White House plan puts bull's-eye on talk shows

WND ^ | 1-27-09 | Bob Unruh

[Nachum]

The White House is promising new reviews of the "obligations" to the government by broadcasters who "occupy the nation's spectrum" just as the president has targeted conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh for a public attack, raising concerns over the possible restoration of the "Fairness Doctrine," a policy that failed as unneeded and unconstitutional two decades ago.

[GeronL]

We’d never hear about the anti-conservative violence without talk radio. After the FD they will seek to regulate the content of internet sites...

[Pontiac]

There is nothing in this article that indicates any return of the fairness doctrine-more WND nonsense.

Of course not.

They will call it something else and use slightly different methods to achieve the same goals.

Typical leftist strategy.

I'm going to assume the next to last line of this post was the objectional part??? I'm going to repost and "edited" version here. If there's something else wrong with the rant, please advise.

I despise you. I despise your petty, vindictive rules and your tedious way of life.

I despise you for dreaming up and enforcing rules such as these. Rules that make people shake with anger and seek solace in the arms of truly unsavoury folk.

I despise you for making this man feel guilty about taking pride in his own country.

I despise you for presuming to tell me what I can and cannot do. How dare you tell me that I cannot smoke or drink myself to an early grave. Should i wish to dine at McDonalds or mainline Class A drugs of an evening, that is my look out not yours. I care little for you, why do you care for me? Is it my health that concerns you or is it really the power to order me around?

I despise you for the destruction you have caused to Australia’s Aboriginal communities with your cradle-to-grave welfare and your paternalist condescension. But i despise you more for not having the guts to admit your appalling mistakes. And yet now you seek to impose this morally bankrupt creed on the rest of us.

I despise you for infantilising grown men, in particular the working class, the entire continent of Africa and our migrant communities. Kipling could not have been more proud of your adoption of his ‘White Man’s Burden’ mantra. Try for once treating adults as adults and you might be surprised at the results.

I despise organisations such as Oxfam, Greenpeace and the WWF, unelected institutions that seek to impose their nannying, dogmatic beliefs wherever they go, that do little more than provide gap-year jobs for the sons and daughters of middle class bankers and lawyers.

I despise you for trashing the good names of words such as ‘diversity’, ‘tolerance’, ‘respect’, ‘progress’, ‘charity’ and ‘community’. Words and concepts that have made this country such a magnet for others have now become little more than Orwellian IngSoc. ‘1984’ was written as a warning not a fucking instruction manual.

I despise you for your dishonest corruption of the environment - the single greatest gift to mankind. You have lied about its imminent demise, you have arrogantly presumed mankind is is to blame and that nature revolves around man, you have sown the seeds of guilt and doubt and made people turn and inform on one another. All in the name of a science that is as unproven as your fascism.

I despise you for presuming to know best how I should raise my children. Well, I treat my children to junk food, I let them watch TV and I discipline them for stepping out of line.

I despise your attempts to censor my right to speak, all in the name of not giving offence. Well, you offend me deeply, you mealy-mouthed jumped up middle class prick.

I despise you for your attempts to destroy families and communities all in the name of ‘progress’ and ‘change’. In business, they teach you not to try to fix what isn’t broken, but you wouldn’t know this, as the closest you have come to creating wealth is sucking the interest out of Daddy’s Trust Fund.

I despise you for your double standards and hypocrisy; you viciously attack and ridicule some Gods and Prophets whilst choosing to ignore the nihilistic actions of others.

I despise you for sowing doubt in the fields of right and wrong. ‘Thou shalt not kill’ or ‘’do no harm to your neighbour’ are universal morals, not cultural artefacts of a bygone era.

But most of all I despise you for carrying out these destructive, nihilistic actions in the name of progress, of the poor, of charity, of selflessness, of helping one’s neighbour, of doing one’s bit. No such moral reasons are in your thoughts. It is power that drives you, intereference that delights you and bossiness that appeals to you.

C.S.Lewis once remarked that ‘of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies’. How prophetic these words seem today.

