Unfairness Doctrine

Renewed calls for restoration of the  'fairness doctrine'  & the LibTard chorus chanting the mantra of   'civility' followed the  recent  Arizona Massacre as flowers follow a spring rain.   Blood is the natural fertilizer of  idiotic demands for tyranny.

    The heinous act was not solicited, prompted or suggested by 'extremists' shouting 'hate filled' rants on talk radio. It was not related to the recent political campaign season.  It was the independent act  of a lone gunman acting out his own fantasy.  Local law enforcement had several opportunities to prevent the slaughter. Now they cover their incompetence & misfeasance by falsely assigning blame to others who had nothing to do with the affair.

    Remember Shrub's 'new tone in Washington' ?  It was a single flute drowned out by dozens of braying jackasses.  'Chimpy McBush', 'Bush lied and thousands died'  etc.  There were a book and a movie about assassinating Shrub, both celebrated by the left.  Then there was Dan Rather's infamous attack with spurious documents. 

    Does anyone remember a famous actor ranting about wanting to stone Congressman Henry Hyde to death?  Where was the outpouring of outrage over that blood thirsty rant?   There was note, because this issue is all one sided. 

    Hannity, Levin & Limbaugh spent several days replaying sound bytes of outrageous statements by president Obama and his cronies.  Those sound bytes fall on deaf ears. 
   
    The LibTards are determined to squelch opposition voices.  They don't want tone control or volume control, they want content control.  Their demand is 180° out of phase with the First Amendment.  Political speech must be protected speech because representative government requires the adversary process of debate.

    If they can't get their way in the legislature or the courts, they will turn to regulation by fiat.  Thus we have the FCC's recent 'net neutrality' ruling.  Ostensibly about preventing internet service providers from throttling competitor's content, it is really about content control and raising revenue.  Incrementally, little by little, they will  expand the rules to regulate content.  At the same time they will impose fees to 'cover the cost' of enforcing the rules. 

Unfairness Doctrine Revisited

An article published on World Net Daily brought an old issue back to the front burner. That article discusses the attitude of Mark Lloyd, recently appointed "chief diversity officer" for the Federal Communications Commission. The article mentions Lloyd's participation in the creation of a report published by the Center for American Progress, which WND describes as "George Soros-funded", indicating a left wing bias. Indeed, the Center describes itself as "progressive", which is a standard code word for Socialist.

The Center for American Progress report, "The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio" discusses the "Imbalance" in talk radio programming. Their attitude holds talk radio to be unfairly dominated by Conservative talk show hosts; they seed ways and means of increasing the number and proportion of Socialist talk show hosts and broadcast hours.

The authors assert that the "Fairness Doctrine" was not repealed.

First, from a regulatory perspective, the Fairness Doctrine was never formally repealed. The FCC did announce in 1987 that it would no longer enforce certain regulations under the umbrella of the Fairness Doctrine, and in 1989 a circuit court upheld the FCC decision. ¹¹ The Supreme Court, however, has never overruled the cases that authorized the FCC’s enforcement of the Fairness Doctrine. Many legal experts argue that the FCC has the authority to enforce it again—thus it technically would not be considered repealed.¹²

Simply reinstating the Fairness Doctrine will do little to address the gap between conservative and progressive talk unless the underlying elements of the public trustee doctrine are enforced, in particular, the requirements of local accountability and the reasonable airing of important matters.

License renewal previously required local engagement with the community—the solicitation of local feedback on programming and accountable public reporting of this input so that the FCC could determine if the broadcaster was upholding its public interest responsibilities. Now licenses are renewed by “postcard,” a stamp in the corner of a scrap of paper now substitutes for all of the local interaction, very little of which is still required by law. Without these policies fostering local responsiveness, the move toward lowest common denominator syndicated programming was facilitated.

While the authors assert that they do not seek to reduce the number of Conservative talk shows, they seek to increase the number of Socialist talk shows. With a limited number of hours in the day and broadcast stations in each market area, this is a zero sum game. Increasing the availability of one side must reduce the other unless some other programming option is reduced.

My position is that broadcast content should be determined by the market place, not by government fiat, either direct or filtered through semi captive advocacy groups.

The print media are dominated by the left wing. Broadcast television is dominated by the left wing. Cable television is dominated by the left wing. NPR is dominated by the left wing. Conservative talk radio is the alternative information & opinion source for Conservatives who are fed up with the free flowing lies and dripping venom offered up by the other media outlets.

The regional talk radio outlet tried Chuck Harder's show, it was not popular. They replaced it with Jim Hightower, who was not popular. Michael Medved lasted a little longer, but was replaced. Larry King was not popular and was replaced. Dr. Laura did not last long either. Likewise Bill O'Reiley. Steve Malzburg is on taped delay Sunday nights. Rush Limbaugh & Sean Hannity get three hours and Mark Levin is cleanup hitter for two hours.

