TERRORISM IS MEDIA-DEPENDENT WAR

Randall Collins.

I would just add: Liberal Media-Dependent.

See also: DK's recent posts, re the liberal media for the past 120 years....

He also discusses the liberal elite, which functioned, domestically and judicialy, similarly to how the same political elite in the other branches functioned globally:

"...If in fact a conservative justice is appointed, it will, I think, mark the end of an era that began in 1954.  During the next six and a half decades, an educated elite used the court system to turn its values on a number of key issues into national policy.  Don't misunderstand me, I am a charter member of that educated elite myself, and on most issues those values are my values as well.  But there has never been a real consensus around many of them in the country at large, and the attempt to impose them has had a lot of very negative consequences...." DK

As he admits, it was hardly a judicial consensus. 

I would just add, not a lasting consensus, in any branch, ever.

Cf Tocqueville, recent quote........
