Enemies of the Constitution Maybe it's time
for us to lock up the enemies of the Constitution. This thought
occurs to me because we have so many people running around
Washington, and elsewhere, including elected officials, who are
openly and actively subverting the very foundation of our
country's liberties.
Republicans:
Repent! Barack has been a busy boy. After
signing into law $787 billion of "Stim," as Obama
lapdog Keith Olbermann affectionately calls The Thing, the
president went on to propose $75 billion to further rig the
country's already rigged mortgage industry.
Peter
Boyles defended his repeated references during his previous day's
broadcast to Democratic U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette as "Vagina
DeGette" and "Vagina DeJet," TOTAL BULLSHIT - Pete
DID NOT say any such thing. I was a listener. Of course, consider
the source of the story.

"One idea Waxman's committee staff is looking at is a
congressionally mandated policy that would require all TV and
radio stations to have in place 'advisory boards' that would act
as watchdogs to ensure 'community needs and opinions' are given
fair treatment. ... Waxman and the FCC staff are also said to be
looking at ways to ease the 'consumer complaint' process, which
could also be used along with the advisory boards."
-The American Spectator
Just in case you were thinking that attempts by Barack Obama and
Nancy Pelosi to institute the so-called Fairness Doctrine were
simply about shutting-down Rush Limbaugh and conservative
talk-radio... THINK AGAIN.
It's actually much worse than we initially thought!
Now, according to the above report by The American Spectator, the
House Energy and Commerce Committee, under the leadership of
far-left Congressman Henry Waxman is talking about Congressional
mandated advisory boards of community watchdogs for conservative
talk-radio!
Sound familiar?
It should. The Soviet Union used to call them commissars...
political officers... politruk!
To put it another way, can you actually envision ACORN-like
"advisory boards" acting as "community
watchdogs" over Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or Laura
Ingraham... telling them, through the station owners that carry
their shows, what they can or cannot say?
And just in case you're thinking that such a scenario sounds a
little far-fetched, remember that our present economic crisis can
be directly traced back to liberals in Congress giving the green
light to so-called community-based organizations like ACORN -
that utilized draconian and potentially fraudulent strong-arm
tactics - to force banks into giving out tons of bad loans!
And for those of us with short memories, let us not forget that
liberals tried to pull Rush from Armed Forces Radio two years
ago.
Now with Obama in the White House, why stop with Armed Forces
Radio? The sky is the limit!
Does that upset you?
If so, TOUGH!
To quote The American Spectator again:
"Waxman and the FCC staff are also said to be looking at
ways to ease the 'consumer complaint' process, which could also
be used along with the advisory boards."
So if you don't like the new regime of talk-radio... SIT DOWN AND
SHUT UP!
Stop this totalitarian leftist take-over of talk radio. Use the

to Barack Obama and each and every Member of the Republican and
Democrat Leadership of the House and Senate!
Demand that they either explain to the American people why they
fear and loath the First Amendment, or stop their obstruction and
bring the Broadcaster Freedom Act of 2009 to the floor for a fair
up-or-down vote. Let the American people know which of our
elected officials support the First Amendment and which do not
support the First Amendment!
It's Just Not Conservative Talk Radio; They're Going After The
Internet Too!
It's not just idle talk... it's happening RIGHT NOW!
The American Spectator again:
"Senior FCC staff working for acting Federal Communications
Commissioner Michael Copps held meetings last week with policy
and legislative advisers to House Energy and Commerce Committee
Chairman Henry Waxman to discuss ways the committee can create
openings for the FCC to put in place a form of the 'Fairness
Doctrine' without actually calling it such."
And Waxman is not just going after conservative talk-radio.
Liberals have their sites set on the Internet too!
The American Spectator yet again:
"Waxman is also interested, say sources, in looking at how
the Internet is being used for content and free speech purposes.
'It's all about diversity in media,' says a House Energy staffer,
familiar with the meetings. ... Does one heavily trafficked
Internet site present one side of an issue and not link to sites
that present alternative views? These are some of the questions
the chairman is thinking about right now, and we are going to
have an FCC that will finally have the people in place to answer
them."
Can you imagine - as you read this urgent alert - what would
happen if we had to stop Telling you the truth right now and
present Waxman's side of the argument... or frame this argument
so that it would meet Waxman's approval... or Pelosi's
approval... or Obama's approval... or the approval of the goons
at ACORN?
We'd only have two choices:
Become propaganda arms of the Obama Administration or,
Go out of business
Both of those solutions are UNACCEPTABLE! And Waxman, Obama and
Pelosi know it too!
Only the moronic could fail to anticipate where the Act will lead
and only the ruthless and unprincipled could rejoice in this
betrayal of everything America is supposed to be.
The only acceptable solution is to FIGHT NOW and STOP Waxman,
Pelosi and Obama's plan to silence conservative talk-radio and
the Internet dead in it tracks!

