HALLELUJAH!
But there are still those in congress who wish to silence those who speak for our freedom, so we must be ever vigilant.
But this isn’t over. Is it?
No, of course not. They’ll be back.
And this Obey is helping to run things in Congress? He doesn’t have a clue.
-—Oh — wait — he’s part of the gov’t, isn’t he!
So much better than a bloody revolution.
But what do i do with all this tar and feathers now? Craigslist?
Man talk about a black day for the left!
Good. I hope that the Democrats finally realise that even when they’re in the majority, they’re still the minority. Maybe the next time the Republicans control Congress, the Dems will think twice before prefacing their stupid policy proposals with the words “The American people want...”.
Dick Durbin before he dicks us.
No way. Larry King isn't interviewing Rush or Sean. And Oprah is likely lining up a Paris interview as well.
They're (ir)rationalizing that just because it was enacted in 1929 and let expire in 1988 that somehow it's got enough "street cred" to justify its resurrection.
Like the McKennedy Destroy-America-via-Shamnesty Bill, the F.D. is a dumb idea. I guess that's why liberals are so enamored with it; like the battered wife in love with a scumbag husband, dhimmocrats just can't let go.
Any time this is brought up, the conservatives need to suggest that this will be done at exactly the same time that there is a fairness docrtine instated for all other forms of media, including hollywood movies, tv shows & “the news”. And schools.
Would that be the same George Bush who signed that abomination to the First Amendment, Campaign Finance Reform?
The same George Bush who just saw his pet amnesty bill shot down, in large part because of talk radio?
George Bush is a Republican, he's not a conservative. I certainly wouldn't take it for granted he's against the Fairness Doctrine.
Seems like Washington perks for liberal Congressmen are more interesting than Paris Hilton, too.
If you replaced Obey with Paris Hilton, no one outside of Congress would notice the difference.
You know... I thought Democrats supported Freedom of Speech??? Oh, yeah, I forgot... not when it interferes with their SOCIALIST AGENDA, or it comes to views that are in contrast to their delusions. This is totally in line with those over on DU who were praising Chavez for shutting down the TV stations and beating college students who had the gall to protest for freedom of speech...
If they tried to institute the so-called “fairness” doctrine upon the mass media (TV or Papers), you can bet it wouldn’t get far at all, and any sponsors of such legislation would be facing recall actions in a heartbeat...
Censorship of any sort by the government is not ‘fair’ at all, and shame on those Representatives on both sides of the aisles who believe the government should be doing so. MORE speech helps the debate on any issue, not less, and not some so-called ‘fairness’ rule that completely ignores that there may be more than 2 sides to an argument, or more than 2 offered solutions (not all things in this country can be split down the middle or fall into a two-party division).
Thank the Lord we won 2 battles today that for the moment preserve our Republic...
