In listening to Carter’s improbable nostrums for bringing peace to the Middle East, or Clinton’s latest attempts to breathe new life into the Alien and Sedition Acts, one can only admire the wisdom of the American people in limiting Presidents to eight years in office. Do you wonder why the existence of Foxnews, talk radio, and freedom of speech in the blogosphere is a good thing? Here’s a data point for you. If it weren’t for them, there would be no counter to the Left’s latest attempts to limit the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances to those who agree with them. These people need to revise the bumper stickers on their Volvos to “Question the Questioning of Authority.” As for the Administration’s legacy media poodles, I can only suggest that they go to the next big “peace” demonstration and look around. If they’re really worried about demonstrators who promote acts of violence, it might occur to them to consider what all those people in black hoods are there for.
