More on the Fairness Doctrine

This morning Townhall.com published an article about the recent defeat of the immigration bill. It was beat back by the voters who made calls and sent faxes and e-mails to their representatives.

So what message did the elected officals take from that? Do they think that maybe the people who voted them in might have the right idea? No, they still think they were right and TALK RADIO just stirred us "ignorant masses" up. So TALK RADIO needs to be silenced using the Fairness Doctrine. THAT'S THE WRONG MESSAGE!

Now as a Californian, I am not likely to lose the likes of Barbara Boxer or Diane Feinstein or Nancy Pelosi or Lynn Woolsey. This has become a socialist state. And with more and more illegal immigrants moving in, it's likely to stay that way. These moronic politicians have been elected simply because they are women and because they are liberal in their politics.

In truth, California can be conservative as Prop. 187 showed. It would have denied free social services to people who are here illegally. But an unelected judge (or panel of them) in the circuit court struck down the law as unconstitutional... How can that be?

Doesn't the constitution apply to citizens of this country? Legal citizens? If not, then why bother to have foreigners go through the steps necessary to become citizens? Why not just let people in the country no matter what? And once they are here, they are citizens and entitled to all the benefits this country has to offer... Oh, wait. That happens now!

I have a good friend who is trying to bring his new wife, her son from a previous marriage and their new baby into the country from China to become citizens here... It has been over 2 years and they still are not able to come here because of all the bureaucracy and red tape... details that Mexicans and Central Americans do not have to put up with by walking across the border.

So who's the problem? TALK RADIO? I don't think so! I may have wandered from my original point, but it's clear that I am willing to admit there is more of a problem than Barbara Boxer or Diane Feinstein will... and it's not because of TALK RADIO. It's because I see the results of illegal immigration first hand... the shut down of emergency rooms because illegals are using them as their private doctor free of charge... abuse of the food stamps program... free social services and housing... turning areas into slums... decline in the education system because teachers are forced to have a bilingual cirriculum. My sister, a hard left Democrat, feels the same way!

She is really upset that illegals have babies who are born here and because they are automatically citizens by birth, it allows the parents to stay here legally. This is a law we need to change. Just because people are born here does not give them the right to be citizens. People born here of legal citizens should be allowed to be citizens. THIS MUST BE STOPPED. Not TALK RADIO!!!

Liberals have every other media source. They have most of the newspapers (which is why circulation is dwindling) and television news stations (which is why Fox is beating them all in ratings) and magazines. We have TALK RADIO. If the Fairness Doctrine (which is anything but fair...) is reinstated, this is a brave new world with the Internet. Podcasts of all the shows are available from Rush to Glenn to whomever has a conservative talk show. Free speech will reign supreme and next time there's an election those politicians responsible for trying to stop it will lose their jobs! This is a government "of the people, by the people and for the people" not just liberals!
