The Fairness Doctrine and what it will do to the media

[exenrontexas]

The facts are that the PEOPLE own the airwaves and that Thomas Jefferson was dedicated to the free flow of ideas from differing parties. THAT is what the First Amendment is all about and that is precisely what FOX and their fascist allies do not want.

[EddieLandsberg]

Wow... being forced to give both sides of the argument... and letting people decide for themselves would be a THREAT to Conservative media... what does that say about conservatives. - - AM radio is like a rock that many people use to hide from reality. Unfortunately, the argument given at 1:50 is also a strong point against it though.

[cknight63]

This will mean the death of AM talk radio as we know it.

What is driving the push to enact this so-called "Fairness Doctrine"? It's simple. So-called "Democrats" in congress want to silence dissenting political opinions and prevent you from hearing them. If you are an American and if you value free speech then you should be outraged. It's ethically no different from jamming radio transmissions like they did in cold-war Russia and currently do in Cuba.

[sep0507]

The south ain't rising again, you hick. The south is only issolating itself from the rest of the country. Instaed of being progressive, the south is regressive.

[SpringfieldCSA]

The US government , they are scared to death of us and what we have accomplished. The South is rising again, just as predicted by our Great President Davis in his book.

[SpringfieldCSA]

This is really a bunch of crap. All Southerns put up you flag The 3rd National of The Confederate States of America.

[SpringfieldCSA]

It sounds like what the Nazi's did and others Russia,China,etc controlling the media.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Paranoid much? This isn't government controlling the media, isn't remotely close to China or Russia, it is the airwaves, which belong to the people, being accessable to both sides instead of just one. It makes perfect sense, is a reasonable moderate law which was in the US code for decades and was only killed as part of the ridiculous myth of "liberal bias" in the mainstream media. No good reason to not have the Fairness Doctrine has been presented, just paranoid lies. It "silences" nobody.

[jackbelias]

Are centrists and conservatives going to be forced upon the Boston Globe and the New york times too? "The people" is code for far left, in reality the people have chosen what they want to hear on the radio and their choice doesnt sit well with the far left. Now you want govt to ban all of the shows the people have chosen to listen to, then force 24/7 radical revolutionary BS across every channel in America. Thats what the "fairness doctrine" does, it strips the people of choice.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias There are already far more conservative and moderate voices in the Times and Globe than liberal voices. This is about REALITY, not the idiotic Rush Limbaugh lie of "liberal media". If the mainstream media really DID have a liberal bias, the right would be beating the drum for Fairness, instead they OPPOSE it because they know the left is silenced. The people don't choose right wing hate radio, advertisers do. It is a lie to claim it's to force 24/7 "radical BS".

[jackbelias]

FALSE! Communists cant help but see democratic party tools in the media as "conservative" in comparison.

"Conservative" in its true definition preserves the constitution and the principles of individual liberty. Your way off the deep end collectivist left has no interest in individual liberties, we arent even allowed to choose our radio programs according to you. Now you want the govt to ban all radio shows you disagree with then fill the airwaves with programs you approve of.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Lie after lie. First off, who is a "communist"? There's none in this conversation. Secondly, yes there IS a significant bias towards the status quo and CONSERVATISM within the mainstream media, and the ridiculous myth that it's a "liberal bias" has been ADMITTED a politically motivated lie by those who STARTED it, including Pat Buchanan who spread this bilge to cover Agnew's corruption and has admitted it.

Of course the left ALONE cares about liberties, your only "liberty" is non-existant.

[jackbelias]

You want forced wealth redistribution, all powerful govt, collectivism, govt control over media content, and you dont know why I accuse you of being a communist? Lenin did exactly all of those things to the Russian people and called it what it was, you want to rename it "social justice" so you can pretend its something different.

You can name your family dog "horse", but I will bet your neighbors still see a dog.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Contrary to your sick hate of government, in America the people ARE the government. Yes, we SHOULD redistribute wealth, it is wrong to have millions starving while a few have obscene wealth. Calling that communist shows you have no clue what the word means. That is NOT social justice, and that you've admitted racism shows how little you know about democracy and justice.

[jackbelias]

I would happily walk out of my door with an AK 47 alongside many others if you ever managed to get a soviet socialist style state with forced wealth redistribution. Want a civil war? Go ahead and implement that.