Obama Told Us: "You Can't Just Listen To Rush Limbaugh And
Get Things Done."
Now that liberals have succeeded in moving the United States onto
the road to Socialism with the passage of their so-called
"stimulus package," liberals need to make their
far-left policies stick!
And they do that through control of the media... through control
of everything the American people sees and hears... we call it
propaganda!
Liberals already control the major television networks and
newspapers. The thorn in their side is conservative talk radio...
THEY MUST CONTROL IT TOO!
Liberal columnist Bill Press recently lamented in a Washington
Post column that greedy radio station owners are conspiring to
shut down liberal voices on the radio.
Of course, that's an outright falsehood. Conservative talk-radio
is popular precisely because it is the ONLY broadcast medium
today where conservative voices and opinions CAN be heard. As
Rush Limbaugh is found of saying, "I don't need to give
equal time because I AM equal time."
Press doesn't like the fact that conservative talk-radio is so
popular and states without equivocation:
"And that must change. Not necessarily by bringing back the
Fairness Doctrine, but by requiring owners of broadcast licenses
to serve the general public. We need government oversight by the
FCC of radio station owners... ." [Emphasis Mine]
But you haven't heard it all. Press goes on to disingenuously
say:
"Forget all the right-wing hysteria about liberals trying to
'hush Rush.' What the whole flap over the Fairness Doctrine boils
down to is this: Companies are given a license to operate public
airwaves - free! - in order to make a profit, yes, but also,
according to the terms of their FCC license... Stations are not
operating in the public interest when they offer only
conservative talk. Make room for progressive voices on the radio.
That's what the American people want. How do you like that, Mr.
Hannity?"
Allow me to translate:
The GOVERNMENT OWNS the airwaves and the GOVERNMENT determines
what the people want. Don't give me any of that hogwash about
liberal talk-radio failing on a national level and don't stand
there and tell me that something as arbitrary as ratings are any
indication of what the public wants. The American people are too
stupid to know what they want. The American people are too stupid
to know what is in the public interest. The American people are
hysterical right-wing morons and we (liberals) need to tell them
what they want to see and hear!
But don't take our word for it. Camille Paglia, a raging leftist
academician who, to be totally fair, often exhibits intellectual
honesty put it this way:
"Too many Democrats have become arrogant elitists, speaking
down in snide, condescending tones toward tradition-minded middle
Americans whom they stereotype as rubes and buffoons. But the
bottom line is that government surveillance of the ideological
content of talk radio is a shocking first step toward
totalitarianism. ... let's get real: Liberals have been pathetic
flops on national radio... Instead of bleating for paternalistic
government intervention, liberals should get their own act
together. Radio is a populist medium where liberals come across
as snide, superior scolds." [Emphasis Mine]

Press isn't the only one on the left talking about
"government surveillance of the ideological content of talk
radio."
Clearly Waxman, Obama, Pelosi and liberals in Congress are
preparing to gang up on free speech and bludgeon it to death with
blunt instruments - all in the name of Mom, apple pie, and
fairness.
Pardon the pun, but in recent weeks, liberals have instituted a
full court press on free speech. Upon reading Press' column,
Senator Tom Harkin could not contain his glee.
Harkin told Press:
"By the way, I read your Op-Ed in the Washington Post, I
took it into my office and said 'there you go, we gotta get the
Fairness Doctrine back in law again.'"
Bill Clinton, while on the Mario Solis Marich radio show recently
said:
"Well, you either ought to have the Fairness Doctrine or we
ought to have more balance on the other side, because essentially
there's always been a lot of big money to support the right wing
talk shows and let's face it, you know, Rush Limbaugh is fairly
entertaining even when he is saying things that I think are
ridiculous...."
During that show, Clinton also lambasted the "blatant
drumbeat" against the Obama-Pelosi so-called "stimulus
bill."
Get it? Liberals are hopping mad because AM radio actually
permitted the truth to be told!
Every good leftist knows that if you are going to socialize
health-care and nationalize the banking industry and totally
transform a country into a Socialist Nation, you MUST control the
media!
Liberal Senator Debbie Stabenow recently told Bill Press:
"I think it's absolutely time to pass a standard. Now,
whether it's called the Fairness Standard, whether it's called
something else -- I absolutely think it's time to be bringing
accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has
talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know,
that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in
this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards
put in place."
Press then asked Stabenow if she would push for Senate hearings.
"Can we count on you to push for some hearings in the United
States Senate this year, to bring these owners in and hold them
accountable?"
Stabenow responded:
"I have already had some discussions with colleagues and,
you know, I feel like that's gonna happen. Yep."
Later, the liberal media came to Stabenow's rescue and it was
reported that she was "backing down" from that
statement.
But how does one "back down" from: "I have already
had some discussions with colleagues..."?
By the way, Stabenow's husband, Tom Athans, is a co-founder of
Air America, the left-wing Al Franken radio network that went
bankrupt because the American people already get enough left-wing
propaganda from the major television networks, the print media
and government controlled PBS and NPR.
Make no mistake, liberal elites intend to effectively take-over
the media and SILENCE conservative voices on talk-radio and the
Internet. If we are going to STOP them, the time to TAKE ACTION is
NOW!

STRIKE TWO!
On the heels of naming gun-banner Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of
Staff, Barack Obama once again puts the lie to his supposed
support of the Second Amendment by selecting former Clintonite
and gun-hater Eric Holder as attorney general.
