Political Punch

Hello everyone. I define comfort as self-acceptance. When we finally learn that self-care begins and ends with ourselves, we no longer demand sustenance and happiness from others.
I am from Verde and also now am reading in English, give please true I wrote the following sentence: "  The fact that a large segment of the american public is suffering is irrelevant from their perspective."

:( Thanks in advance. Oneida.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz and Clark Howard are members of The Ronald Reagan Republican Swift Boat Gestapo Nazi Hate Radio: Lies, Hate and Greed. All are graduates os Joseph Goebbels School of Journalism at Adolf Hitler University.
Certainly the smears, slurs and Poisonous Vitriol spit at Harry Read during his Mr. Tapper's Republican Swift Boat Gestapo "interview" only proves he doesn't tell the truth and the serves his master race.
Once there was journalism in this country when people like Edward R. Murrow was around.
Now we have Nazis like John Stossel, Chip Reid and Mr. Tapper whose only job is to lie so war profiteers can steal money.
You are human filth and a liar.

Personally I see no need for a congressional decrees to change "Talk Radio."

We have main stream television news programs that have shown to be more liberal than conservative. Then we have talk raido. I have a brain. I gather information from a number of different sources. I do not need one network providing two sides of one issue. I have a hand that can tune into many different avenues to get the "big picture."

I do tend to lean toward a more conservative process. More just right to center than hard right... So I can also see how re-starting the "faireness" doctrine could actually improve things... as the hard left, is more sociallist in nature.... It would only bring out this fact more plainly than current news agencies currently show.

jot314 - you are right about tv, but i listen to the radio while i work, that is probably where the majority listen

Is no one working or is everyone watching TV and listening to the radio?
When I was working a 40 hr week, I was so tired, I bearly had time to watch TV or listen to radio..........Oh, well, those were the good days, when Americans had well paying jobs.

So, just when so many on here were scoffing that Mrs. Bill Clinton and Babs Boxer ever discussing shutting down their radio boogeymen.
I couldn't help noticing which state both Boxer and Feinstein come from.
Wasn't it the progressives who always said the First Amendment was not created to protect only speech we want to hear?
Oh, my bust, silly me.

Diffuse - Great post

Ahmed - It is Freedom of Speech NOT Freedom from speech. And plus please state something that is hate-filled from conservative talk Radio, I know the Left Radio shows were filled with hate speech, so please list hate speech form the Conservative talk shows please??

Also can't you change the dial to the 1000's of other stations?

And for those bringing up Florida GET over it!! First of all President Bush won the 2004 election with a record number of votes from any election in past. and in 2000 how come Gore did not want the Military votes to be counted in Florida?? and They never were!.

Do you know that all great countries were destroyed from the inside. The only way to destroy this great country is from the inside, and the greatest protection we have is the First Amendment, if the Libs do away with that we are sure to be no more.

Beth - So what experience does Obama have? None? he is a Puppet made up from the Lib Press to take attention away from Hilary's gaffes.

Fred Thompson has years of experience to long to list here. Google his history.

28 Years??? It will only be 20, but that said People still like Bush, just because the Lib press does not like him, or there are some disagreements from the Republicans with him does not mean he is disliked. You know if there was a Dem in office, the press would be promoting the Great Economy we have and be reporting all the good in Iraq. Oh I'm sorry if a Dem was in office we probably would be losing the War on Terror (WWIII)

talk radio (noun)[mod. Eng. derivative of "radio", in reference to "radio programming"] 1) broadcast radio programs consisting almost entirely of moderator(s) discussing issues of the day with callers or interviewees; 2) much sound and fury, signifying nothing.

