today.

I agree that faux conservatives need to be exposed for what they are, and I fully expect to see more of them on TV and in print as the election cycle grinds on. The normal Ministry of Propaganda types are losing effect across the viewable spectrum (what does get exposure, generally from the interplanetary Left to the RINO herd) in the Mass Media.

As for what Liberals and Leftists think, for that matter, totalitarians of any stripe, It only matters to me in that it gives me insight as to how to defeat their nonsense.

Having seen what passes for right and wrong with that crowd, I am only concerned if they are in agreement with me.

Two premises ...

1. Many Christians take the point of view, of accepting others as they are ... hate the sin but love the sinner, and in our politically society it means do not judge, IT INDICATES TO MANY THEY ARE SIMPLY BEING CHRISTIAN TO NOT CRITICIZE, etc.

Of course we know they love the good life, living like Kings, (at expense of the people) and being honored, and esteemed. The result being they do not call others out because they all have a skeleton or two in their closet, too. It is a matter of degree. To lose face or even position is in NO WAY AS SERIOUS AS LOSING FREEDOM, LIBERTY, THE U.S.CONSTITUTION, our way of life, our laws, and allows the take over of Communism,or a Marxist form of operating, no matter what it is called.

2. Republicans have decided they do not like being in control. Too much heat. Too much trouble. They do not want the focus to be mainly on them. They like being in second place. MO
