You have got to read this! No kidding. In case you missed the link, here it is again: * I’ll be here when you get back. Honest. I’ll wait. You gotta read it.
Back? Good for you. Now, imagine something. You’re talking with an old and trusted friend, someone whose company you enjoy and look forward to just spending good time in good conversation. After a half hour or so of uplifting (or sometimes maddening) discussion of life, love, or the world at large, there is a tap on your back and a grimey left-wing elbow gouges its way between you and your friend. You are informed that your first half-hour is up and that you now have to listen a half-hour of opinion from someone who opposes everything in the entire makeup of your life and that of your trusted friend.
Who? Well, the federal government believes in “fairness,” (ie censorship) and has re-established the Buttinsky Fairness Doctrine. It doesn’t matter that the left elbow opinion can’t breathe on its own–no one cares, you see–the Fairness Doctrine is there to make sure that if no one will to the soapbox-in-the-park then, by God, the soapbox will come to them.
I guess what’s got me up in arms–actually, I’m always armed in one sense or another–is that the usual whiners are involved, as you will have already seen if you followed the above link.
But the killer in illegal legislation like this is what the newly-elected liberal Congress is trying to do to your rights to free speech and to your right to petition the government. Thanks to thomistic.blogspot.com/, whose DumbOx Daily News is a real treat (more…)
