They no longer need Gulags or firing squads since they can do it virtually with the TV. They simply destroy lives on the TV with their talk shows and keep everyone in line or discredited like they have done to Palin, Clarence Thomas or any Conservative.

Also, we have already seen them lay the groundwork for new ways of informing on fellow citizens, one White House web site devoted to it but more dangerously the propagation of formal listings of Christianity or tea party activism or gun ownership as bases of “terrorists” and such. This is today’s variation on the cult of paranoia that Stalin and Mao operated so well even against Solzenhitzyn or Lech Walesa, great men of a like we don’t have yet.
And so it goes. Leftist elites are devoted to Power and Privilege and will invoke all manner of deviousness, deceit, double-talk etc. to increase their hold on both.
