The thing that would get Rush yanked isn't his political speech, but comments on culture. He's simply more likely to cross the line there before political speech gets outlawed.

I'm just dumbstruck that that wouldn't bother you in the least. I guess Rush better shut his big fat trap about cultural issues before the government rightly shuts him down.

For the children.

:::sigh::: Please show me where I said this was ok. If Rush wants to start talking graphically about sex on his program, then he should be bleeped (by his channel so as to avoid a fine). There will be times that as a news story (Lewinsky, anyone) that a full airing of the issue might lead to sexual content. It's a fine line, I admit. But as news I think it should be allowed. THAT will become a court issue.

I admit to being torn on this issue. In a perfect world people wouldn't want garbage all over. They do. So, do I simply have to accept garbage? Not as long as I have a say in this government "of the people, by the people, for the people".

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Be louder than me and my influence will fade away. That is how our system works. If 60% of the people thought cold blooded murder was ok, you think it wouldn't become legal?
