Funny how little has changed in 40 years:

"In a very real and terrifying sense, our Government is the CIA and the Pentagon, with Congress reduced to a debating society.  Of course, you can't spot this trend to fascism by casually looking around.  You can't look for such familiar signs as the swastika, because they won't be there.  We won't build Dachaus and Auschwitzes; the clever manipulation of the mass media is creating a concentration camp of the mind that promises to be far more effective in keeping the populace in line.  We're not going to wake up one morning and suddenly find ourselves in gray uniforms goose-stepping off to work.  But this isn't the test.  The test is: What happens to the individual who dissents? In Nazi Germany, he was physically destroyed; here the process is more subtle, but the end results are the same.  I've learned enough about the machinations of the CIA in the past year to know that this is no longer the dreamworld America I once believed in.  The imperatives of the population explosion, which almost inevitably will lessen our belief in the sanctity of the individual human life, combined with the

It was in June that President Bush first began talking about “revisionist history”, a gambit that took some of us a little by surprise since he showed no previous signs of having read any history, revisionist or otherwise.

Dear Sirs:

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the Michael Medved show last Friday as Medved cleaned Wasserman's clock. As disgusted as I was with Wasserman spewing forth non-stop dog crap, I decided the more he spews out, the better. With all the sludge the socialists, bong-gurgling anarchists, Blame-America-first Chomskyites and conspiracy-theory crackpots spew forth, the more likely that President Bush will do a 50-state electoral sweep in November '04. So everybody keep flapping their jaws.