In a free market, we listeners get what we want in the long term. Setting up minority groups to dictate what we can hear is an end run around the First Amendment. The right to speak implies an equally important right to listen.

This poorly camouflaged attempt to shield President Obama and his allies in Congress from truthful criticism must not be allowed to succeed. Send emails to your Representative & Senators demanding preservation of your right to listen!

Why Free Speech & Why Not

I received an email titled "Properly Understanding The Times - Part 2" from Act! for America. If you haven't joined yet, you can read the article by clicking the title above.

In the article, Guy Rodgers points out the risk inherent in tolerating relatively minor impositions against liberty. Islam's demand for censorship though national & international imposition of its blasphemy law is one such imposition which threatens our freedom of expression. He illustrates his point with mention of an Austrian M.P. recently prosecuted & convicted of "hate speech" and the pending prosecution of Geert Wilders, Dutch M.P. He shows us that the issue is not novel, with a censorship anecdote more than 200 years old.

Rodgers follows up by reproducing Andrew Bostom's article: "Wilders' Defense of Free Speech". Dr. Bostom goes into some detail concerning the accuracy of Wilders' citation of the Qur'an.

The Organization of the Islamic Conference is pressing for censorship in the U.N. and its append ant bodies. Recent resolutions by the General Assembly & Human Rights Council demand global imposition of Islam's blasphemy laws. That demand is echoed in the Durban II Draft Document.

What consequences would ensue from criminalizing criticism of Nazism before and during the Second World War or Communism at the peak of the Cold War? Accurately identifying and characterizing our enemy is vitally necessary to preparing and executing defense against aggression.

In a representative republic, the electors need to be free to hold open and honest discussion of all facets of current officials, aspirants to high office and their legislative programs. The Democrat Party seeks, through re-imposition of the 'fairness doctrine', 'ownership diversity' and 'community advisory boards' to intimidate broadcasters so that Conservative talk radio hosts will be silenced.

In an article entitled "Why Freedom of Speech?" Baron Bodissey reminds me of a statement by President Barack Hussein Obama in his first international television interview.

Quoted, from msnbc out of context, emphasis added.

Now, my job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect. I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries.

The largest one, Indonesia. And so what I want to communicate is the fact that in all my travels throughout the Muslim world, what I've come to understand is that regardless of your faith -- and America is a country of Muslims, Jews, Christians, non-believers -- regardless of your faith, people all have certain common hopes and common dreams.

And my job is to communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives.

The highlighted expression indicates to this writer that President Obama is in sympathy with the OIC campaign of censorship. It raises severe doubts concerning his supposed withdrawal from the preparations for the U.N. Racism Conference because objections to proposed censorship were cited as one reason for pulling out. The remainder of the excerpt would give the impression that Islam is, as President George W. Bush described it, a 'religion of peace'. In actual fact, it is a war cult. For documented proof of that fatal fact, download and read Know Thine Enemy.chm.

By reading the U.N. resolutions linked above, you can discover how the O.I.C. couches its demands in terms of 'respect' for sanctities and association of Islam with terrorism & violence. By reading the appropriate sections of Shari'ah, you can discover the law they intend to impose. These quotes are from Umdat as-Salik, Book O. [Enter the reference letter & numbers in the search engine in the frame surrounding the text image to locate the text for further exploration. ]

O8.7: Acts that Entail Leaving Islam...
-4- to revile Allah or His messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace);

-5- to deny the existence of Allah, His beginingless eternality, His endless eternality, or to deny any of His attributes which the consensus of Muslims ascribes to Him (dis: v1);

-6- to be sarcastic about Allah's name, His command, His interdiction, His promise, or His threat;

-7- to deny any verse of the Koran or anything which by scholarly consensus (def: b7) belongs to it, or to add a verse that does belong to it;

-16- to revile the religion of Islam;

Those are acts of apostasy, punishable by death, prescribed in this statement.

O8.1

When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.

O8.2

In such a case, it is obligatory for the caliph (A: or his representive) to ask him to repent and return to Islam. If he does, it is accepted from him, but if he refuses, he is immediately killed.

Dhimmis, conquered Jews,Christians & Zoroastrians submitted under a 'treaty of protection' suffer a similar imposition.

Chapter O11.0: Non-Muslim Subjects of the Islamic State (Ahl Al-Dhimma)

O11.5

Such non-Muslim subjects are obliged to comply with Islamic rules that pertain to the safety and indemnity of life, reputation, and property. In addition, they:

-6- are forbidden to openly display wine or pork, (A: to ring church bells or display crosses,) recite the Torah or Evangel aloud, or make public display of their funerals and feastdays;

-7- and are forbidden to build new churches.