I want to be wealthy someday, Its a goal to aspire to and I wont be robbed of the freedom to set such a goal. Liberty is worth killing and dying for. Self governance and the freedom to determine my own future are natural rights.

I will not be enslaved to your collective.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Wow, what absolute treason. You'll kill anyone from the US government that cares about helping the poor? Thanks for reminding us why we need gun control, to keep radical nuts like this from murdering elected officials.

That you want to be wealthy, and don't care if others starve, makes you a rotten excuse for a human being. That is NOT liberty. You want it ONLY for yourself, liberty for ALL is what this nation's supposed to be about.

[jackbelias]

@ColumbiaCowboy The founders didnt want government to intrude upon the rights of an armed populace. We are armed to defend ourselves from you. Your need to take my entire savings account, my home, my car, then tax my income 100% makes you a jackbooted totalitarian I have every right to kill. You exist to covet what I worked for alot harder than most others.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

It remains a bald-faced LIE to say this is about banning ANY radio shows. IT'S A LIE! This will not ban ANY shows! It will ONLY take airwaves WHICH BELONG TO THE PEOPLE and give BOTH sides access instead of ONLY allowing one side.

[jackbelias]

"take airwaves" see, you admit to more robbery. First you say they belong to the people, but then call for the airwaves to be taken by the govt and given to political parties.

Turn on MSNBC and hear democrats, turn on FOX and hear republicans. The AM radio waves were dead before conservatives decided to use them, now you want what you didnt want before? Advertisers go to the highest ratings, the people decide which shows are most popular. Now democrats tell us we cant choose on our own.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Lie. It's not robbery, the government IS the people. WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. Contrary to the Rush Limbaugh lies, the government is us. "Turn on MSNBC and hear Democrats Turn on Fox and hear Republicans" is also a lie. MSNBC has political programs with moderately liberal people a few hours a day. Fox has biased

"news" programming 24/7. Massive difference.

The airwaves belong to the people, NOT advertisers. It's a lie to say we don't want you to choose, we do, you DON'T. You want ONLY the right

[jackbelias]

I dont belong to your political party, thus I am not a "we". Your political party is the govt right now. You control the whole mess all the way to the WH.

70+ percent of the people can be opposed to your bills, but you ram them right through anyway. What we think and what we want is never even considered by your far left empowered fringe.

If people wanted democratic party govt radio it would exist and have all of the advertisers fighting for airtime. people just dont want it.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias More lies. 70%? Hell, why not make up that 90% oppose? in fact a majority SUPPORT universal health care, but that doesn't matter, we have LEADERSHIP, not mob rule.

Far left fringe? Obama is a MODERATE democrat, the house full of blue dogs. There is no "far left fringe" in our government, but the GOP is owned lock stock and barrel by the far right fringe.

The airwaves belong to the people, ONLY one side being heard is theft.

[prooc]

@ColumbiaCowboy He's a marxist you stupid fuck. Wake up. 

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias And this does NOT strip people of choice, it GIVES people a choice. As it exists NOBODY from the left is heard. Talk radio is over 90% hard right--racism from Savage, hate from Limbaugh, the despicable blasphemy of Glenn Beck telling people to leave churches that follow Jesus Christ's call to social justice and economic justice. I live in a city of 100,000 and FOUR stations attack liberals 24/7 while the left gets exactly half an hour a day on a small community station.

[jackbelias]

Christ was a marxist leninist revolutionary. No sane individual would worship him or his genocidal cause.

Beck is christian and never called for a march away from the great communist. I wish he had as I would respect him more for it. Savage believes in no god and says what he will regardless of the will of a communist god. This makes him "racist" all by itself, a badge of honor for the great adversary.

Youre FOS, be satisfied with democratic party retards, they are left enough.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Genocidal? You're truly an idiot. There's nothing remotely "genocidal" about the Prince of Peace, and it's funny that you claim no "sane person" would follow the Lord even as the vast majority of the radical right wants to pretend Christianity requires conservatism. Beck is no Christian, and his sick lie that social justice isn't Christian proves it.

That you consider it a badge of honor to be racist shows how truly lacking in basic decency and character you are.

