Below are some of the Communist Goals for destroying America (published way back in the 60's) look how closely they mirror the libertarian agenda today.

--------------------------------------------

Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch.

Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state." Recall article 52 of the Soviet Constitution: "The church in the U.S.S.R. is separated from the state and the school from the church." (Article 52)

Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

Compare the above list to some of the libertarian party's platform: -----------------------------------

the repeal of all laws regarding consensual sexual relations, including prostitution and solicitation, and the cessation of state oppression and harassment of homosexual men and women, that they, at last, be accorded their full rights as individuals;

the repeal of all laws regulating or prohibiting the possession, use, sale, production, or distribution of sexually explicit material, independent of "socially redeeming value" or compliance with "community standards";

We oppose any abridgment of the freedom of speech through government censorship, regulation or control of communications media, including, but not limited to, laws concerning: Obscenity, including "pornography", as we hold this to be an abridgment of liberty of expression despite claims that it instigates rape or assault, or demeans and slanders women;

We advocate a strict separation of church and State.

We condemn the attempts by parents... to force children to conform to any religious views.

Spare me. Seen 'em, shake my head and wonder why someone like you thinks we should let Gov't dictate what we consume? We're talking about broadcast media. We have Gov;t saying what is good and what is not. How long till Gov't says the "Passion" (Gibson's film) is not acceptable? What about 9/11? We didn't see 70% of what happened that day (unless of course you were a residence of that area).

Too many years of democratic congress are the result of that list, but that's a different discussion. Rest assured, maintain a gov't entitiy in what is broadcast, that list will be rock solid in a few more years.

Side not to all..Wasn't the FCC origianlly encarnated to monitor the frequencies station's operated off of? How did they get into what's right or wrong?
