John Boehner (Ohio), who could be House speaker next year, said that "it's reasonable" to examine federal subsidies for NPR

For God's sake grow a pair John and instead call for the END of subsidies...

...don't go RINO anymore...

TAKE A STAND

I don’t want federal funding of NPR investigated; I want it terminated. Cut them off and NPR will still exist, but let the liberals, not me, pay for it.

I believe we said “eliminated” not “examined.”

[SeekAndFind]

It looks like the NPR CAN survive WITHOUT government help.

LET THEM FEND FOR THEMSELVES.

... Boehner told the conservative National Review. "Washington is borrowing 37 cents of every dollar it spends..."

The British announced drastic 19% cuts to their budget. Amazingly, it would take double of that to balance the American budget. Boehner should begin preparing Americans for what can't be put off any longer. A little 1% nibble isn't going to do it.

Gingrich, who was the top House lawmaker from 1994-1998, said that Congress should investigate NPR and consider cutting its funding.

“The U.S. Congress should investigate NPR and consider cutting off its money,” he said on Fox News, calling the incident “a total act of censorship.”

Consider? CONSIDER!?

SCREW “consider” ... CUT THE DAMN FUNDING... NOW!

End NPR’s non-profit status... NOW!

TERMINATE NPR’s broadcast license... NOW!

Newt Gingrich is such a pathetic, pansie-ass chump. He’s got no balls. Just another moderate RINO pretending to be a conservative... and this sort of middle-of-the-road response proves it.

Three potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates chimed in Thursday on the firing of NPR news analyst Juan Williams, with two of them calling on Congress to scrutinize NPR's federal funding.

"Scrutinize"? Hell, taxpayer funding should be totally eliminated!

[Repeal The 17th]

“Three potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates...
Sarah Palin; Mike Huckabee; and Newt Gingrich...”
-
I have a lot of admiration for Newt, but he IS NOT a potential candidate.

[TCH]

How much of the money contributed by businesses and foundations is TAX DEDUCTIBLE?

END THE TAX DEDUCTION, and watch the contribution dry up. If we are going to kill this vulture, then let’s rip its damn heart out by the roots, and stomp it into pulp!

Pull the plug on NPR, let them compete in the market for advertisers or donations. Without government subsidies NPR will disappear.

While an offense to the ideal of separation of press and state, federal funding for NPR is peanuts. Google NPR stations universities. The support these leftist propagandist receives via state funded higher education is staggering.

[Ouderkirk]

forget ending funding....SHUT IT DOWN.

National Peoples Revolutionary Broadcasting......time to kill it.

This hilarious.. Juan Williams a left winger that carrys water for the left wing democrat machine daily.. is savaged by them.. And all the sound bites about him are exposing the left probably against his will.. He surely knows the left is taking it in the butt... His whole ideological stand is getting exposed and dragged thru the streets..

The left is taking a shoe up the butt... big time.. That means Juan Williams is taking it in the BUTT... All the effort to support Williams is exposing him as a supporter of TYRANTS... poor guy.. O'Really will go over tonight too I suspect..

Williams, the far left sympathizer, is exposing the left beyond himself.. Surely he is smart enough to know this is happening.. Maybe not.. maybe he is stupid..

After all 97% of black voters voted for Barry Half-White..
Merely 3% were SMART...

Remember Republicans, this isn’t 1994. We’re going to put you in office, and then you are going to work for more than the first 100 days and then go RINO. So you can call for examining the funding all you want now, but come January, you will be expected to actually do it.

[jivin gene]

Well put. Stupid is as stupid does. Problem is, it was the stupid segment of the other 90 percent of the population of this country that really put that slug into our most sacred office.

[Theodore R.]

Republicans rarely speak up when one of their own is treated unfairly, but they are quick to defende Democrats in such situations.

[Grizzled Bear]

House Republican Leader John Boehner (Ohio), who could be House speaker next year, said that "it's reasonable" to examine federal subsidies for NPR, which he called a "left-wing radio network."

Hey you GOP sissies, any wonder why Conservatives are abandoning you for the TEA Party?

Man up! Start by peeing while standing. Once you manage that, report back for further instructions!
