Fingers crossed. I don’t know what I’d do without Rush, Sean, Laura, Mark Levin, etc etc!
I think we’ll see a civil war withing the democrat party. Too many things promised to too many different people.
It will be on his desk and signed by him by 1 Mar 09.
He’ll move on it immediately, as well as on amnesty with voting rights.
After all, it is best to decapitate your enemy with a devastating initial attack... and Obama’s enemy is America.
Zero complained of harsh treatment repeatedly throughout his campaign. Also he and other Dims have been increasingly vocal about the Unfairness Doctrine. He has complete control of the MSM so he has simply got to silence the opposition. He doesn’t care about how he is perceived. He will take radical steps to fundamentally change our country forever. I do not expect to see free elections in 2012. By then his takeover will be complete and we will have a Chavez on our hands.
OBAMA: WILL THE LAST HONEST REPORTER PLEASE EXIT THE PLANE.
OBAMA: WILL THE LAST HONEST REPORTER PLEASE SHUT UP.
I think people need to be a little more educated on the Fairness Doctrine. It doesn’t take radio stations off the air, per se, it doesn’t force a conservative to have liberals on his show. What it does do, in the short run, is force radio stations to allow liberals to buy equal time, or force them to run public service type programs in place of that equal time. What that will do in the long run, is force radio stations to either go out of business, because liberal radio does not generate revenue, or change their format from 24/7 conservative talk. In my area, we have one station that plays Beck, then Rush, then a local conservative, followed by Hannity. Fairness doctrine would force them to sell time to liberals, but if it’s like the old fairness doctrine, that time wouldn’t have to be primetime...so we’ll go back to liberals in the middle of the night. All this is predicated on the Fairness Doctrine being reinstated in the form it was in the 70’s.
Conservatives could create a slate of "leftwing" programs even weaker (if that's possible) than the current ones out there and shop these out to stations being forced to broadcast leftwing fare.
What "test"? He's already stated he'll sign it.
All it will do is force consevitive talkradio to move to satilite, internet radio, and podcasting.
All I know is if I’m a conservative radio talk show host, and geography means nothing anymore, I’m relocating to Canada and broadcasting via shortwave and satellite.
I’d buy a shortwave or get a satellite subscription to hear something besides the claptrap on our media systems. FoxNews will be another target; “fair and balanced” doesn’t cut it with socialists.
The “Fairness Doctrine” is to free speech what Title IX is to male college athletics.
“Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kinda cool.”
Expect a LOT of executive orders, followed by confirming legislation from the now totally tame and subservient national legislature, and rulings from the compliant Federal judiciary, who face impeachment and removal from office if they resist, to be replaced by much more tractable and reliable candidates.
It is our duty, as Americans, to goad this monstrosity of a regime into taking itself over the cliff, and forcing the resulting period of anarchy. Use Saul Alinsky’s strategies against the governing power that got put in place by those same tactics.
Assume there shall be a complete suspension of the Constitution, and begin arranging for a new country to be carved out of the existing real estate. There are red and blue counties in every state. Try to form an alliance between all the red counties, ignoring state lines for now. The blue counties shall then be embargoed, and essentially put to siege, as most of them do not have the internal resources to survive without their dependence on the surrounding red counties. They want to be Cuba, let’s give them a taste of Cuba.
Why wouldn’t the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine meet a court challenge?
Would conservatives just roll over and play dead?
Woe-R-Us
Obama’s first test will likely be watching Russian tanks roll into Kosovo. Watching that would almost be worth it...
He’ll bring it back I think. And he will want to absolutely find a way to shut down YouTube. That led him to all sorts of uncomfortable moments, even without talk radio.
I think you're right though. Selling “fairness” to the masses should be pretty easy. Of course, everything coming out of a dem mouth is “fair” so there is no need for an opposing opinion.
This is not “wait and see”, or “cross fingers”.
This is start writing letters as soon as the bastards start talking about the “fairness doctrine”. Make phone calls, send email.
Liberals are despicable people. They don’t care about our rights or the Constitution. They care about getting elected. Write to them.
Does anyone know of any states willing to secede from the union? The military would join us since 80% hate hussein, thereby rendering the zero zombies without military protection.