O11.10

The agreement is also violated (A: with respect to the offender alone) if the state has stipulated that any of the following things break it, and one of the subjects does so anyway, though if the state has not stipulated that these break the agreement, then they do not; namely, if one of the subject people:

-5- or mentions something impermissible about Allah, the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), or Islam.

O11.11

When a subject's agreement with the state has been violated, the caliph chooses between the four alternatives mentioned above in connection with prisoners of war (o9.14).

O9.14

When an adult male is taken captive, the caliph (def: o25) considers the interests (O: of Islam and the Muslims) and decides between the prisoner's death, slavery, release without paying anything, or ransoming himself in exchange for money or for a Muslim captive held by the enemy.

If the enormity of that has not sunk in, re-read the portions I emphasized until it does. A dhimmi may be killed for criticizing Islam. Like it or not, that is Islamic law, which the O.I.C & President Obama seek to impose upon us. Respect is given where respect is due; not to a war cult. If you don't understand that Islam is a war cult, read O9.1 through O10.3.

Unfairness Doctrine: Temporary Setback

"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech. " Benjamin Franklin [http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/ot-quotes.html#QFree]

"Without freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech." Benjamin Franklin [http://www.newspeakdictionary.com/ot-quotes.html#QFree]

From News Max comes word that Senator Jim DeMint's Broadcaster Freedom Act passed the Senate 87-11 as an amendment to an unrelated bill giving a voting representative to Washington D.C. Senator Dick Durbin's Ownership Diversity amendment also passed 57-41.

The Socialists seek to squelch dissent, to silence dissenting voices by imposing economic penalties, denial of licensing, "local advisory" boards or restrictions on broadcast station ownership.

If they can restore "equal time" requirements, forcing broadcast stations to waste air time on left wing radio shows that can not draw and retain audience share, the loss in revenue will force broadcasters to drop the more popular conservative shows.

If they can set limits on how many stations a corporation can own, and issue more licenses to "minority owners" who are presumed to be more Socialistic in their outlook, they hope to reduce the number of stations carrying the more popular conservative shows.

If they can force broadcasters to institute "local advisory" boards, stacked with left wingers, who will whine & caterwaul about airing conservative opinions, they will have another excuse to deny licenses to those broadcasters.

In every case, the objective is to penalize broadcasters who provide what we want to hear. The Socialists want to assure a monopoly for their agenda driven house organs which print and broadcast their propaganda on their schedule without asking critical questions to expose their incompetence & corruption.

In a Representative Republic, an informed electorate is necessary to ensure competence and fiduciary trust. In the long run, an informed electorate is necessary to assure the preservation of liberty and prosperity. The Socialists want a one sided debate; a monologue, not a Dialogue. Competent electors will recognize the fact that "just us" is not justice.

There is nothing fair about the so called Fairness Doctrine; it is the acme of unfairness. When broadcasters operate in a free market, listeners vote with their tuners. They seek out the stations and programs they want and ignore the rest. Broadcasters sink or swim by adjusting their programming according to consumer demand. Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin & Stabenow seek to defeat the market so as to cement their party in power forever.

Far from fairness, theirs is an Unfairness Doctrine; an unconstitutional imposition of censorship. In their Orwellian lexicon, fairness is anything that benefits them and disadvantages their critics and electoral opponents.

In their campaign to squelch dissent, they rely on a shibboleth which, if carefully examined, reveals their dishonesty & corruption. "Public Airwaves" is their favorite. When it comes to radio, there is no such thing. Radio is not dependent on air, it would work just as well in a vacuum. It works by modulating electromagnetic radiation: "radio waves" with with sound. The waves are locally generated, on demand, by oscillators, modulated and amplified, all with privately owned electronic equipment and powered by electricity which the broadcasters pay for. There is no public resource involved.

The FCC allocates frequencies and sets power limits to assure that broadcast stations do not interfere with or jam each other's signals. There is absolutely no rational basis for the unconstitutional censorship which the Socialists seek to impose upon their critics. The Socialists have a near total monopoly in the daily& monthly print media and in broadcast & cable television. A.M. radio is the one market they do not control, and they seek to monopolize it.

This issue is about content: they seek to stop speech which criticizes them, which questions their intentions, methods, policies, connections and effects. They don't want us to hear the truth about their associations and policies. They would muzzle the guard dog and silence the canary in the coal mine.

Make no mistake, freedom of expression is necessary to facilitate full and complete debate of all sides of vital public issues. That is why the first Amendment protects it.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. [http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html] [Emphasis added.]

