Good boy..yes..that's a gooooood boy! :D

Interesting note on the doctrine. In 1987, Helmes and Gingrich were on board in a bipartisan effort to make the doctrine federal law. Reagan vetoed the bill. I haven't discovered why they supported it at that time, and only speculate that they didn't feel conservatives were getting equal...

LOL. Bigdave, that is a hilarious line. I will have to save that one. You've made my night. :D :D On that one, I'm outa here. Congrats to the Obama supporters. Maybe the fact that this one wasn't close will end the angst of the last two close ones. Peace

Do you mean in the suburbs, or the ghetto? I have lived 75% of my life in urban areas and it did not change how I feel. The arrogance of some of the educated is why there will always be a divide. Some of the smartest people I've ever known are the dumbest fuckers alive outside of...

One possibility is there are more people dependent on gov in urban areas. Many, myself included, are more than content to live our lives dependent on our own abilities, and not have individuals who happen to have more education tell us they know better how to run our lives than we do. This...

I won't debate you on the reasons for hatred, I'm just saying there is plenty on each side, and each side can find reasons to justify it, percieved or real. I personally believe man's ultimate goal is to destroy himself. I believe there will always be hate. As long as man is compelled...

Take off those blinders and look at the rabid hatred on the left. Just 1 example. The incredible level of hatred for Bush. As far as I can tell, there is ample hatred on both sides. Where does the left's hatred come?

The fairness doctrine will be brought back for 1 reason. To end conservative talk radio. It will force equal time be given for liberal shows which no one listens to. That will encourage the station owners to drop all talkies, thereby shutting down the opinion journalists of the right. It...

I totally agree with you and Z when talking about private venues. If a campaign plane is considered a private venue, I stand corrected.

I will agree with you on this point. The info is out there for those who are interested enough to look, and to those who have access. As more people realize that they need to dig to get the truth the MSM will fade into the sunset, as it should. In my opinion, the MSM has failed the people...

So you don't have a problem with media outlets that might be critical being removed from venues to make room for those that are favorable to a candidate, or a president, etc? I guess it's ok if it's media that you happen to agree with. That's how it starts.

I would like to add a few points. First, you made a choice to give the 5 dollars to someone who needs it. The gov didn't make that choice for you. Second, you did not set up an inefficient bureaucracy to decide who gets your 5 dollars, or what's left of it after the established...

I would seriously consider a vote for someone like Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams if they were to run. I think it's a pretty safe bet many libs have a special name for such African Americans.

I read those posts and commented on a few. They were very interesting. I guess my question would be, and forgive me if I asked you this previously, but how do we get the government or other powers on board? Where do we start? What are their incentives? Specifically those that would...

Well said. Unfortunately regulation is required to keep it in check. But when the regulators fail, greater regulations are needed. And in the end, those who do not fall into the categories you listed will be affected by the regulations needed for those who do. Getting an open audit as...

The republicans need to take the next 4 years and clean house. Really clean house. They need to define who they are, and act like they know who they are. Especially fiscal responsibility. They have failed their supporters repeatedly and now reap the rewards.

How can we get more balance into print media (omitting opinion journalism, of course)?

Actaully, wasn't there a time the goal was to get more conservative voices involved (fairness doctrine)?

You'll see such a rule shortly. It won't make a difference, unless it truly is fair.

I think it is more important now because we may be running short on checks and balances in the next cycle of government. A biased media will not be a reasonable check. The article confirms points I have made in the past regarding the mainstream (unless you just don't believe the author)...