[jackbelias]

"Racist" is a word used to describe anyone who thinks the individual shouldnt be enslaved to the will of the revolutionary collective. This is a false definition of course, but in modern times most words are used incorrectly. A good example would be using the word "liberal" to describe modern leftists. The founders were liberals, they were all for individual liberty, not absolutist collectivism as is the modern left.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Lie. Racist is a truth meant to describe people like you who think black people deserve poverty. It's about people who perpetuate lies about the poor "smoking crack and pushing out fatherless babies" when more white people than black are in poverty.

And while your idea that liberals of today don't meet the real use is cute, it's another of your lies. We are for individual liberty. You are NOT. Liberty is worthless without enough food to eat and a home. The only "liberty" you care for is greed

[jackbelias]

Black people what? Where are you grtting your belief that I hat them? I serve alongside alot of black people, I worked with them in the civilian world. They dont like white leftists any more than I do.

The only people who use affirmative action are drop outs, addicts, ghetto trash, etc... Most people who live in poverty while not fitting into those catagories dont even qualify for AA. "Injin" me grew up in poverty and never needed a leg up, I didnt get AA.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Your hate of blacks is obvious and blatant, your comments about "crack" and attacks on "ghettos" and "fatherless children" couldn't be more racist and bigoted. You attack Affirmative Action and pretend you're no racist? Your racism is obvious, and despicable. Millions of white women use affirmative action, some of our nation's greatest leaders benefitted from it...we ALL benefit from it through a nation with equality of opportunity.

[EntryMan]

300MILLION AMERICANS....less than 2000 politicians. Goons number less than 2 million. That's military, cops, feds, blackwater, ALL of them...so 30 to 1 odds are in OUR favor...

[dingorex]

If Chavez tactics happen in the USA we all must stand together and riot. This cannot be allowed with only dying liberal rags and cloned lib network news. This injustice must be met with force.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Please explain how it is an "injustice" that both sides be heard.

[jackbelias]

"injustice" that both sides be heard"

It doesnt allow for both sides, it replaces popular conservative shows with goverment mandated progressive programming. Want to see and hear liberal programming? Turn on your TV or buy a newspaper.

[chikapiss]

@jackbelias right...like the news media is even liberal. If the media is liberal, then why are people like Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and Bill O'Rielly still on the air? They're right wing as hell. I consider then conformist fascists. Because that's what they are. look up fascism, and it'll be related to regimentation. Regimentation will lead to conformity, conformity is related to being a conservative. Try tell me if i'm wrong, because i know i'm not

[jackbelias]

I can tell youre young as you have a paranoid fear of mind control and eyes that see fascism and evil conformity everywhere. Beck seems to love individualism tempered by religion, savage goes a step further into the individualisy realm with more of a luciferian mindset, ORielly isnt conservative at all, there isnt a section of the bill of rights he agrees with.

Fascism is a collectivist form government where the best interests of the nations worker are paramount by the way. Look it up.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Beck loves individualism?? Horsecrap. Beck blasphemously calls for people to leave churches that promote economic and social justice. THAT is not individualism, that's "support the racism and selfishness of the far right or God hates you!" Savage is nothing but a bald-faced racist, O'Reilly isn't a conservative? Lord, you're so far to the right it's insanity, O'Reilly is VERY conservative, and you have no clue what facism is.

[jackbelias]

A little inbred christian teen like yourself should have more respect for his elders. Social justice requires absolutist abolition of all private property, racial preferences in hiring, acts of violence against people who do better than their brothers in any given area of life, etc... Your Jesus is dead, he died from AIDS he became infected with at a gay pride parade in San Francisco.

You dont know what fascism is, it was a collectivist form of government composed of the national worker.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Teen? Once again you're truly clueless. Social justice does NOT require no private property, moron. It DOES require preferences in hiring, and that's a good thing. It is NOT an act of violence, you're truly without a clue. Your blasphemous lies about Christ show you are truly facist and stupid. Fascism is NOT collectivist. At all.

[jackbelias]

Yeah its a good thing to leave the harder working unemployed for life while hiring only those who never lifted a finger to better themselves. That sounds wonderful.

National Socialism is an example of fascism, a collectivist form of govt which is all powerfull.

Social justice does require violence as many of us will resist our bank accounts being robbed and forced into unemployment for life as a punishment for self improving.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Socialism is not fascism. Our nation pretending that there are people who deserve to starve to death while limpdicks who do NOTHING to serve mankind sit in offices and rake in millions is "freedom", THAT is fascism.

If you think paying taxes is "robbery" than get the hell out of my nation, you are no American.