Conservative talk radio is simply speech, translated into amplified radio frequency energy, amplified. & broadcast. Nothing in that process should remove it from the umbrella of first amendment protection. The fact that the Socialists seek unconstitutionally to censor it should prove to you that the Socialists are unworthy and unqualified to lead & legislate and should be removed from office at the next election.

The same forces seeking to censor talk radio also seek to censor the Internet. If they made conservative newspaper columns and editorials illegal, their violation of the Constititution would be immediately recognized as such. The only difference between news print and the Internet is the means of transmission and reproduction. Much of the content is transmitted both ways. Make no mistake, they'll outlaw this blog if they can get away with it, just as they seek to outlaw Rush Limbaugh and his colleagues & competitors.

While the Broadcaster Freedom Act has intrinsic merit, it will, in the long run, have little effect because it can be repealed by a simple majority vote. The Constitution is our only real protection; it must be rigorously enforced. Once the Socialists pack the Supreme Court, we will lose our last line of defense.

Now is the time, while we still have our voices; while we can still say, hear, write and read the truth without penalty, to make maximal use of our Constitutional rights. Rise up and raise Hell!

Prevent Censorship!

The Media Resource Center and allied organizations are seeking endorsement of their petition to Congress in opposition to the the 'Fairness Doctrine' and similar censorship plans proposed to silence Conservative talk radio. Reid, Pelosi, Schumer & their ilk are eager to silence voices of reason & common sense such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity & Mark Levin.

Whether they act through direct legislation, FCC rules & regulations; the 'Fairness Doctrine' or 'Local Advisory Councils', they will move to censor Conservative voices unless we make it known to them that their careers will be severely impaired as a direct consequence of their support for censorship schemes.

Click this link to sign the petition: http://www.mrcaction.org/r.asp?u=14303&PID=18788745.

Here is the text of the petition:

I am signing this petition to urge members of Congress and government officials to reject any and all efforts to censor, limit, or restrain the right of conservatives to participate freely in the marketplace of ideas through the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” or other similar efforts.

Additionally, I am joining with other American citizens who want their individual Free Speech Rights defended and protected from government intrusion! Our great nation was built upon free and open discourse, and to remain a great nation this ideal must be protected and preserved at all costs.

Please note that I will be watching closely and taking action when necessary to directly combat the liberal bias of the media.

It won't hurt to copy the text of the petition and paste it into an email to your Representative and Senators. You can send those three emails very easily at http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ .

Either we rise up and raise Hell now or in the next election cycle, the only loud voices heard will belong to the Socialists and their media allies; our side will be entirely silenced.

Do you need more information? The MRC has links in their left sidebar. Do you need more arguments? You'll find them here: Shibboleth: 'Public Airwaves' and here: The Fairness Doctrine. See also: Fairness Doctrine Watch: A “progressive” attack on talk radio and Fairness Doctrine Me Arse! .

The Unfairness Doctrine does not have a monopoly on censorship. At the United Nations, the Organization of the Islamic Conference is attempting to ram through the latest version of their Combating Defamation of Religions Resolution. The proposed resolution, expected to come up for a vote between December 18 & 22, calls for national and international laws to censor criticism of Islam. Here is my latest post about the resolution: Defamation of Religions Resolution Revised.

Only 53,209 have signed the ACLJ petition against the UN Defamation Resolution. Now is the time for you to add your endorsement! Why not send an email to your Representative & Senators demanding withholding of foreign aid & MFN status from any and all nations voting for the resolution or abstaining? No guts, no liberties!

UHOH!!! More ODS!!!

~Snooper~

Snide, snooty and sarcastic tones duly noted.

Obama has declared war on Talk Radio. Apparently, the libtard radio shows don't fare so well so naturally, the quality of the Conservative shows have to be lowered to make the libtards happier. Odd that. Studies have shown that Conservatives are much happier than libtards so why all this stroking of un happy dweebs escapes me.

Barack Obama sought to silence his critics during his 2008 campaign. Now, with the ink barely dry on this November's ballots, Obama has begun a war against conservative talk radio. Obama is on record as saying he does not plan an exhumation of the now-dead "Fairness Doctrine". Instead, Obama's attack on free speech will be far less understood by the general public and accordingly, far more dangerous. The late community organizer Saul Alinsky taught his followers to strike hard from an unexpected direction, an approach known as Alinsky jujitsu. Obama himself not only worked as an organizer for an Alinsky offshoot organization, Chicago's Developing Communities Project, but would go on to teach classes in Alinsky's beliefs and methods. "Alinsky jujitsu" as applied to conservative talk radio means using vague rules already on the books to threaten any station which dares to air conservative programs with the loss of its valuable broadcast license. [...]

