I hope it will never happen... but if it does, I wonder who'll tell you about it?

I think he’s more likely to try to impose some kind of liability insurance on them to force them out of business that way.

Once they’re insured, near daily lawsuits from people claiming this or that offense will pick them apart.

Hmmm....finally my dream of becoming a pirate radio station operator may come to fruition, both as a broadcaster and a jammer.

Bring it on, I say, bring it on....

I would have a hard time working up one tear if the MSM that brought Obama to power, suddenly lost their means of spreading propaganda.

As for the network’s television shows, somehow I think we would survive.

But you have got to love the idea of this. The welfare class that supports Obama, would come unglued. They’d be demanding his impeachment in minutes.

Of course it is.

Wow. I did not realize that I woke up in some banana republic this morning. This is very scary stuff.

"Let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God [Exodus 18:21]. . . . If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted . . . If our government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws"…....Noah Webster, ‘The History of the United States’

People blogging on the medium we’re using now, I guess...unless that creep Waxman makes the web his own personal fiefdom.

He confiscates the licenses and gives them to his fascist cronies, but the transmitters, studios, buildings and assorted equipments belong to those who now own the licenses. Start confiscating them and giving them to the new holders of the licenses and we are all in Venezuela, and in this Free Republic that’s not going to happen.

LOL. I just remembered the other day (after reading all these threads about this topic) I have an FCC license, from the days many years ago when I worked for radio stations.

Do you have this posted on a blog somewhere else? I’d like to post it to the message board of our local NYTimes owned paper, but don’t know if it will make if it comes from Freerepublic.

This article is not talking about losing the means to spread propaganda. It is suggesting such an action by the Obama crowd would result in significantly more propaganda as well as adoring praise for all things Obama and virulent denigration of anyone/thing slightly to the right of Abbey Hoffman.

Hope is for sissies.

Call, write, and email your reps and tell them YOU ARE AGAINST THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO LICENSING.

Forward this story, and any others like it that you see fit, to everyone you know. Encourage THEM to call, email, and write their representatives.

Action kicks hope’s ass every single time.
