I have a dream that one day we'll find old social programs that aren't working well today -- and shut them down. It's only a dream.

For years, peace activists and environmentalists targeted the two huge transmitters in the Chequamegon National Forest near Clam Lake and in Upper Michigan's Escanaba State Forest.

This should help the presdient win the votes of environmental wackos -- right?

I think it'd be great to shut down the gigantic ones that Bush has rammed through.

That is a dream. The cry would be that the programs just haven't been shown enough love and imagination yet. Imagine if the Navy used that argument to keep faulty equipment!

Hardly... because somehow they'll justify blaming Bush for initiating the program 40 years before he became President.

If you ask me, the parties who oppose this technology are a damned good reason to KEEP the technology in place! The so-called "peace activists" are nothing but communist sympathizers who seek to leave the free world weak and our enemies strong. And as for the envirowhackos, they're the reason why we're so dependent on Arab oil. If we were unencumbered by their neo-socialist lunacy, we'd be drilling offshore and in the ANWR without complication and would have enough oil to lay down the law on the Arab Street without fear of oil-based reprisals.

Demonstrations led to hundreds of arrests, some for trespassing onto the site and sawing down poles.

Someone should have hit the “transmit” button when they were cutting the poles.

Shut Down Sub Radio

Never thought much of the sub radio. For that matter, I didn't think the burger radio was all that hot either.
