folks,
I wouldn’t worry so much about the tea party,
I’d worry about people actually appointed to powerful positions:
consider this would-be Goebbels:
I have argued in favor of a reformulation of First Amendment law. The overriding goal of
the reformulation is to reinvigorate processes of democratic deliberation, by ensuring
greater attention to public issues and greater diversity of views. The First Amendment
should not stand as an obstacle to democratic efforts to accomplish these goals. A New
Deal for speech would draw on Justice Brandeis’ insistence on the role of free speech in
promoting political deliberation and citizenship. It would reject Justice Holmes’
“marketplace†conception of free speech, a conception that disserves the aspirations of
those who wrote America’s founding document.

1995, p. 119
She just came up behind me and I turned around and she was right in my face. She only smiled and said that the removal process was starting to look pretty good.
Just kidding, legion. Not looking for a big debate. But the TP position on this is ironic.

Don’t change the subject, legion. What are your thoughts on the 17th amendment?
Rob’s Harem. Oh, PUH-lease. The very thought!
Yeah, nobody messes with Rob’s Harem 🙂 Although his dog walker probably thinks we are quite a strange set!
forget the teaparty,
check out our own Democratic leadership taking over healthcare:
Now the doctors are being persecuted

We just put up one of those tent signs identifying ourselves as “*rob’s* harem” & no one bothered us.
