"Government has a duty to legislate and enforce morality or you end up like Holland." Where in the United States Constitution do you find Government's duty to legislate morality. You want Government to define morality? Really? So when the Government is run by Democrats, the moral standard will prohibit the "hate speech" of Rush and conservative radio. Hitler and Stalin would applaud you belief that Government should censor radio.
The hypocrisy of the false conservatives is that they want the government to regulate speech when it offends them, however will cry for limited government when those who agree with them are censored. How about individual responsibility instead of government intrusion?

Oh wise one...where do you draw the line then? Gay marriage? Polygamy? Beastiality? Child Pornography? Do you actually think your children should be exposed to Howard Stern? That if somehow they happen to come across him on the radio that it is their "lack of responsibility"? I find it very funny that the definition of "conservative" seems to have changed in the last thirty years.

I do believe in limited government. Governments are installed among men in order to secure Liberty. They are instituted specifically for the reason of enforcing the law, defending against enemies (foreign and domestic) and perpeuating a society where people can live their lives in Freedom. There can be no Liberty without a secure society. Or do you consider an Israeli society where one cannot even go the local coffee shop with the very real threat of being incinerated "free"?

When a terrorist intrudes into our peaceful society, it is the duty and function of the government to kill that terrorist and the little nest he came from by any means possible. Laws cannot exist if you live in a society where they are unenforcable. And that is exactly what the terrorist is trying to do - destroy the rule of law. Make our laws unenforcable. Create chaos, anarchy. Destroy our society. If there are a few instances of accidental and unintentional violations as the result, so be it. It is all in the cause of a greater Liberty.

The same applies to the criminals who foul our airwaves. These people have no respect for America. They slander, lie, spread filth. They have the same motives of the terrorists. They also try to take down our president, chosen by God. That kind of action supports terrorism. An attack on presidnet Bush is an attack on America. Howard Stern, sitting on his fat ass and spending 3 hours every day trying to verbally assassinate Bush is putting this country in danger. Putting our way of life in danger. Putting our children in danger.

Government must take the threats to America seriously and take action if it is warranted. Not being able to use power in the defense of Freedom is the sign of a weak man. Criminal organizations like moveon.org must be fined and shut down. Pornographers and slanderers like Stern must be shut up or arrested. Actors who distribute drug paraphenelia must be imprisoned. Doctors who murder babies must be held accountable. Homos who try and redefine marriage for all of us must be stopped. The government has a responsibility to stop those who would destroy America. Period.

Finally....a voice of reason. Some of these folks were starting to scare me with their support in shutting Stern down. I don't listen to him, but I don't want government telling me not to listen to him.