OOPS. IS this ODS? To some fools it would be. We are to wait until it actually happens before we raise the read flags. Amazing. Amazing and idiotic. Tell that crap to Paul Revere. He would have put his boot in your ass and you would have deserved it. Think "localism" and you just might have a clue. I swear. Our "moderates" and those that say to play "nice-nice" in the face of arrogant Marxists are astoundingly misguided in a very large and dangerous way. Oh. Wait. We have more "class" than the BDS pukes. Since when is facing Czarbie with facts ODS and facing Bush with lies and contrived BS with no substantiation whatsoever the same thing? Please. Grow up people.

Here is some more of that mythical ODS garbage I have been hearing idiots prattle on about for about a week now. And, don't tell me I didn't warn you. We MUST be in campaign mode 24-7-365 people. Anything shy of that is sheer lunacy and an equation of failure. I am sick and tired of going it pretty much alone. I get ZERO help for the local GOP...it is too hard to go talk to people. Morons.

Here is some more of that ODS nonsense. We all KNOW that Obama is a pathological liar. We tried to get the RINOs to go after the folks that were in charge of the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac quagmire but, "they" wanted to show more of that "class" (why does "class" have "ass" in it?) and take the "high road". Nice-Nice. Losers. Now, Czarbie says what? "For instance, did you know that both parties bear some responsibility for the housing crisis?". What? The HELL you say! Who said that? OBAMA SAID THAT! Ya think? Oh. Wait. ODS. Simply damned amazing that ODS stuff. Truth revealed is "low class". WOW!

For a break, let's talk more about RINOs. OK? Would that be RDS? RINO Derangement Syndrome? Is everything that makes waves, based on fact now considered to be some XDS thing? What's up with that? Anyway via: click the photo and it tells/reveals all. Can you believe that crap? RINOs have already started worshiping at the zipper of the illegal alien. WOW! "Republicans" have INITIATED a gun ban, ensuring the disarmament of law-abiding American Citizens and ensuring the crooks have the weapons that they need to conduct their business of........assaulting unarmed Americans. This is unacceptable.

OK. Getting back to the ODS quagmire that those afraid of fighting get all squeamish about. Iranian delegates are coming to the United States to talk to who? Democrats. here we go again with the same old garbage. I swear. What is the difference between a Democrat Party leader and the terrorists? Any clues?

[...] Regarding the contents of this event, once again, the speakers will argue that the time is now rife to engage with the Iranian regime. They will be pushing for all the sanctions to be lifted, and will be arguing that incentives should be augmented. The organizer of the Tuesday event, Trita Parsi, as the moderator and president of NIAC will be trying to persuade the forum what he has been trying to achieve for a long time; that the US should accept the Iranian dominance in the Middle East. In an article in Huffington Post of April 22, 2008 Parsi wrote: “Is the United States ready to share the region with Iran?” Then he emphasized that: “Sooner or later, Iran and the U.S. must learn how to share the region.” (shocker, one of NIAC's leader posts on Huff Po -ed.)

The NIAC is the National Iranian American Council. Sounds just like CAIR, doesn't it? Nope. That's just unfounded ODS and BHR stuff (Black Helicopter Republican) fear mongering. I know. But, wait! There's more campaign lying ODS stuff! This stuff one cannot make up. Remember the feigned outrage over holding terrorists for an indefinite period of time? Remember how cruel that was and the poor murdering scum should be released on their own recogniscence? Well, now it is OK because Czarbie will be Supreme Ruler. Put that up your butt and squat.

Stay tuned. More ODS BS will be published shortly.

Everyone Wants To Be Fair So, This Is It

~Snooper~

I received this in my email from Stormin' Norman...

Fellow Business Executives:

As the CFO of this business that employs 140 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our next President, and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Clients will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8% but since we cannot increase our fees right now due to the dismal state of our economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been eating at me for a while, as we believe we are family here and I didn't know how to choose who will have to go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled thru our parking lot and found 8 Obama bumper stickers on our employees' cars and have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this problem. These folks wanted change; I gave it to them.

If you have a better idea, let me know.

I'll second that.

Obama: It's Not Fascism When We Do It

~Snooper~

Amazingly incredible how far the alleged "conservatives" will go to defend watered down activism all in the name of theoretically taking the theoretical "high road". We have seen how the "high road" has benefited the Conservative Movement in the last few elections since 2000. We have seen how the "holier then thou" route has gotten the GOP/RNC leadership worshiping at the various trouser openings of many of our "esteemed colleagues across the aisle", aka "our good friends". I can just see and hear them now; "MY! What do you have behind that zipper? Can I see it?"

