mark this one down my friend. If the libs bring back the fairness doctrine, i will be part of a large group of Americans that march on washinton to register my objection.
THAT you can count on even if I have to go in the hole to make it happen.
the fairness doctrine and what the dems are going to do vis a vis Unions and the removal of the right to a secret ballot arent marxist, they are stalinist tactics at best.
it is reprehensible that these things would even be considered in America.
AMEN!

In my opinion, the Islamic attack on Sept. 11 was not orchestrated by GWB but actually by Muslims. It happened while GWB was president and I think he did what he thought he should do. We can do a lot of second guessing now and there will be even more second guessing and Monday morning quarterbacking later but I think GWB acted on the collective intelligence of the U.S. and Europe and felt like we should take out Saddam Hussein.
As far as the economic crisis, GWB did not start that. We are now reaping what we sowed for years. Some called it the housing bubble and many knew it would burst in time. Under the Carter presidency it was decided to make housing available to more people. Lending institutions were pressured into making bad loans so more people could have houses. As money was freely available, houses were built larger and larger and sold for inflated prices. People were pressured into taking out loans that were larger than the price of the house. The frenzy began. More building, high appraisals, larger loans, etc. Some voices in government called for investigations into Fannie and Freddie and they were drowned out by those who were receiving funds from those two institutions. This couldn't last forever. Unfortunately for GWB, he was the President when the bubble burst. Since it happened during his term, he got blamed for the whole thing.
It was explained to me that under Carter there was a reinvestment act designed to boost housing in local communities. Banks had various ways in which they could fulfill their obligations in this area. After a significant amount of deregulation the banking industry cooked up these adjustible rate mortgages and used them as a vehicle to fulfill this requirement and inflate values.
it requires radio stations to provide political content equal in time and quality from both sides of the spectrium.
It is a blatant violation of the first amendment.
it is a suppression of free speach. period.
By requiring both sides equal time both are afforded free speech for all Americans to hear. But...if the money powers that be (let's assume they are liberal) want you to hear NOTHING but liberal spin on 9 out of ten stations that they own....that's all you'll hear. To get the conservative side you'll have to go watch or listen to some obscure programming that's strung together on a shoe string budget.
Do you believe that the media is largely controlled by Liberals? I'm not sure if it would be a bad idea to give both sides equal time. You might hear some more solid conservative rebuttals and comparisons in what is regarded now as the "liberal media".

I think all positions should be represented but private media should not be forced to represent anything that they don't agree with.

Ferd I know what the fairness doctrine is and was. I just wanted to see if Esther really knew because she answered your post so fast.
Btw I agree with you again. I think this agreeing has got to stop. Ha

Yes, Light I know what it is. Sorry I just saw your post.
I think it is one of the worst things that could happen to our country. As you can tell by the very liberal media they are one sided, and democrats, yet they would in all points and purposes be excluded from having to comply to this UNLESS they have reworded it.
This was an attempt to take Rush and his kind off the air. The liberals don't like their dirt being exposed, but it is ok to expose the conservatives.

The very name "Fairness Doctrine" is deceptive, since it is so patently unfair.
And the fact that it is geared specifically toward talk radio (where conservatives have an edge) and not other forms of media shows just how much of a Fascistic rule it is, intended to suppress free speech that the liberals don't like.
Nancy Pelosi is a strong supporter of this Doctrine. Look for her to introduce a fairness doctrine measure in 2009 if Barack Obama wins.
I heard one radio host refer to her as Nancy Mussolini. I think the name might actually fit her well.