[jackbelias]

Whoa little queen. Remember whos land this is. It is you who makes himself unwelcome in the home of another.

Your ancestors invaded and I dare say granted us the most humanist form of govt possible. I am somewhat greatful for that as I happen to believe in their constitution very deeply. Religious pinkos like you are barred from ruling us thanks to the 1st article.

As soon as you suburban white leftists think youre ready go ahead and start the indian wars again. Kick us out by force!

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Little queen? Great, racism along with homophobia, figures.

You confirm AGAIN you are no Indian. To call the sick genocide of the invasion of this land "humane" is the sickest bunch of malarky imaginable. There's nothing remotely humanist about it, or about our right wing bigoted government. The constitution, ignored by the right CAME from Indians. Don't say "Us", you're a disgrace to your people.

[jackbelias]

Taxes are robbery when they are used to pay people to get high, live rent free, and have babies without fathers. I happily pay for national defense, civil services, roads, etc...

You do nothing for me, yet you want to clean me out. Your invisible sociopath says stealing is a virtue so like a good christian you rob everyone else blind. Social justice is a religious cause, thus an unconstitutional one. You cant very well claim to be an American while acting against the constitution.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias If you call taxes "theft," you are saying you're not an American, that this is not your country. However, I would like to know how you suggest running our nation with no income.

Oh, you want to pay for bombs and death, but not for services to actually help people? That's the selfishness of the right on display for us all.

There is nothing remotely unconstitutional about social justice, which ALL decent people REGARDLESS of faith support.

[jackbelias]

Turn on NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, etc... There you will see nothing but one sided political bias. Not one of the people you will see is in favor of even a single article of our constitution.

Youth live in a black and white world where evil conservatives spawned by the great satan lead the public away from the teachings of heavenly progressive angels. The truth is that "conservative" is granted to those who favor limited govt, individual liberty, and humanist agendas. They arent demonic beasts.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Lie after lie. There is no political bias at the mainstream media, just a bias to make money and preserve the CONSERVATIVE status quo. To call the far right, their bigotry and selfishness "humanist" is sick and wrong. There's nothing humanist about it. Individual liberty? The only "Liberty" you care about is hoarding wealth and discrimination.

[jackbelias]

I keep what is mine because I EARNED IT. I didnt take from anyone else, you christian communist pigs do that. I worked hard and now I have a few nice things. Want me to give YOU everything I have and live homeless forever? Pick up a rifle and try to take it like a man. At least earn some respect. Your white ancestors were warriors at least when they were stealing this land from my people. You are now reduced to crying theives wanting everything I EARN so you sit home and toke your bongs.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

You don't earn squat. You are not a better human being than the millions in this nation without enough to eat or decent health care. NOBODY "earns" starvation. Nobody "earns" to die without decent health care, they are basic human rights. You DO steal your wealth from others. Men don't use rifles. And those who stole from the Indians were NOT warriors, they were cowards and selfish thugs like yourself.

[jackbelias]

I dont earn anything by working? Really? What do you earn by toking your bong on your couch and cashing welfare checks? Its bad enough I pay people to smoke crack and push out fatherless babies, now you think I dont give enough. I do things I dont feel feel like doing for hours out of my day so I can EARN money and buy nice things for myself. Your whole mission in life is to take from me while doing nothing at all for the money you steal from me.

There is nothing holy about being a theif.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

First off, asshole, I don't smoke dope and never took any welfare in my life, NEITHER of which makes me any better than anyone else. Your racist hateful BS about crack and "fatherless babies" shows your KKK bull. NO you do NOT give enough. No, you do NOT earn the "right" to allow people to DIE while you do nothing. We have the wealthiest nation on the planet, hunger is inexcusable. Poverty is inexcusable. You do NOT earn that, you steal it. There is nothing holy about greed.

[jackbelias]

I make a whole 50,000.00 per year in the civilian world, hardly as much as the average white leftist who wants me to pay more taxes. I started out under the poverty line living in a home without a modern bathroom. Ever used an outhouse in the middle of a Maine winter? Try it sometime.

Dont tell me about greed, you leftists usually benefit from your BS far more than those you claim to help.

The KKK doesnt like us injins too much by the way. You can collect them on your way back to Europe.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias--Your hypocrisy is astounding. You used to be poor, yet loath poor people, blaming them for their own problems. Not everyone can go from there to 50 grand a year and you know it. You represent greed, I don't "benefit" from it at all, I loath it.

