Rudolph Giuliani has calmly asserted, "freedom is about authority."

[Gabi Hayes]

Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.

dunno when, where he said it, but I've come across it a few times recently.

ties in quite well with this, yes?

it's in the bag for Rudy to get the nomination, unless he really freaks out in public, big time. The media are MUCH farther up his slimy ass than they were Bush's at any point other than right after 911, when they were equally entrenched in both rectal regions.

And don't think the far right is going to have any say in who gets the nomination. They're interested in power and influence above all else, and they'll fall in line for America's mayor, just as they did for the chimp.

Just watch it happen.

I'm watching it right now on MSNBC, as tweety slobbers all over Giuliani, and Jim Vandehei discusses how the conservatrog voters will go along with him. Craig Crawford says they probably won't be as much a factor this time, may not vote in the general, which may help dems. this is because, he said, they've been burned so many times in the past (by pug leaders who sing there tune during the campaigns, then fail to act on their most cherished causes?).

Matthews just said something very close to this, btw: "....and that's why I'm FOR him," meaning Rudy.

Right before your eyes.....
