Title: "Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech

You may want to avoid the activities of the current occupant, who has become so ubiquitous on TV that I turn the damn thing off when he comes on. He has, IMHO, turned the Bully pulpit into the Bull**** pulpit. David   "Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech.

Depending on circumstances this might mean investigating lending practices by large banks, or such practices as reverse mortgages in which banks have a license to steal real property for a fraction of real value, can investigate labor unions guilty of unfair practices, can seek to uncover criminality among political movements like Neo-Nazis, Neo-Communists, and Anarchists, and much else, all of which have political dimensions. This includes investigating criminal religious organizations like the MSA, Muslim Students Association, with its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.   An RC president could seek to create a mass movement in favor of Radical Centrism. Many opportunities for this exist, such as invitations to the WH for RC leaders, and publicity that would result, granting interviews with RC publications or to talk show hosts, and so forth.   An RC president could propose legislation which could be introduced to the Congress by any supporters he may have in either chamber. That, by itself, would hardly ensure passage, but with effective WH campaigning on behalf of proposed legislation some bills ought to be voted on and approved.   The WH can review any and all budget proposals favored by both parties and offer critiques of as many parts of these budgets and desired. In the process the president could offer suggestions for resolving budget conflicts. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <RadicalCentrism@googlegroups.com> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <RadicalCentrism@googlegroups.com> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