I am sick and tired - no, wait - I am passed fed up with tolerating the very attitudes that has enabled a known Marxist to ascend to the White House with that said same Marxist having no compunction whatsoever to honor the United States Constitution. Barack Hussein Obama is not a natural-born citizen. If he was, he would have produced his VAULT copy of his United States of America OFFICIAL birth certificate. He has had at least two years to produce it and the COLB he did produce and posted was proven to be a forgery. Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible under the United States Constitution to even run for the presidency let alone BE the President.

I am sick and tired of hearing that this is a round-robin non-issue. The people that have been subverted to the point of trying to distance themselves from this issue because it is too hard or because they don't want to be called names or they don't want to be seen as one of those Black Helicopter Republicans are part of the problem and will never be part of the solution. Period. Get over yourselves. This "warning" has been loud and clear since the late 1950s and was presented to Congress in 1963. A little history digging will bear this out and the goody-goody pansies would benefit from a little homework. Most of us have already done the leg work for them. I propose the term "Cowards In Red" for this particular class of Ostrich.

I suppose it is due to my combat experience that drives me towards this particular battle. I always drew the Suck Details. I didn't know what "I give up" is nor did I understand the mind set of "we cannot do this" or the totally defeatist mantra of "it's too hard". But most of all, first and foremost, I absolutely reject the idiocy of "that's not playing nice". I never overcame a fight by being nice to anyone, including those in my command or those I was assigned to. The time for nice-nice is after the battle has been fought and won. Losers give up before the battle. Losers turn tail and criticize others for "getting dirty". Losers deny the obvious and pretend something else is going on in the hopes that "things work out".

Taking the High Road loses battles, wars and skirmishes. And that is where the GOP/RNC is at this particular point in time. Loser Status. They are in Loser Status because they have abandoned the Conservative Cause that wins every time it is applied. I loath losers. They disgust me. I didn't lose a body part to let the members of the GOP/RNC Loser Boy Club dictate to me how to fight. If you are afraid of being seen as not nice, STFD and STFU and let those that are willing to get bloody do the fighting. And when the dust and smoke clears, you can come out from your spider holes. I don't have time for you.

The alleged "voices of reason" have shot their wads and have lost miserably. They have had their time. It is time for them to sit on the sidelines and watch how the fight is fought.

Along that vein, I don't have the time to act like a particular person at Hot Air would like us to although I do respect the folks at Hot Air. We do not have the time to play nicely. This isn't a game. It is indeed a Cultural War. The Onset of ODS...

For the past seven-plus years, the Left has suffered from Bush Derangement Syndrome. Well, actually, the rest of us have suffered from their embrace of BDS, which one might think would inoculate us from any related maladies. As Jake Tapper notes, though, the onset of Obama Derangement Syndrome might prove that wrong: [...] [...] At the time, Obama’s supporters claimed that he meant the Peace Corps and other volunteer organizations. That seems a stretch, but so does Broun’s interpretation of it. As I wrote at the time, the nation already has a number of non-military national security forces, including the FBI, ICE, Border Patrol, and so on. If we want to fund that better, many conservatives would agree, but not funding it to the same extent as the military. In the context of Obama’s remarks above, though, he fairly clearly meant to at least include a volunteer force in outreach within and outside the US as some sort of Department of Peace-like indirect boost to national security. Nothing in that speech hints at a Gestapo-like organization at all. I’d agree that we have to remain vigilant at all times to ensure that the government doesn’t try to impose such a regime upon us, but this is an extremely thin reed to grasp for such a conclusion. Although I supported a freer hand at the NSA in monitoring communications with one end in the US for possible terrorist activities given the dangers we face in this era, it’s far easier for the government to turn that into a Gestapo than what Obama proposed. That’s why I understood the Left’s opposition to it (as well as a small minority of conservatives) and thought reasonable safeguards against potential abuse were appropriate, as the eventual compromise in Congress provided. [...]

Ed, Ed, Ed. Please remove head from sand, my friend. Come up for air, OK? The evidence which directly refutes the claim that "Nothing in that speech hints at a Gestapo-like organization at all" is simply overwhelming. There is absolutely no other viable explanation and the scrubbed Change.gov site was the icing on the cake. WAKE.UP. A mere glimpse and cursory glance on Obama's past and current associations was all I needed. His Hope and Change has morphed into Business As Usual. See the screen shot to the left from Protein Wisdom.

And, about that BDS thing. Those suffering from it did what, exactly. Odd and railing allegations with absolutely no hint or hints of truth fomented the over emotional and immature intellect drove that crowd and most of them are what? Socialists? Marxists? Anarchists? Hello? Earth calling. Obama, on the other hand, has come right out and flatly stated his intentions in the hopes that the watered down GOPers would react and respond EXACTLY like they are at the moment, save the very few...like myself. I can smell a Marxist a decade away.