=======================================
A FEW QUESTIONS THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. THE FIRST IS WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY THAT OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE, YET NO ONE ASKS THAT QUESTION OF FRED THOMPSON? THE NEXT IS AN ISSUE NO ONE ASKS, WHY IS HILLARY RUNNING? SHE IS PASSE AND TAKING UP SPACE THAT NOW BELONGS TO OBAMA, EDWARDS OR RICHARDSON. WHY DOES HILLARY THINK SHE HAS THIS RIGHT? THE CLINTONS ALREADY HAD THEIR TURN. BESIDES THE FACT WE HAVE CLINTON AND BUSH FATIGUE, DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO ADDRESS THIS FACT? 28 YEARS OF BUSHES AND CLINTONS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A DEMOCRACY TO ME, AND THERE SHOULD BE A LAW AGAINST THIS ! THEN WHAT? JEB BUSH GETS TO RUN? THIS IS INSANE AND THIS MUST STOP! AND THIS IS BESIDE THE FACT THAT NO ONE LIKES HILLARY AND NO ONE LIKES THE BUSHES.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Rush who? The only Rush I listen to are named: Geddy Lee, Alex Lieson and Neil Peart. But Rush Limbaugh et al in all honesty are nothing Since Howard Stern for example left terrestrial radio, Limbaugh's listenership went fom 30 million to 10 million. And currently, left radio has increased from say: 500,000 to 1.8 million. So where are the others? Sure not Sirius or X.M., but to a small network called Premiere Radio Networks, specifically to a show called Coast to Coast A.M. The show hosted by George Noory, Ian Punnett and Art Bell has more than 10 million and up to 50 million listeners. Yes, it's that woo woo radio show, but that woo woo radio show asks the questions no talk show asks: 9/11, Codex, Soldiers dying from D.U., RFID tags and so on. And yes the UFO theories too, but guess what? Rush Limbaugh doesn't talk smack about Coast when George Noory has guests criticizing Bush. And Fox news is a part of Premiere's radio news program.

So don't worry about Rush, et al, just make sure you're honest and not on the other end of the CoastRider's wrath.

P.S., Gorge Noory for President 2012

Bush is NOT a Texan!! He was a Yankee immigrant ! Now Ron Paul is a native Texan, southern scholar and gentleman. Check him out!!

Radio today, internet next, shortwave eventually? Maybe we will be forced to publish broadsides as they did during the revolutionary war. Sharpen your quill pens!

Hey, let's reopen the Florida vote, only this time, we won't let the national media announce they're "projection" 2 hours before the polls close. Want to bet that's not worth a couple of hundred thousand votes?

SAndra 1..."they aready removed our rights to vote..."

Really? So "they" you didn't vote?

And "they" won't let you vote next time?

Who are "they," Sandra? The very liberal Democrat Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court, who warned his court that they were getting way out of line - that there was no way the Supreme Court would let their radical decision stand. That same decision, the state-wide recount that Al Gore's chief counsel argued in front of the Florida Supreme Court that they had no legal standing in ordering such a "state-wide" recount. Yes, Sandra. Boies argued against what the left says they wanted. Only Gore did not want it. Besides, the recounts did, in fact show that if "those" recounts had proceeded, Bush would have won any way.

in the end, it did not matter that the US Supreme Court voted 7-2 to stop the recount. Had they voted for it to continue, Bush would have won the recount. There is no argument on those issues. The arguments are on fringe fantasies.

In his new biography of Hillary Clinton, " A Woman in Charge," Carl Bernstein recalls April 23-25, 1993, the 94th, 95th and 96th days of the Clinton administration, when the president and Mrs. Clinton attended a retreat with Senate Democrats in Williamsburg. It was already clear that the Clintons were not going to fulfill their promise to present "comprehensive" health-care legislation within their first 100 days. Bernstein reports that two of the most respected and, for Mrs. Clinton's purposes, most important senators, Pat Moynihan and Bill Bradley (both were on the Finance Committee, which would handle her legislation; Moynihan was chairman), were appalled by her highhandedness.

