Woh, that seems like a real waste of energy. NPR is a great service and is probably one of the least biased news outlets in our country. They might play alot of wacky music, and visit some wetlands once in a while, but on the whole just because they think doesn't make them some sort of vast left wing conspiracy. It's important to keep some voices of disent or introspection in all the one-sided yelling and marching. Silence every voice that doesn't toe your line and you've bought a nice new facist state for Christmas.

Case in point, I voice dissent and you offer to ban me.

I've been a member here a WHOLE lot longer than you and obviously have a bit more respect for the concept of intelligent debate. I'd suggest Jim R. would agree.

Sparta, one post by someone who has been a member since 98 is not probably not going to get them banned. Unless you have been here longer, under a different name, and then you might be the opne with a problem.

If Jakenuts doesn't like the petition, he doesn't have to sign. I like PBS. No, I don't think it should receive federal money. But, then again, I am also against the faith based initiatives thing too. I don't want the LEFT or the RIGHT taking money out of my pocket for their pet projects.

Cheers Bella, much appreciated.

I'd also point out that on the 'Iraq War' poll, there appear to be 11% voting against (I don't happen to be one of them). As any response but the one you would like is clearly an indication of leftists, nay, communist leanings, I suggest you've got quite a number of ban-requests to type up.

Have a nice New Years!

"Silence every voice that doesn't toe your line and you've bought a nice new facist state for Christmas."

That's what I have a problem with.

How would you define a facist state apart from its tendancy to eliminate any voices that disagree with its primary objectives? Defund PBS, and say goodbye to Sesame Street, Front Line, Nova because some otherwise outstanding content is simply not profitable enough to survive against Baywatch and The Bachelor. It might not be your intended outcome to eliminate the only educational and thoughtful programming on television, but it will certainly be the result. All because NPR doesn't sound like Bill O'Reilly. Thats a shame.

I'm seeing a lot of these:

false entry voided

I wonder if used to be liberal wankers who were doing the same thing we did earlier to the "Disarm Secret US Military Sites" petition.

Government shouldn't fund ANY political viewpoint. If you want Sesame Street and Barney, you pay the cost of production. Don't ask me or anyone else who doesn't want to watch it or advertise on it to do so.

Yep. And leaving obsene attacks on JimRob, President Bush, FReeepers in general, and other conservatives. The attacks were truly disgusting.

"only educational and thoughtful programming on television"

What do you call A&E, History Channel, Discovery Networks, and Bravo? Trailer park TV?
