Thanks Eric it worked this time. Sure enjoyed your writing too:-) I have been blogging and trying to get a good soapbox to shout from, but sometimes the sheer apathy and ignorance I encounter from liberals ( and even many so-called conservatives) is simply appalling. It seems that most people have forgotten how to think critically and use judgment in what sources of information to trust, and even more importantly, how to act on that information. We live in an age where rhetoric, the craft of making evil appear good, is the highest art, and the profane man becomes sacred…, or the One, as Obama is called. We are seeing the worst of Chicago machine politics being played out on the national stage, and it being called a campaign of hope and change. One of the most overtly racist candidates in recent memory, whose minister should give every patriotic American of whatever color pause, gets to brand all disagreement and criticism of him as racially motivated, to the point we dare not criticize anything about him lest we be thrown in jail or beaten up. You hit it on the head about free speech, Eric, as that is what the Left fears most: Citizens making informed, uncoerced choices of who they want as their leaders. I look for a return of the alien and seditions act in the first few months of an Obama reign, because I think the fairness doctrine is not enough to satisfy the liberals. They do not want to silence dissent, they want to destroy, preferably after a public disembowlment, any who dare raise their eyes from the dust and oppose divinity. After all, “they are who they have been waiting for”. Funny, isn’t it, how the Son of the Morning, even lucifer, had the same game plan, and attitude to those who opposed his plan. Even more worrying that Ayers dedicated his book to lucifer, “the first radical”, and might become Obama’s Education Secretary. How can we as a nation have sunk so low that a man like Obama can be considered fit for any public office, let alone on the verge of the Presidency, is beyond me. When I consider Jefferson’s words about the justice of God, I too, tremble at the wrath that awaits us. Thanks for fighting the good fight! Brian

You are close but incorrect on the fairness doctrine. The FCC abolished it in June 1987 (I attended that FCC meeting in DC that evening) because it was a relic of the old days of three major broadcasters. The advent of multi-channel cable providers left the FD as no longer necessary since more and more voices were being added to television (although still a sorry few major owners of the media). You are also incorrect in that the FD did not provide for equal time (30-minutes one side vs. 30-minutes the other), it mandated that both sides of a controversial topic had to be represented. Not equally, but somewhat fairly. The FD was loosely based on the standards of journalism at the time (which Fox News obviously has no clue about)

Your comments about why right-wing nutcase radio (which saved AM radio from extinction) is popular while left-wing radio is “boring” also misses the mark. You only need to look at booksales of Rush’s “way things ought to be” book (ghost written) which was replaced on the bestseller’s lists by sales of Al Frankin’s “Rush is a big fat idiot” book.

Your psyc 101 class would have told you that people prefer to hear information that confirms or supports their beliefs. Fox News took this fact of human nature to new lows in jouralistic practice in order to take on CNN in the ratings war and eventually was victorious - to the detriment of everyone.

By their nature, conservatives are more attracted to right-wing talk radio because they are less inclined to be open to new ideas (i.e. right-wing radio is a safe place to be) Reactionaries are the extreme of this type of personality. Liberals, by their nature, are more open to new experiences and ideas (except right-wing dogma) such as their general acceptance of different ideas and lifestyles (same-sex marriage okay with me). So left-wing nutjob talk radio does not have the attraction as left-wing news radio (can you say NPR) which is slightly less partisan and more likely to provide different points of view to at least some extent.

The lack of exposure in certain venues lately, not only the RJC debates, makes it evident.
Like I said above Obama will probably only be doing his rock star stage appearances from now on and try to stay away from any in depth engagement.
I’ll bet my huevos that he does not want to be confronted in public on any of the latest questions that deserve to be answered…
that we deserve an answer to.

I think that if you left those personal attacks up it would only help to bolster your point.
Yes/No ?

Thank you Micky.

I deleted the personal attacks on me. Most people know I am a happy 36 year old guy in great health with a great job and a lovely girlfriend and great friends.

Also, Obama’s surrogates themselves have explicitly stated that the Obama campaign wants them to stop debating the RJC. This is on the record fact, and can be verified.

“Of course he’s ultimately responsible but I assure you Eric, Obama has never ever heard of the RJC let alone set a course to evade its grasp.”

Hmmm….

Sensiblecenter.
Do you have some special insight into the workings of Obamas mind ?
You’re guessing about Erics temperment and physical status are actually wrong. I’ve known him for more than a year now and can say without guessing that hes one of the most decent people you’ll ever meet.
I wish I could see more Jews out there like him that vow to never ever let anything happen again like what happened to his family and mine.
My mother and Grandmother were Danish and yet they still became victims of hatred, ignorance, rape and violence by the Nazis in WW2. They had the tattoos to prove it.
When there is little doubt as to which party would support Jews and Israels interest the best it still boggles my mind how any Jew could vote for anyone in the democratic party as it is evident that republicans have always held a higher regard for Israel and Jews interests.
When a black man like Jesse Jackson whos interests run parallel to many of Obamas says that Jews should be concerned about an Obama presidency its time to open your eyes.
You as a Jew should be thankful that guys like Eric are out there keeping up awareness so that history does not repeat itself.
Consequently, maybe even saving your life one day.
If him and those like him have not already done so

Eric; This suppression of the RJC is really shocking to me, but it seems there is a new development every day.

Last week the night of the last debate, goons interfered with the Live Chat on Team Sarah for hours completely disrupting the free exchange of ideas.

Now there is an alert out to all bloggers, MySpace and Facebook members, etc:

The Morning Scramble (Part 1) - 10/22/2008…

Yes, it’s back for a very-limited engagement (unless I can figure out how to keep this from taking all day).

That doesn’t mean it’s a short-stack. I can’t do that to you.

Eric,
I fear, as I have stated in my blog, that the election of Obama spells the
end of Israel!

They are tough, spunky people. But without U.S. support, I think that it
just a matter of time.

I honestly relieve that the Obama/Pelosi/Reid team intend an over throw of Capitalism!
