Joan Ryan is a Left Coast bimbette who's really lost it. Gee the truth hurts huh? Calling into Rush Limbaugh is liable to leave you vulnerable to being converted. No wonder Leftists hate talk radio.

Like all totalitarians, Joan equates criticism and opposition with the stifling of dissent. Since nobody has the right to stifle dissent, the real purpose of this "Amendment X" nonsense is to silence criticism and opposition, that is, to do the very thing the totalitarians pretend to condemn. Two generations of Americans have been brainwashed to believe in "Amendment X", the right of leftists to be free from opposition and criticism*. Out here in the hinterland, typical pop-culture lefties and retro-reds may not know Che Guevara from Chico Marx, but they will invoke their right of free expression as an automatic response to criticism, necessarily implying that their rights have been attacked. These people, all of them, literally believe that other points of view are criminal and should not be expressed. It is what defines them. Why else do they invariably equate opposition with a violation of their rights; that is, with a common-law crime?

The left is evil, folks, the spawn of Satan. I use words for a living and I used to be a lefty, but I still cannot find adequate terms to express my disgust with these murderous swine and their calculated arrogance.

*Amendment X also grants lefties the right to an audience and the right to be taken seriously.

Great Post!

The lefties tend to become hopelessly tangled in their metaphors when they are out of power.

The real odd thing is that having preached it and demanded it, and for so long ENFORCED it on everyone, they havent learned tolerance.

Their dilemma stems from the fact that we have heard, understood, and Rejected their message. Thats why there are so many 'right wing' talk show hosts 'polluting' the airwaves. It seems that 'Amendment X' not only demands their right to speak, and not only their right to be heard, IT ALSO DEMANDS THEIR RIGHT TO BE OBEYED.

Im glad these people are no longer in power.

Thank you for putting this up. I sent this woman the following response:

Dear Ms. Ryan,

Allow me to introduce myself. I am one of the "halfwits in headsets" you condemn so roundly. I am also a civil rights attorney who practices in the US Supreme Court, and a radio talk show participant who has been on-air at least weekly, for seven years.

I invite you to come on-air with me out of Boston, and face my audience with your views. I offer a return match, to go on-air with you on the station of your choice in San Francisco, and face your audience with my views.

I believe in the First Amendment. It is my specialty in the Supreme Court. If you also believe in the First Amendment, you will accept my offer.

I look forward to your reply.

J. Armor, Esq.
(known on the Internet as the (More er Less) Honorable Congressman Billybob)

(828) 526-3149

I'll let y'all know if I get a response from this person.

Yes, I am angry that they're trying to undermine my country's most cherished ideals"...

Oh, you're angry you leftist b!t%h, someone is undermining your country's cherished ideals?? What country would that be? The Soviet Union?

I am angry with you and your fellow travelers and your best efforts to undermine MY country's most cherished ideals!!!

The breakdown of the American family with your Jane has 2 mommies crap, Jack has 2 daddies and my brother was aborted before my mom went off to war while dad stayed home with us feminazi policies!!

The raping of my economic liberty by an unconstitutional progressive AKA communist income tax system. The stealing from my pocket to give to your worthless comrades who refuse to take responsibility for their own actions.

The attempt to take away my ability to defend my family and neighbors against the state. You would prefer that I give up my freedom to the police state that you intend to create.

The degrading of my country's ability to defend itself, to intercept and defeat would be terrorists coming into my country. Your politically correct, multicultural, moral equality is responsible for the attacks on MY country on September 11th. The blood of 3,000 innocent Americans are on your hands!!

I am angry with you and your comrades. Your views are in direct contradiction to MY country's true cherished ideals...LIFE LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS!!!

OH YEAH! HOW COULD I FORGET? What happened to that limosine liberal who said he was going to front $10 million for a left-wing talk radio station? I remember he was on Hannity a few months back. Sean said he'd be ready to go head to head ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

Well, we're all ears and we're still waiting for the liberal Rush Limbaugh...

Folks,

I got a reply from Joan Ryan to my challenge (post #64) for a home and away series on talk radio. Here it is:

"thanks for your kind invitation. since i have never heard your show, i can't say i was writing about you. all best, joan"

Now, let's translate. 1) She attacked everyone in talk radio on the conservative side as "halfwits with headsets" whether she's heard them or not, but says she doesn't mean me because she "hasn't heard my show." And 2) she refers to my invitation as "kind," but she DOESN'T accept it.

What are we to make of this? I think she's a hit and run lefty, and is afraid to go on-air with a capable guy like a well-prepared and experienced Freeper. Seems that Ms. Ryan's game is to take a cheap shot and then run for the hills. Is that the name of that tune?
