If capitalism means that my honest 40-hour work week pays a "living wage" while someone else's questionably honest workweek pays millions yearly, then give me socialism. Am I being sarcastic? yes and no.

And if I hear someone say the fairness doctrine will "silence" conservatives one more time ... good god. Since when did an attempt at a 50/50 split in airtime equal the ideas of "silence" and "destroying free speech" ? I mean, come on. Just be up front and flat out say you think a 50/50 split is wrong and un-American. Don't use hyperbole about "the evil fascists are trying to take away our free speech".

Liberals .....why can't you just have a successful forum for your views without taking free speech away from Conservative voices? There's plenty of air waves out there , get out there and get an audience of your own. Oh wait a minute "YOU CAN'T" can you ???

By the way 50/50 is wrong when you have to use legislation to create so-called "Fairness", because your "Liberal ideas" aren't marketable.

In the free marketplace of ideas YOU LOST! Why don't you stop whining about liberals and stop being such a sore loser? Maybe you'd be more comfortable at world net daily where everyone wears the same paranoid, Bush is a misunderstood martyr, black helicopter, gays are going to eat our babies, gun fetishist coo-coo hats.

Care to explain how a radio station is marketable before it exists?
Don't you have to give people a radio station first and then find out if it's marketable?

I drove from 1000 miles through the Midwest and I didn't find 1 liberal radio station.
But I found about 10000 republican radio stations.
Sounds to me like a monopoly.
