Annoyed by your Critics? Silence them!

The president’s approval ratings are going down. The economy is stagnant, and the president’s efforts at jump-starting it have met with little success. After rushing through a series of bailouts and company takeovers, the president's Marxist advisors recommended a slew of vast, draconian “reform” policies. But the public has grown increasingly skeptical. Consumer confidence is at an all-time low.

The president’s detractors on the airwaves have become more numerous and more vocal than ever before. And it’s no longer just the conservatives. The mainstream media have also begun to criticize the president's policies.

Something must be done, and quickly.

The president decides that the best course of action will be to silence the critics. A bill aimed at communications reform is introduced. A “fairness doctrine” is proposed, which will insure that “both sides on any given issue will be heard.”

I don't blame him. If I was him, I wouldn't want the public to know what I'm doing, either

The mad dash for more power has hardly slowed down, I think its about to accelerate.

Obummer is NOT trying to jump-start the economy!

The press and most people refuse to recognize everything he does is planned to take down this free country and replace it with either Fascism or Communism.

Problem is, Obama cannot silence the critics. Our society is too sophisticated, and information WILL flow freely.

Yup! Here in LA they preempted Rust on Monday to make a blow by blow exercise on the fires. What the hell did that do. Put the fires out? So we have fires. Nobody likes them but who turns on 640 to listen to the fires? Looks like every emergency kills conservative talk radio. You watch, here it is 8:51 and want to bet at 9, no Rush. By the way, turned the dial and couldn't find a liberal crapper preempted.
