I can’t see how this could be constitutional, anymore than hate crimes, or Affirmative Action
Well, this is what they are going to do. It’s not going to be the fairness doctrine. They will go after consolidated media and that is MUCH more difficult to fight and probably much more effective than the Fairness Doctrine.
I have none of the above as I don’t have a TV, it’s good.
Liberals never worry about the Constitution....they have the power they will do what they want.
That would cover the shopping habits of the Dem voterbase.
Like legislate from the bench?
Are you Sirius???????
If this Fairness Doctrine passes, my service may well go off the air. I have Sky Angel IPTV (Christian television programming) and TV sermons may well be outlawed as "hate speech."
You forgot hair transplant commercials!
Much better if we all just don’t go to work until they let us have our freedom of speech again. Won’t take long believe me.
Perhaps this has been suggested, perhaps not. There are at least three things that will get me back into the streets (Last time I was in the streets was in front of Vice Presidents mansion screaming “Get Out of Cheney’s House” after 2000 election, What a great day that was!). They are:
1. A move by the Obama administration on Second Amendment.
2. A move by congressional dems to institute fairness doctrine.
3. A move by congressional dems to snag 401(k) funds.
If any of these ideas begins to pick up steam, a true million man march has to happen. Maybe a couple of million men with organizational help from the NRA. Imagine a couple of million serious men marching silently on DC. Now imagine if every last one of us decked out in camouflage.
You have a very good point. If conservative talk radio is censored, how long until Sunday Church Services are censored?
I think that’s a great idea! Even better to get Rush, Sean, Fox, whoever in on it so we can start broadcasting our intent, just as they have broadcasted theirs.
Don’t forget Christian groups, I don’t think they’re nearly as happy with this election as they have been portrayed.
Count me in and I AM serious.
We have the power of the free market. If every McCain/Palin voter protested the media like this, it would have a dire and immediate impact. If we do this every time and at every level that they try to push their socialism on us, they will learn quickly learn that socialism is getting them the opposite of what they want.
We need to take our kids out of the public indoctrination centers, too. If the value of our homes have gone down drastically, get a tax reassessment and pay less in tax.
We can hurt them right where they live--in the wallet. The Socialists and the media don't like capitalism and the free market? Okay, let's not pay for their worthless services any longer.
When it comes down to practical realities, the almighty dollar will always trump over ideology. Call it a nonviolent revolution of passive resistance.
This is probably not going to sit well but, again, The Emperor is Wearing - No Clothes! Talk radio deserves to die the death. Their effectiveness in the last election (hard to say that word ) was laughable. Savage promised a wave of voters. Rush had a plan - yeah! A Plan to boost his ratings. The day before the election I listened to his show and there was a ‘supposed’ Obama supporter on the phone. I doubt an Obama supporter even knew enough to call Rush, especially the woman (Actress) I heard.
I am concentrating on the Peak Oil issue and readying myself and my household for my Lord’s return - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
Are their any organizations that are mobilized to fight this specific issue?
And the Marxists would care? Less competion for the "Official Organs" of the state. It would be a nice side effect for them.
XtreMly Sirus!
If they put pressure on Justice Kennedy anything is possible. The threat of folks canceling their television packages would really have impact on Chucky’s state. He gets wind that we are serious about our boycott he would think twice about passing it. He needs a fastball thrown under his chin...he’s leaning left over the plate