So let me tell you, you Fairtrade-coffee drinking, tofu-munching goody-two-shoes, the single biggest problem facing the planet is not Global Poverty or Environmental Annihilation, nor is it No Child Left Behind, but your arrogance to presume to interfere and poke your beak into every aspect of my life, and the viciously smug puritanism of your totalitarian creed.

Now just bugger off and leave me alone. Pommy

[Frantzie]

Maybe they will start talking about Orly, Berg, Pidgeon, birth certificates and start getting serious about Der Mullah Fuerher.

[iopscusa]

Thanks ForGod’sSake, I appreciate you doing a proper post of this rant....the last line was from Pommy, wo I assume is an Aussie respondee from I think FR but I saved for use later when needed.

[ForGod'sSake]

No prob.

...the last line was from Pommy, wo I assume is an Aussie...

Sounds like it, or maybe a Kiwi???

Liberals have killed newspapers and broadcast television. Watch them kill radio, too.

[Grampa Dave]

“Destroys the currency, antagonizes trading partners, bans opposition, goes after weapons next: right out of the communist playbook.”

Many of my conservative friends and relatives including my wife don’t realized how dangerous Zer0 is and how fast he is moving to destroy our constitution and our form of government.

They fail to realize that when he and the rats control congress, executive branch, the Supremes afraid to do anything, abd with the Mediots in his pockets. He is more dangerous to America than FDRI was.

[little jeremiah]

His plan is to ensure total ruination of this country. He is not just a “regular” liberal. If Repubs do not fight him tooth and nail, which they won’t, it will require extraordinary action to undo the damage. What kind? I don’t know.

Mass civil disobedience? 50 million people camped out in DC? Millions of people refusing to pay taxes? Divine intervention? I wish I knew.

[FreedBird]

Obama was elected Dictator of the U.S. He does not want people to question his authority.

[Chickensoup]

The Correct Conservative Term is: “Censorship Doctrine.”

Thank you.

[EdReform]

You’re welcome! And Thank YOU for posting it!

Thanks null and void.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

If this happens, Rush will just go to Satellite radio like Stearns did.

It will only put those struggling AM radio stations completely under. This will be like the digital signal for regular free television.

Conservatives will go to XM, etc, like many already have. I like it better and wish that Rush had already done that. The signal is flawless and can be listened to from coast to coast without interruption.

[GOPJ]

If they take away the voice of talk radio, can violence be far behind?

On the up side, if there's massive violence, you won't have to hear about it. The MSM will yawn and our guys will all be "quieted". Are you charmed yet?

[Nachum]

Well, on the upside, satellite radio will let me hear a lot of good sportscasts nationwide.

[BIGLOOK]

I'm sure the 'Fairness Doctrine Redux will be floored by someone or some caucus in the House and Nancy Pelosi will deny debate to Republicans under new rules. It'll pass.

In the Senate, former Limbaugh attacker Harry Reid will forward the bill to the floor with a vengeance and several Rhinos will allow cloture.....the vote to restore passes.

Obama will sign it into law before the MSM cameras and make a speech....goobledy gook and trifles...giving hope to the NYT and MSNBC that change is here.

SCOTUS will hear cases and declare the new law unconstitutional. Then we'll do it again next year.

[Republic]

Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! GOOD RANT!!

[ForGod'sSake]

Wow! GOOD RANT!!

Indeed! Amazing what words can do when delivered from a position of righteous indignation. Thanks really go to iopscusa who posted it first but it was pulled by the mods for some course language -- I presume.

Don't tell anybody but I, and the mods apparently, missed one "f" bomb. Can't win 'em all...

The “magic negro” has yet to feel the sting of REAL dissent.
No, no, no...anthropologically speaking he's the "magic mulatto". He simply can't be the "magic negro" 'cause he's half white.
IMO it irks him to no end that he isn't a true negro. He's caught between two cultures and tries to pander to both. He's only accepted as a negro because he has negroid features. If he had predominantly Caucasian features he would never be called a negro or black and he would be shunned, instead of praised, by the majority of America's blacks.
