Wes Clark thinks that political speech should be rated and regulated. I think that’s an awesome idea… but if, and only if, I’m the one determining what types of political speech is appropriate or not. I think I’d be good at that and wouldn’t be arbitrary at all (except when bored).
The only problem I see is that some people aren’t going to like my decisions and are going to come onto my lawn to protest. Thus, along with the power to regulate speech, I will also need the power to execute people. When people know you have the power to execute, they stay off your lawn.
You know, despite all of the wonderful essays that you write, I will always think that your best work comes out in these smaller posts. You don’t need to be a novelist to be witty, if you ask me. Keep up the good work.

Your on a roll Frank J.
Can the faithful ronin be given the power to execute too? Please? Please? Please? That would be totally sweet.
Can one of the rules you enact be similar to the “Truth in Advertising” regulation?
For instance, the MSM keeps referring to Weasely Clark as “Former” Supreme NATO Commander. In military vernacular he was “relieved” before he completed his tour. Therefore his true title should be Fired Supreme NATO Commander.
“When people know you have the power to execute, they stay off your lawn.”
Superb.
Wesley Clark can start by regulating his own depraved, sold-out mouth. Everytime I see/listen to him, I cringe and want to throw chairs.
You should definitely have the power and the right to execute people, Frank. Nobody deserves that like you do.
And I’ll continue to stay off your lawn.
Frank, just shoot on sight and keep a stash of cheap knives handy for planting after the fact. Self-defense clauses are your friend.
I don’t get this guy. He wants to stifle Limbaugh for a blown-outta-proportion comment about some faux-ldier on AFR, even though exposing the phonies vindicates the armed forces.
How any self-respecting military man, especially a retired general, could endorse Hillary for President is beyond me. After all the bulls**t the Clinton’s pulled on the military during their circus stint in the White House, he should’ve been leading an assault team against the traitors.
Frank, this is why we need FRED! as President. Once elected, he can execute people who come onto your lawn. That’s why it’s called the execute-ive branch of the government.
Um, excuse me Mr. Fleming, sir, but can I have my baseball back? It rolled up there behind your rose bushes…..
How long before Wesley’s trying to kill all the Jooos.
