Barack Obama and Democrats to terminate Free speech
Mainestategop ^ | Mainestategop

In 2004 and 2007, Democrats attempted to quietly destroy the first amendment. With help from the communist Anti Defamation League, Democrats attempted to pass two bills that would have enacted speech code ordinances to silence free speech in the name of protecting "vulnerable minorities." This law would only protect certain classes of people while doing nothing to protect others. It would also have the potential of silencing dissent, muzzling public opinions on important subjects and preventing the spread of ideas. The bill quietly went through both the house and senate without a word by even republicans. Thankfully, president Bush vetoed both bills.

Similarly, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats have tried to bring back an outrageous and equally fascist law called the fairness doctrine. Labeled properly by its opponents as the censorship doctrine, the bill would require that any discussion would require rebuttals with equal time.

At first glimpse many would say, well why not give them equal time? The problem is that rather than just a brief rebuttal, there would have to be a rebuttal with equal time. So for example, a radio network gives Rush Limbaugh one hour to talk about a certain subject, then they would have to give someone such as Al Franken or Amy Goodmen equal time to refute claims. Rush like most conservative pundits is a popular host with many advertisers who in turn bring in revenue for the network. Al Franken, Amy Goodmen and the majority of other liberal pundits are not very popular and therefore are not very profitable.

Faced with six hours of talk radio, half with many advertisers paying for slots on popular radio shows and the other half with few advertisers paying for air time, not to mention the fact they face numerous bills to pay to the government and for licensing and other communist regulations by the FCC, the owners of radio stations and networks would have to replace six hours of talk radio and discussion with six hours of music instead.

Its not just talk radio folks, religious programs would also suffer. A pastor who preaches a 2 hour sermon Christian faith would have to give 2 more to an atheist and vice versa. A civil rights activist preaching equality and justice would have to give equal time to neo nazis and Ku Klux Klansmen. The end result is a loss of free speech and an end to political discussion.

Radio and Television are not the only ones to suffer. It is suggested that this would lead to major regulation of the Internet as well. A blogger paying for a website about America's values of freedom and liberty would have to also pay for a communist liberal to spout his views of bigger government and control over our lives. Doing a website about a new religion, you must give time to a detractor.

There are other problems faced as well with the censorship doctrine. First of all, the doctrine can be selectively enforced. Liberals are not required to give equal time to conservatives but not the other way around. Consider that we the taxpayers pay for PBS and NPR which broadcasts anti Americanism, opposition to the war on terror and supports leftist dictators and Jihadists. There is virtually no opposition.

Second, what if there is no one available or even willing to do a rebuttal? No broadcast then.

Why is Talk Radio so popular?

Liberals just don't seem to get the fact that the reason conservative talk radio is popular because the majority of Americans crave it! No one wants to listen to an anti American Marxist like Amy Goodman denounce her own nation and freedoms that made it great, they want a patriot and someone who understands the virtues that founded this country.

Liberals need to realize that there are many mediums they have access to. They have NPR and PBS, funded by we the taxpayers. Theres also the Internet.

Localism: a back door for fascism

Barack Obama has discussed the use of another method that has not been enforced in 30 years, localism. Localism is the notion that local radio and television stations must meet the needs of the local population, specifically minorities and the poor. That means that communities made up of Democrat Welfare bums can shut up opponents of government waste and corruption in favor of Bolsheviks. A black preacher like Jeremiah Wright can advocate genocide against whites Chicanos and Asians but the later group can't even rebuke him because its "not in the best interest of the community."

On the other hand, Liberals can expect problems trying to broadcast in republican communities like Lubbock Texas, Silver City California, Tupelo Mississippi or Salt Lake city Utah.

The tactic is taken out of the pages of Karl Marx's communist Manifesto. One of his planks was the control by government of communications and publishing. This would ensure total control over the people and they would be forced to read and accept what the state says. The Nazis, (National Socialists)also practiced this. Hopefully we can take back America in 2012 and maybe get rid of the FCC and bring back free speech.