And your racism is KKK all the way. That you use a racial slur for Indians confirms your lie...you're no Indian.

[jackbelias]

Entitlements are not rights, a nation of entitlements can never allow freedom. Want health care? Get a job and sign up for it. Even service jobs have health care plans. Want food? Take some of your weed money and buy it from the super market. Either that or hunt for your own meats if you prefer healthy low fat meals. Either way I am not responsible for feeding you.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Health care is a right. Enough food to eat is a right. The opportunity for a decent education is a right. Denying them to people is denying freedom, to call it "freedom" is a bastardization of the word. Millions of CHILDREN in this nation haven't enough to eat, you think they spend it on weed? You're truly a fool. You aren't responsible for your fellow man? You're no man at all. Just another selfish coward only interested in yourself. That's not freedom.

[jackbelias]

Yeah I do think they spend it on drugs. My job in the civilian world involves "at risk" youth. Nearly all of them are heavy dopers. I know of 12 year olds who snort coke and fund their habits by breaking into homes.Their ghetto families dont think it the least bit wrong either.

To make food, a phd, and free malibu beach house a right you have to make someone else responsible for providing those goods.This requires using jackbooted force to make them pay.The founders would never agree to this.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias You think they spend it all on drugs because your a racist idiot who believes the hate radio lies. You see a few people victimized by the hopelessness YOUR selfishness and bigotry created and want to pretend ALL poor people are like that, and CHOOSE that life. Truly delusional. Ghetto? Do you learn this at KKK meetings? Your racism is disgusting.

Food IS a right. Education IS a right. Free malibu beach house? Another right wing lie. You don't know jack about the founders.

[jackbelias]

Men do use rifles, this is the 21st century and technology has changed things a bit. Get used to it. It takes alot more courage than you think to face men with rifles in battle, unlike a little fist fight the damage done is lethal.

Whites in the past were warriors, they were willing to bleed for what they wanted. They faced my ancestors in mortal combat rather than running to some 3rd party and demanding handouts. Courage earns respect even amidst disagreement.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Men don't use rifles, cowards do. There's no "courage" in it. There was no courage at all in the genocide and theft of this land from the people who were here before the whites, nor is there any courage in your selfishly refusing to support people in need in your nation. There's nothing remotely couragous or worthy of respect in greed and violence. Nothing.

[jackbelias]

You have never been in a firefight, that much is obvious. Come experience it, then tell me how easy it all was. Be the first white leftist in history to wear uniform in war. Learn what courage is.

I am selfish because I refuse to give my home away, I have a savings account, and I even bought an LCD TV. What is a little suburban white pansy going to do about it? Oh I know, run to the govt and demand I give it all up and move into a Teepee. You dont even have the balls to do your own stealing.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias More sick lies. The most liberal people I know are combat veterans. I serve the nation and the world far better than those dropping bombs on children in Afghanistan from video game drones.

NOBODY is stealing from your selfish ass by expecting a reasonable tax rate. You don't care about anyone but yourself, but want to wrap yourself in the flag and phony patriotism and pretend to be an American.

[jackbelias]

It is humanist to allow individuals to self govern. It is anti humanist to rule over them with an iron fist. The far right at least doesnt have want for any jackbooted govt with the authority to rob those who work. The left wants to tax me into poverty while assuming the right to decide upon how high I am allowed to climb.

Liberty is a virtue, if you dont like it feel free to pack your bags. Go back to Europe and rob your neighbors blind, I wont care, I promise.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

You don't WANT people to self-govern...only the rich. The far right DO have jackbooted government, there are more blacks in prison than in college, just because you can buy your way into "justice" doesn't mean our nation has justice. Tax you into poverty my ass. This is about taxing those who can afford it and ELIMINATING poverty, something you've no interest in at all, you blame the victims for poverty and want it to continue without help for them. You loath liberty.

[jackbelias]

I buy what? Im not in prison because I dont sell crack, I dont break into homes and rape the occupants, I dont carjack people.

Your welfare state created the American warzones that lead its people into prison. Those fatherless babies are regarded as paychecks by their single mothers, not children to be trained by responsible adults. My home town had poverty, but went 37 years without a murder. We had real parents and the govt wasnt daddy, we turned out better and learned to better ourselves.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Wow, you truly are a racist. Crack? Carjacking? Does EVERY criminal in your sick imagination have a black face? What about the war crimes of Bush and Cheney? The theft of Wall Street? White criminals don't concern you. Welfare didn't create poverty, your selfishness and bigotry did.

