Democratic National Committee calls for Republican boycott of The Daily Caller, Rush Limbaugh
5:01 AM 12/13/2013
As a news reporter for The Daily Caller for more than one year now, I have worked alongside the finest reporters and editors in the city of Washington, D.C.
My fellow reporters and editors have broken some of the biggest stories of the year 2013, and have provided more headaches for a presidential administration than any news bureau since The Washington Post in the period 1972-74.
Jay Carney can attack our veteran White House correspondent and even our brave interns. But we’re not going to stop asking questions about the Obama administration’s policies or the policies of senior Democratic leaders. Just like we’re not going to stop asking questions about the policies and viewpoints of Republican congressional leaders, as well.
I’m going to turn it over now to a man who was far more eloquent and insightful in this kind of situation than myself.
“Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations,” said James Madison in the Virginia Ratifying Convention on June 16, 1788.
Madison was 37 years old at the time of those remarks. He had served admirably at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, earning the title by which he is currently known: “Father of the Constitution.” He was trying here to convince 168 Virginia delegates to ratify the new Constitution, despite strong opposition from Anti-Federalist Patrick Henry.
On June 25, 1788, Virginia became the tenth state to ratify the Constitution of the United States. Madison went on the following year to be elected to the first Congress, despite efforts by Henry to gerrymander his district and swing the vote toward Madison’s rival James Monroe. In Congress, Madison fought against the conventional thinking of elder legislators to give us our Bill of Rights, which affords us the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press.
Madison was still a single man at this time, but his appreciative gaze ended up settling on the beautiful Dolley Todd, whom he married in 1794. The lovely and intelligent Dolley Madison later defined the role of the First Lady in the United States, and saved the classic Landsdowne portrait of George Washington when the British set fire to the White House in 1814.
I don’t know about Lily Adams from the Democratic National Committee. But as for me, I’m going to keep looking at women who are attractive.
