SIGN THE PETITION TO DEFUND PBS AND NPR!!!!!

Defund PBS ^ | 12/28/02 | Sparta

[Sparta]

Please sign the petition to eliminate the liberal propaganda outlet known as PBS and make Bill Moyers and the other liberal shrills get real jobs. It has been long past time to defund these government media outlets.

[Bella_Bru]

Ok, we agree then on that. ;-) Happy new year!

[Sparta]

Happy New Year to you too.

And remember:

COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM=SOCIALISM

[Jakenuts]

That is an interesting point, though I don't exactly catch what liberal agenda Barney is aspousing these days.

What about that 11% of voters (on the front page) that oppose the Iraq war, should their money be spent funding the overtly political viewpoint we're sending into Iraq painted on the sides of GBU's and cruise missles?

The government is always going to put its money into things that you may or may not agree with, that doesn't make them wrong. How could it operate if each dollar was limited to apolitical uses? Seems like you'd do better to de-politicize NPR commentary rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

[Sparta]

I just don't think the government should be in the business of funding media outlets. Where in the Constitution does it say PBS and NPR are legal?

[MattinNJ]

Defunding the liberals propaganda machine BTTT.

[Jakenuts]

True, though you have your hands full if your intention is to try to limit the government to its appointed tasks (ummm.. interstate regulation, not much else).

Well, I'll let you get back to it. Sure hope Nova is around when you're all finished though.

Have a nice New Years.

[Sparta]

It will be picked up by a cable network.

Happy New Year to you too.

[Sparta]

Thank you signing. I know this is impossible, but how many more signatures can you get from the People's Republic of New Jersey?

[MoJoWork_n]

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

Not everyone has or wants cable or a dish. If you use the free broadcast networks as the yardstick, PBS starts to look pretty good. Especially for kids programming.

[Sparta]

There are now broadcast family friendly stations. If there weren't, why am I obligated to fund a government family friendly station?

[JimRed]

The bad news- apparently DU is DUhhhing heavily; since #649 about 90% of the sigs have been removed as invailid.

This needs some serious Freeping!

[JimRed]

It looks too much like you've just deleted everyone who doesn't agree with you...

When you disagree with a petition, you DON'T SIGN IT!

[blackie]

"THE DU trolls are at it again!"

The RAT'S days are numbered, it 's an act of desperation!

Be Well - Be Armed - Be Safe - Molon Labe!

You and people of your ilk just don't understand truth, honesty or courtesy. It has nothing to do with disagreeing with their leftist ideologies, it has to do with vulgar, rude, crude, psychologically sick and evil comments.

[Bella_Bru]

Zip, we have done a number on their petitions before, so we really have no moral ground on this one.

[Sparta]

Petition needs help. DU attacked yesterday.

Defund PBS and NPR

[Maedhros]

I like my public radio station's music. I'm not signing.

[Sparta]

Fine.

[Maedhros]

I do however disagree with them getting gov't dough.

[Sparta]

That's all I'm trying to take away.