You didn't turn out better than anyone. You are not a better person than the poor you loath.

[dingorex]

Who said there are only 2 sides?

The market needs to be the arbiter of what is on the public airways (attendant local moral standards are not violated, e.g. no F bombs from liberal comedians). The federal government should consider that tax payer money already funds NPR on what were once bastions of great classical music for most of the day, now we must endure the leftist, anti Christian, anti Israel daily rants. Etc, etc.

[jackbelias]

Good point. I agree with abortion rights and I dont believe in an invisible man, yet I dont want to ban private property and take away everyones guns. Our constitution and the individual liberties central to our lives are sacred. Progressives call me "conservative" and "fascist" because I think all of the limits imposed upon govt by the bill of rights should be respected, I dont see a need for forced wealth redistribution. The world isnt really as 2 dimensional as progressives say it is.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@dingorex Despicable lies. Have you EVER listened to NPR? There's nothing REMOTELY leftist there. And the blasphemy continues, to say it's "Anti-Christian" to oppose the radical religious right (which NPR does NOT do) is wrong. Jesus was a liberal!!

[jackbelias]

Jesus was gay too, does that mean we should all blow eachother every Sunday?

What moral right do you have to take EVERYTHING I have? Why does this god favor you so much as to allow you to strip me of my every cent and leave me starving to death?

Why can I not make a good life for myself on earth and keep what I earn?

You communist pigs want it all for free, you dont want to work so you steal from those of us who do.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Jesus being gay is of course a preposterous assumption, nor does being gay have a thing to do with "blowing people." Grow the hell up, you clownish bigot.

To claim you have a "right" to hoard wealth while millions starve shows the ONLY "right" the radical right cares about is their OWN right to obscene wealth while not caring about the rights of others.

The despicable lie that people who care about others "don't want to work" proves you're without a clue.

[jackbelias]

Obscene wealth? How much is that? Who gets to define the sum?

Forced wealth redistribution amounts to robbing people. Choosing to drop out of school, join a gang and OD on rock or choosing to have a fatherless child at 14 isnt something others can rightly hold me responsible for. I dont assume the right to make choices for others, I simply demand that they take resposibility for those choices alone.

My choices lead to a little money in the bank, their choices lead to poverty.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Wealth distribution is NOT robbing people. Capitalism is robbing people. Bankers who make millions moving pieces of paper is robbery. HMOs getting billions to deny health care to the sick and hurt is robbery. The right bashing unions and refusing to pay the REAL workers is robbery. Choices? Bullshit. The poor in this nation have no choices, no opportunities. You still blame the victim. Their choices didn't cause poverty, your selfishness did.

[jackbelias]

Oh yeah we need soviet styl socialism, everyone makes the same check every week and only some work. Yeah christian justice, lets have some of that.

If I start a savings account and you empty it I call it stealing. Unions are a waste of time as they steal from workers, I once paid taxes to the teamsters and wasnt even granted the option not to join.

Choosing to drop out and have babies while under 18 is not a path to to a good income. Such morons rob themselves, blame them.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

@jackbelias Nobody is calling for soviet style anything, Senator Mccarthy. Try dealing with facts instead of cheap red-baiting. Christianity is about justice and conservatism is not.

Unions don't steal anything, they're a vital service to workers and worth every penny. No, you do NOT get the option to pay for the benefits you receive in a union shop, nor should you. THAT is fheft, you want the benefits but not to pay for them?

Again, you blame the victims of poverty with sick lies.

[dingorex]

Who says there are just 2 sides?

You unthinking drone.

[ColumbiaCowboy]

Yawn.

[buster81365]

Stop the Madness!! Obama must be STOPPED!!

[jbranstetter04]

How come whenever they run off a list of the most popular radio talk shows they never mention number three? Number three is the invisible man, but he is a very effective one nonetheless.

The ironic part of it all is that number three will be such a big part of stopping this from happening and he is never even mentioned.

[LadyCitizen]

Very informative, thank you. Keep us updated on this.

[Raycheetah]

The 1st Amendment to the US Constitution wasn't the first listed in the Bill of Rights for no reason!