To Rep. Paul Broun I say, HIP HIP HOORAY! It is about time SOMEONE in Congress actually stepped out of the box the DNC has placed the GOP in. As for those that know or suspect something along those lines that Rep Broun expressed concern over that are too afraid to step out of the box they have been placed in, they can kiss my ass and whoever they are, I will work hard at getting them replaced with people that hate socio-Marxism as much as I do.

A Republican congressman from Georgia said Monday he fears that President-elect Obama will establish a Gestapo-like security force to impose a Marxist or fascist dictatorship. "It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he's the one who proposed this national security force," Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. "I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism." Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military. "That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist." "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set," Obama said in July. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." Broun said he also believes Obama likely will move to ban gun ownership if he does build a national police force. "We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential."

Don Surber seems to think Broun was a little over the top but that is his decision to make. I whole heartedly disagree. McNorman disagrees as well. So does Anti-Mullah. So does Gateway Pundit. So does Radio Patriot. So does Kudzu.

Similar Czarbie-like movements started in this manner before and ignoring that fact and pretending it couldn't happen here in this Nation reveals a blatant lack of intellectual fortitude required to actually begin to think about fighting the way this needs to be fought. NOTE: it has already started here. WAKE. UP.

As I have brought up before and. many others as well, CPUSA - Communist Party of the United States has fully endorsed Barack Hussein Obama. Tell me with a straight face that doesn't concern you. If you can, you are in the wrong political spectrum.

No matter how the High Roaders (GOP/RNC) and Low Roaders (DNC) try to spin any of the above, the fact remains:

The Obama Thugocracy Doesn't Play By American Rules of Law

We've noted for over a month that behind the Web 2.0 gradients and slick pastel veneer the coming Obama administration operates more like a third world thugocracy than an American Presidential administration. The change.gov website is another example of that. Federal law is pretty clear that the candidate's campaign apparatus must be separate from the government and the government cannot be used as a de facto extension of the campaign. Never mind American law, in the Obama administration they'll damn well do as they please! Thugocrats have no respect for law. [...]

I have reported on this before but just in case someone may have missed it:

Marxists … Takes One To Know One. Gorby’s Advice To Obama

Gorbachev calls on Obama to carry out ‘perestroika’ in the U.S MOSCOW, November 7 (RIA Novosti) - Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev has said that the Obama administration in the United States needs far-reaching ‘perestroika’ reforms to overcome the financial crisis and restore balance in the world. The term perestroika, meaning restructuring, was used by Gorbachev in the late 1980s to describe a series of reforms that abolished state planning in the Soviet Union. In an interview with Italy’s La Stampa published on Friday, Gorbachev said President-elect Barack Obama needs to fundamentally change the misguided course followed by President George W. Bush over the past eight years. Gorbachev said that after transforming his country in the late 1980s, he had told the Americans that it was their turn to act, but that Washington, celebrating its Cold War victory, was not interested in “a new model of a society, where politics, economics and morals went hand in hand.” He said the Republicans have failed to realize that the Soviet Union no longer exists, that Europe has changed, and that new powers like China, Brazil and Mexico have emerged as important players on the world stage. He told the paper that the world is waiting for Obama to act, and that the White House needs to restore trust in cooperation with the United States among the Russians. [...]

Furthermore:

American Superpower Era Over, Russian Analyst Says

Sure to please the America hating left that elected a Marxist as our new president, a Senior Russian Political Analyst now says “Obama's victory in the presidential election marks an end to the superpower era for the United States.” Sergei Rogov, director of the U.S. and Canada Institute says,

“The U.S. presidential election has great significance. I would qualify its results as the end of an era ...of several decades when the U.S. became a superpower and attempted to emerge as the only superpower in a unipolar world after the end of the Cold War.”

Does Rogov recognize that sole Superpower status was thrust upon us when the Soviet Union, unable to compete in the market or defense spending, folded, bankrupt? Does he acknowledge that the U.S. has shown remarkable restraint as the sole Superpower, even after being attacked numerous times by radical Jihadists seeking to be the World’s Rulers? No! He just takes delight that seeing who Americans elected to the top office in the land will now dismantle America as a Superpower. Rogov makes the further false assumption of,

“The self-imposed role as the world's policeman has exhausted the American army, which is now unable to wage a third war against Iran or North Korea.”

Does Rogov see a need for another war? If so, why aren’t those who see the need banding together against these other despots instead of seeking to dismantle he only nation willing to confront the radical Jihadists that have even attacked his nation, Russia? [...]

