The only political question left unanswered in the history of The Decline and Fall of the First US Republic is which right was destroyed first, the First or the Second Amendments?

Responsible community leaders should presently be considering just how they are going to muster their militias.

Maybe we could claim that the internet is not the public as we choose what sites to navigate to, thus are a self-selected group.

I think you’d have to broadcast a message to reach “the public”.

I missed the justification…. was it that free speech emboldens the terrorists or was it dangerous to children? Either way, we should make more sacrifices….

Bruce, treason is treason. To the gallows!

I do find it amusing, however, that legislation like this exists. Clearly the blogosphere has some politicians shaking in their boots. They have seen a taste of the potential power we wield, and they want to do anything they can to stifle it before we start changing the outcomes of major elections (which, by the way, I think we are already doing.)

Of course, this wouldn’t affect my blog, which has about 3 readers including me and my wife….

For the first time in history, critics of Congress will need to register and report with Congress itself.

Anyone who supports such a measure needs to be exiled or hanged. Being a compassionate person, I’ll let them choose which option they’d prefer.
