The liberal who will decide that your local talk radio station isn’t “diverse enough” so he can deny it a license.

I would feel much better if I saw a letter coming from Grassley to Harry Reid asking when they were going to pass a bill eliminating all Czars and reinstating their oversight duties to the country.

They will change the name but the idea is the same. Shut down opposition in the media. That means talk radio because most of the rest of the media is lefty liberal nuts.

This is dangerous and needs to be stopped. Talk radio should be allowed to exist next to all the liberal media outlets supported by Dems — NBC, CNN, PBS, CBS, ABC.

Diversity my large rear end. This is about shutting down the truth.

mostly all white mc mansions, or mostly white gated communities or areas.

Have you ever listened to the old National Lampoon album Radio Dinner?

They did a hilarious song (in which Diana Reed did a superb imitation of Joan Baez) titled "Pull the Tregroes Negroes" that perfectly illustrates the type.

My comment is not my own. The concept is but a tiny portion of Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, Chapter XI, “The End of Truth.”

USSR had a political officer on every military ship and every business.......

...and the Chinese took that to the next level, with 10 bureaucrats for each productive worker at a business/factory/plant. and at least half of those bureaucrats were 'Party members'. Amazingly, some elder workers still remained in the 80s who were educated in the USA in the 40s (before the commies). These were the proverbial 'go to' knowledgeables ...the one good thing about China is they still respect the 'elders'...in any situation. Nothing like the USA! 'Course they didn't have to deal with much 'diversity' since they're 90% Han.

“Lloyd is virulently anti-conservative, anti-capitalist, almost myopically racially fixated and exuberantly pro-regulation.” That pretty much describes every person Obama has appointed to office(or ever associated with in his life!).

methinks you've abstracted the Obama Legacy in 2 sentences!

Diversity training surfaced in the 70’s....not many of us made it thru our careers without some ‘diversity training/reeducation’. Musta been a Carter Legacy, and just as successful as his deposing the Shah of Iran, handing over the Panama Canal to the Chinese, his economic policies, his emasculation of the CIA, military, and Dept of State, etc, etc, etc. As for myself, never had any diversity training (I can still tie my own shoe laces, too)....so my file was probably full of such ‘grievances’ that may imply.

“What is a chief diversity officer?”

“Don’t turn around, look, look,
the Kommissar is out and about!
He’ll keep his eye on you
and you know why.”...

In order to succeed, Totalitarians must silence all opposition.

Which has resulted in disastrous consequences EVERY time its been tried ... for EVERYONE involved ... even for the totalitarianists themselves ....

When will they ever learn?