Bradley asked her whether the tardiness in delivering her bill would complicate passage by making the bill competitive with other legislative goals, and he suggested that some substantive changes in her proposal might be necessary. Bernstein writes:

"No, Hillary responded icily, there would be no changes because delay or not, the White House would 'demonize' members of Congress and the medical establishment who would use the interim to alter the administration's plan or otherwise stand in its way."

Bradley and Moynihan heard this, Bernstein says, "with disgust and distrust." Her plan never even came to a vote in a Congress controlled by her party.

Teucer said:
"Inhofe is a prevaricator to say the least. No thousand word Limbaughesque essay will change this fact."

My turn:
I guess it was too much to hope that more than a glib response that doesn't even begin to refute what I said was on its way.
I don't know or much care about Inhofe and whether he overheard Mrs. Bill Clinton and Babs Boxer discussing how they were going to take down your Limbaugh boogeyman.
I pay more attention to congressmen Kucinich, Hoyer, and Pelosi, who have advocated reinstitution of a severely antiquated and constitutionally troubling bit of regulation.
Now, do I believe that it will amount to much more thana token effort to put it forward, as a way to at least throw the far left a bone?
No, I really don't.
I believe they will at least mention it at their campaigns some, and they may even introduce written motions, but they won't get very far with that, either.
No, I believe that it will get scuttled by both right and (sensible) left thinkers.
The sensible ones will recognize it for what it is: sly government regulation of things it doesn't like flying under the banner of fairness, whatever that is.
However, if they should press forward with any real seriousness, it would do its advocates FAR more harm than good, what with how it would energize their opposition.
People are funny that way.

The talk radio is great. It's the Sen. and Cong. that has to go, even the President. Sure seems like they are in this together, and are afraid the people are going to hear a truth that they don't want to be heard. Keep it up. Christine

Here’s how the left handles free speech and the rights of Americans. Silence the American people with "hate speech" laws. Silence the soldier's, because they dare to speak out against them, and just want to win. Silence the radio waves with the "Fairness Doctrine." Silence the pulpits with threatening the churches with removal of their tax-exempt status for conducting "political speech" from the pulpit. (I.E.- talking about them.), but exempt your church’s from the same. http://www.texemarrs.com/121998/irsmuz.htm. Silence people who accuse them of wrongdoing by having them audited by the IRS. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=14702 Silence your political opposition by obtaining their F.B.I. records, where any accusation can be unfairly made, and pass it off to a willing media as an “innocent mistake.” http://www.cnn.com/US/9606/23/fbi.files/ B. J. Clinton was a master of the last three. Silence dissent in the classrooms. Silence speakers and alternative viewpoints by heckling on college campuses. Silence authors by not displaying or reordering their books in the bookstores, even when those books are on the best seller list. Attack the right of free speech, and others, by denying that there is a God, so no such thing as "God given rights." Disseminate false and misleading information when it serves your interests to advance your cause. Silence the right of being asked serious questions by your opposition, by refusing to appear on any network that doesn’t support you, even if that network’s opinions are supported by over half of the nation, and they are the most watched. Deny the right to free and closed election ballots to people voting on Union membership. Any of you sunshine patriots who support these people should think twice. When you stop marching out of lockstep, and have a different view then the one the media is filling you with, it will be your turn to discover just what an oppressive government can do. You know, "when they came for me, there was nobody left." When the right of free speech is gone, the only thing separating us from a revolution will be the size of our middle class. Should China, or another nation, put us into economic chaos, all that will remain is anarchy. Woe to you on that day, as I for one will be part of a group of millions that will be ferreting out you lunatics who support the silencing of your fellow Americans, or believe all this nonsensical conspiracy garbage . Then, all the gun laws, faith in global warming, and smarmy intellectual superiority you think you possess in the world won't be enough to protect you from we, the people, who still love this country. We will be sanctioned in what we do, as the documents that created this great nation demand us to revolution, should we be threatened with the government usurping of our “God given rights.” This is what our founder’s said, in case you’ve forgotten- “Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their saftey and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light or transient causes: and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” Ya’all just might want to keep that in mind.
