Although I agree with your opinion of the left, your criticism of a good American is completely off base.

You aren't employing your critical thinking skills. This man clearly watches public television and listens to NPR. He finds them valuable and worthy of his financial support. That qualifies him as a liberal right there. That he could listen to that agenda for years, and NOT understand where it goes, is totally idiotic. He may be a humane individual, but that he supports socialism with his money, does not make him a good American.

And you are? Read and learn...

That isn't substantiated by the article. You don't seem to be the sort of person who has ever run a business. If you were, you would know that advertising isn't something you do based on political ideology. Your money isn't going to "support" an organization. You are spending your money to get the word out about your own goods and services. I would argue exactly the opposite to your own reasoning. In my business (financial planning), my best demographic is the Rush Limbaugh show and talk radio in general. I have advertised there. If I had more money to spend on advertising, there is a large population of my local neighbors who regularly listen to NPR. I'm not "supporting" them with advertising dollars, I'm reaching out to another segment of the population that may not listen to conservative talk radio and therefore haven't heard my ad. That's good marketing. Ignoring your customers simply because you disagree with their political philosophy is business suicide and patently unAmerican.

No, what makes him a good American is the fact that he is a dentist who seeks to expand his business, employ his neighbors and fosters a better community through a capitalist outreach and trickle-down economics. I'm sure he's very patriotic since he's obviously disgusted that his local PUBLIC station censors him and he is fighting back. You, on the other hand, are criticizing him for a background you do not know in market conditions you don't understand with insults that are more a product of image projection than reality.
