1. Complete transition to Thugocracy.
10 and 9 are realistic.
They also want to normalize relations with N. Korea.
11. Obama will have any minister arrested for hate speech who says that marriage is meant for one man and one woman. He will outlaw the reading of the book of Romans in the Bible.
And he will try to legalize marriage between man and beast.
Dude, where’s my freedom?
MYIRA is closing in also. I heard public comment ended mid-December, but never heard an announcement that it had started.
No, there was always a market for talk radio, but during the 60s and 70s it was stifled by the fairness doctrine. It was the law of the land that said that for each opinion, an opposing opinion had to be aired at the same time, same bat channel. Its an oversimplication but it meant the destruction of the free exchange of ideas. Ideas are like everything, for sale. If they don’t sell, they should go out of business and businesses shouldnt be for forced to sell them. That means radio stations shouldnt have to air opinions that don’t sell to their listening audience. Listen if you think I am wrong, tell me why ABC, CBS, and NBC aren’t held to the same standard?
My comment below:
“Obviously you did not grow up with the ‘FAIRNESS DOCTRINE’, which was ended during the Reagan Administration.
The equality and fairness is that for all a conservative says, a liberal may take equal time....what is not realized is that the liberal may be the dull, uninteresting blowhard, who takes up the same amount of time droning on and on. It’s too late as you have already changed channels or turned it off. Young people end up avoiding the show all together.”
****Maybe you should think about my first comments above... about the Fairness Doctrine, since it is basically what you said.
The only difference is that the Fairness Doctrine went away during Ronald Reagan’s Administration....
Now Obama wants “Net Neutrality” which is similar but worse.
Jeez, don’t give him any ideas! Satire has become prophecy!
Don’t get me started on net neutrality. Bandwidth sells. An ISP can sell to a high volume page and charge them a volume discount and can try to get the most hits from web pages(guess what) get the most hits and make money. Or they can be forced to forced to charge even the most idiotic page the same amount even if it doesnt get more than 3 hits a month. Shoot, let me put it like this. JC Penny’s Kmart, Walmart, and Sears didn’t make their money, employ millions, and help our economy by being forced to sell products by the government. For every cheap and affordable product that they sold there were a million idiot/bad products they didnt sell. Same goes for ideas on radio.
Don’t immanentize the eschaton! ;)
Oh, the opportunities at that time to do what you wanted, and change gears if necessary, not like today. The youth of today are really in tough times.
Thanks Delacon.
last one From the article:
1. The Obama administration to propose a new Constitutional Amendment allowing individuals born in Africa or Asia to serve as President of the United States; also, the administration to propose the repeal of the 22nd Amendment.
Because this is from Breitbart and not Semmens, no "satire" warning is needed because web searches won't confuse readers because it's from Breitbart?

The Net Neutrality will also strip ‘free speech’, along with stealing from the users. Let us pray it does not come, yet surely it will.
Thanks Civ
I just want to say that because it was a breitbart article, I had to post it as an excerpt. I couldnt fit in number one.
It must be difficult to write satire In a world where the President of the United States is a race baiting demagogue
As a Cuban exile, I feel betrayed by President Obama
by Carlos Eire
December 20/2014

I am furious, in pain, and deeply offended by those who laud this betrayal of the Cuban people as a great moment in history.
My family and native land were destroyed by the brutal Castro regime. In 1959, as an 8-year-old, I listened to mobs shout “paredon!” (to the firing squad!). I watched televised executions, and was terrified by the incessant pressure to agree with a bearded dictator’s ideals.
As the months passed, relatives, friends, and neighbors began to disappear. Some of them emerged from prison with detailed accounts of the tortures they endured, but many never reappeared, their lives cut short by firing squads.
I also witnessed the government’s seizure of all private property – down to the ring on one’s finger – and the collapse of my country’s economy. I began to feel as if some monstrous force was trying to steal my mind and soul through incessant indoctrination.
By the age of 10, I was desperate to leave.
The next year, my parents sent me to the United States. I am one of the lucky 14,000 unaccompanied children rescued by Operation Pedro Pan. Our plan to reunite within a few months was derailed by the policies of the Castro regime, which intentionally prevented people like my parents from leaving Cuba. Although my mother did manage to escape three years later, my father remained stuck for the rest of his life. When he died, 14 years after my departure, the Castro regime prevented me from attending his funeral.
* * *
I am now a professor of history and religion at Yale University.
And I long for justice. Instead of seeing Raúl Castro shaking President Obama’s hand, I would like to see him, his brother, and all their henchmen in a court room, being tried for crimes against humanity. I also long for genuine freedom in Cuba. Instead of seeing his corrupt and abusive regime rewarded with favors from the United States, I long for the day when that regime is replaced by a genuine democracy with a free market economy.
