This is where we are going to learn what it means to be self-governing.
We are going to HAVE to stay on top of our representatives in DC. The “fairness” doctrine is just one of the boatload of initiatives the left is going to start using against us.

The people in this country only lose their freedoms if they ALLOW it. Now, do we fight or roll over like DC republicans?

Shouldn't be too hard to find a few republicans willing to reach across the aisle to muzzle the people who defeated amnesty .

Like I said earlier, if China can do it, so can an Obama Nation.

Woops, so you suppose they are taking names yet. Just a minute, I have to go answer my door.

Obama, do it fast, preferably in the first couple months. I want as much time as possible for it to run through the courts. I want this to be your Waterloo early in the term, much as XXX-42 picked "Don't ask, don't tell" and Hillarycare as his first actions. Try to shut down opposition radio like the tinpot commie dictator you are and we might repeat 1994.

Obama won’t need to to push this bill right away. After all, more than 50% of the American electorate believes the MSM. However, I suspect, the Fairness Doctrine will come in handy as he nears his 2nd term election.

I don’t doubt that opposition to this and to expanding “hate crime” laws and “campaign finance reform” regulations will coalesce and make a lot of noise. But remember that the leftist “main stream” media is going to support the left’s efforts to muzzle the opposition. And remember that the government that will come into power next January will be the dominated by far-left ideologues who consider the constitution to be largely irrelevant and an impediment to good governance (except when treated as a “living” document in which case it is anything they want it to be). There is much reason to believe that laws aimed at perpetuating the current majority will be enacted. These will include amnesty and citizenship for millions of illegals and laws intended to regulate and effectively muzzle political opposition. Who will stop them? The filibuster can be rendered impotent by a vote of the senate at any time. I do not see the leftists in the senate having the same qualms about a “nuclear option” that the GOP had a few years back.

I sure do hope I am wrong about all this. I really, really do.

I’m not so sure the Fairness Doctrine will be implemented, and if it is, I expect the large radio networks to astroturf their required “liberal” media required time slots.

i.e. Bring in Libertarians and make them argue over the issues where libertarians and Democrats coincide on positions.

Bring it! They’ve never seen protest like they will if they try to take Rush off the air.

Hmm...well, you can see how the argument runs. The fact that Rush makes millions and AAR is broke is pure economic INJUSTICE, and so to remediate (and we all want to be FAIR, don't we?) he has to give it to them. And, of course, a slot on the station lineup he's created. Oh, and not half, either - when one factors in the historical OPPRESSION he probably needs to pony up all of it.

It would be satire worthy of Orwell except that it happens to be their precise argument.
