1. You sound like quite the conservative, OCM.

2. Now, now.  Don’t talk about killing the jackass liberals. It’s unacceptable to kill fellow countrymen, no matter how wrong or crazy their ideas are.  Just beat them in the Arena of Ideas.  And the best way to do that is to let them talk.

3. If that is Barney’s only bullet, he had better find something other than a hot water pistol to fire it.

4. Riggs hit it spot on.  John Milton suggested the same thing in his Aeropagitica, wherein he argued that the marketplace of ideas is the best place to sort things out.

   Surely, the best thing for our side is to keep letting Bra-bra Streisand, Sean Penn-sky, Martin Esteves, the Dixie Chunks, and others run their pie holes.  If more people, over time, go over to that side, then so be it.  If they “win” then it means that we didn’t do a good enough job “selling” our ideas to a population that is too stupid to understand in the first place.  We get what we deserve, and we deserve what we allow.

5. Thanks Shir- INC!  Well said.  And thanks for the Aeropagitica page.  I can put down Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell (written by David Michaels) for a while and read something by Milton.  All I’ve read of him is parts of Paradise Lost.  After I read Aeropagitica I will probably be on a Milton kick, so maybe this time I’ll finish it.
