If americans wish to preserve a country they will recognize, then the first step is to recognize the enemy. public education is the enemy. the entertainment industry is the enemy. the corporate culture is the enemy. the advertising industry is the enemy. and most of the politicians in both parties are the enemy. an enemy is defined as anybody, or any organization, which is attacking the traditional beliefs of americans.

I have said, and i believe, that potentially we have in this country a free enterprise system of radio and television which is superior to any other. but to achieve its promise, it must be both free and enterprising. there is no suggestion here that networks or individual stations should operate as philanthropies. but i can find nothing in the bill of rights or in the communications act which says that they must increase their net profits each year, lest the republic collapse.