Does any of this sound even remotely familiar? Obama has stated the contents of the List of 45 upon many an occasion namely #'s 1, 2 and 3 at the moment. These are in regards to disarmament to "display a more presentable America". Does that help the familiarity pill at all?

One more thing before we go:

Chuck Schumer and Dems Are Pushing a Police State

Chuck Schumer fired the opening salvo in the war against free speech this week by calling Conservative talk radio "Pornography"

What Schumer is not telling you is that Radio is probably one of the most Democratic institutions in the world. If people want to hear what is on they listen, if they don't.... well there are tons of radio stations, listeners can turn the dial to find what they like. If a radio program doesn't generate listeners, it doesn't get advertising, no advertising, no radio program. It's really a simple process.

You see, raising the fairness doctrine back from the dead, is taking away our right to select the programming we want to hear. Its only being brought up because the democrats want people like Rush Limbaugh to have less air time. The fact is the American Public has already made their voice heard. Remember when Air America was launched with great fanfare? It was to be the Liberal Voice of Talk Radio. Guess what happened? NOBODY LISTENED, IT GENERATED POOR RATINGS, MADE NO MONEY AND WENT BANKRUPT. Oh its still around, I believe in its third incarnation, still generating no ratings, still loosing money hand over foot. [...]

Again, I applaud any and all politicians that have the courage and moral fortitude to sound the Klaxons and sound them loudly and often. We can no longer play nice-nice under any circumstance. Along with that, we can not afford to FALSELY allege or accuse like the libtard moonbat fruit loop brigades did the entire 8 years of GWB and their constant attempts to lose the war for political gain and political power. We stick with known facts and issues. We present True Conservatives and the libtard moonbat fruit loop brigades will fall and crumble before us...as they have in the past.

The Marxist Media Continues Their Biased Idiocy

~Snooper~

The LA Slimes has the usual hit piece up today in regards to the theoretical "angry right wing media". That can only be Radio Talk Show and bloggers. Memeorandum has the usual suspects gathered. They go after Hannity and Rush and we can only surmise that the Marxists are getting ready to put into place the Marxist Doctrine of Pravda.

You have to give Rush Limbaugh a perverse kind of credit. At least when he is demonizing Barack Obama, fabricating Obama policies, blaming Obama for single-handedly causing the recession and the stock market crash, he doesn't pretend to be fair.

Opening his first post-election rant against the president-elect, Limbaugh launched in with a certain relish. "The game," he told his radio listeners, "has begun."

Sean Hannity, on the other hand, insisted on feigning a post-election detente, telling his Fox News television audience last week, "I want Barack Obama to succeed."

Didn't he think anyone would notice that, just a moment later, he was back parroting the failed campaign argument that Obama is a "mystery"?

"I fear [this] is the guy that has these radical associations 20 years ago," Hannity added, an odd way of demonstrating support for the new commander in chief. [...] read the rest

Czarbie isn't the new CIC yet. He has to prove his eligibility to SCOTUS in case you haven't been informed of that yet. The opening paragraph is the usual libtard idiocy in that there is no substantiation and I know for a fact that Rush has never said what the LA Slimes Marxists claim. They are cowards and the Truth is alien to them. With the Imam from Kenya soon to release what he is possession of, Czarbie just might have to be deported with his flat-broke Aunt from Boston.

Gateway Pundit says that it didn't take long for the proponents of the unFairness Doctrine to begin their assaults.

They're still counting votes from Tuesday's election but the liberal media is already attacking "angry" conservatives on talk radio.

They're paving the way for the Fairness Doctrine.

The Los Angeles Times-- the same news outfit that would not release video of Obama toasting a former PLO operative at a Chicago Jew-bash-- wrote about the angry conservative talk radio hosts today: [...] read the rest

Newsbusters is reporting the same...poor things. The dinosaur media is being criticized for their obvious bias towards the illegal alien Marxist Obama and THEY say we are angry? Please. Stop the insanity.

The Fairness Doctrine is something that cannot be allowed or accepted.

The Broadcaster Freedom Act

The Broadcaster Freedom Act, to outlaw return of the so-called Fairness Doctrine, has now been introduced in the House and Senate. Check here to see if your members of Congress are co-sponsors. The Broadcaster Freedom Act is H.R. 2905 in the House and S. 1748 in the Senate. To learn more about this, please read our recent column on the subject, "The Fairness Doctrine is Not Dead."

Again, do NOT miss reading THIS article!!

Below is a link to the roll call vote on the amendment to the House Financial Services Appropriations bill blocking the reinstatement of the Fairness Doctrine during the fiscal year 2008. This amendment, which has NOT passed the Senate, will NOT in any case prevent a Democratic president and Congress from bringing back the Fairness Doctrine through an action by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It will take passage of the Broadcaster Freedom Act to do that.