One of the first moves of any coup d’etat is to secure and control the means of communication: usually the national radio and television stations. This must be done in the first few hour of the coup, and they must be up and broadcasting by the time the coup has completed — else the success of the coup is in jeopardy.

What you have there in the US is a coup that has been carried out by democratic means. They must, can, and shall control the means of communication: it is vital to their success. It is their single point-of-failure: if they fail to do this, their coup d’etat fails and Obama becomes a one-term Kenyan-born POTUS.

The dems idea assumes there are just two sides. There are an infinite number of opinions and “sides” out there. Who decides how many “sides” there are? So besides the obvious free speech problems their plan is simply unworkable.

That's why AM radio was a vast wasteland of bubble gum music, gardening and self-improvement garbage pre-1987 and will soon return to the same.

While we still have free speech I wish to say a few things:

I wish the filthy disease ridden queers would go back in the closet.

I wish al gore would shut up about global warming.

I wish the animal rights wackos would put a muzzle on it.

I really hate Michelle ‘ma belles’ wardrobe

Obama has big ears and is ugly

Capitalism is cool

Michael Moore needs to go back to Canada and shut the f*** up.

Rush Limbaugh rules!

Sean Hannity is cool too!

Socialism has failed every time it has been tried.

I believe in freedom of speech, carry guns, and religion.

Abortion is the murder of a fetus.

Hillary Clinton rides a broomstick home from work

Oral sex is a sexual act

Chuck norris would make a great president

Gay sex is perverted and should still be outlawed. (sodomy)

There should be prayer in school

anyone care to add to this list?

Is not free speech wonderful?

As a matter of fact I got a few things I want to say before BHO's supporters cancel out our bill of rights: Welfare recipients, illegal aliens and government employees are the root cause of all economic callamities in the past 50 years

When our boys come home from Iraq we should put them on the Mexican and Canadian borders with shoot to kill orders since illegal immigration is an act of war. No need to speaky spanish or french eh? Once some of the kukarachas and hosers are dispatched for crossing, the rest will get the message.

CEOS who get tax cuts and send jobs overseas and hire illegals along with redistributing their wealth to the Dems and other leftwing groups should have their organs harvested to pay down our national debt.

Communists, antiwar pro saddam activists, antiamerican whackos, Radical Islamists, White supremecists, black panthers and others should be either charged with treason and shot or blacklisted from working in the government and be registered as marxists.

911 was NOT and inside job, it was because Bill Clinton didn't nab Osama when he had a chance.

The Israelis should be allowed to keep their land and be turned loose to deal with its terrorist problem as should India, Europe and Yugoslavia.

Kosovo belongs to the serbs, Pakistan belongs to India, Tibet belongs to Tibet, the southwest belongs to the US.

People who hate this country should be paid a lump sum to leave and not come back under penalty of death

The federal government should impose a cap on how much states can tax their citizens and how big their government can be,

People who oppose the second amendment should be required by law to have a sign on their front lawns saying, "ATTENTION CRIMINALS! WE ARE ALL LEFT WING WUSSIES WHO HATE GUNS AND ARE UNARMED!"

Any nation that has aided terrorism should be neutron bombed.

...After that, they should be conquered, their leaders killed and converted to Christianity.

All future immigration should halted for 10 years and all immigrants must take loyality oaths to the bill of rights, God, and country.

Sign legislation abolition Russia forever. (Begin bombing in 5 minutes)

Cuba should become our 51st state.

drug dealers, pedophiles, rapists, murderers and those who commit grand larceny should be tried convicted and executed immediatly.

Opponents of the death penalty should be required by law to live in violent neighborhoods like New Orleans, Youngston Ohio, Gary Indiana and Compton.

Global warming activists should be deported to either Alaska, the Dakotas, Duluth Minnesota, Northern Washington or Aroostok county Maine. (Living Maine certainly helped me change my mind :))

AHHHH! THAT FELT MUCH BETTER!
