I didn't see anything about government censorship. I think Bozell was saying he doesn't like them. Neither do I.

A big thumbs up for this column . . . Hollywood has completely transformed what Americans think is 'quality entertainment,' funny, and socially acceptable. I hate gross-out films and movies that glorify or paint immoral behavior as 'the new normal.'n Even though I once loved going to movies, I now see oerhaps a couple of new ones each year . . . and I am sure there are millions more like me who represent a vast, untapped audience (revenue stream) if filmakers would go back to being mature, moral grown-ups, and making movies about 'nice things' . . .

What does it mean?

Indeed, it does.

There will be no 'debate.' There are those of us who pay attention to such things, but most of the people I know are relatively apolitical, and their primary objective is always to take a bland, inoffensive view of everyone and everything - with their only fear being people like us who state things (however tactfully) in stark and 'alarmist' terms. They prefer to believe that everyone, underneath the surface, wants and believes the same things they do, and that America has nothing to fear. People who see groups like the MB as a threat are simply bigots, and they dismiss our evidence and our argument without ever giving it a fair hearing. And there are more people like them than there are people like us.

Still guilty of government control (whether socialist or fascist) of the healthcare system. Our side has conceded FAR too much if it is simply seeking to formulate new Federally-run / -mandated sytems, and then argue that 'our side's' systems are more efficient than those of the opposition. In this as well as other arenas, I would advocate for Constitutionally-mandated personal liberty.

I agree with 95% of his ideas, but this is the embarrassing sort of thing that makes him unelectable. I'll guess I'll just continue to hope for a president who shares 45% of my ideas. :-(

Because scraping the bottom of the barrel is what 'us guys' do . . . we're not good people like you. :-) After all, it would be a tragedy to spend a second feeling regret for the murder of a police officer - and lionizing the perpetrator is a noble act, indeed. It would be hard not to respect anyone like you and this 'rapper' . . . if everyone in the nation were like you, we would be a truly great country again! :-)

Not a very well reasoned argument . . . how about if you lay out which part of what the author said wasn't true?
