It's Republicans that do that? Not the Democrats, who like to go on & on about freedom of speech, while trying to silence speech with which they disagree, with legislation like the (un)Fairness Act?
i thought the media was liberal, wouldnt the fairness act even out the playing field for the right?
Oh give it a rest with the conspiracy theories, will ya?
Do you trust Fox News?
White House: Obama Opposes 'Fairness Doctrine' Revival - First 100 Days of Presidency - Politics FOXNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/18/white-house-opposes-fairness-doctrine/ - broken link)
First, I never brought up any conspiracy theory. Second, I never said that President Obama wanted to enact the fairness doctrine, I said that Democrats want to. You can't pretend to not have heard the discussions about it in recent months. In the article you linked, it says, "The debate over the so-called Fairness Doctrine has heated up in recent days as prominent Democratic senators have called for the policies to be reinstated." I wonder if those prominent Democrat senators have spoken out in favor of free speech.
And that is exactly what I am getting at. If Those religious groups that fight so hard for others to do as they please had to give up the right to practice religion publicly, they would fight for it saying it is their right to practice their religion where they want. Most religious people only think of their way of life as being right and do not think that any other way should be practiced, especially if someone is happy.
What you have said makes no sense, for a large majority of Americans are religious. Some are happy, some aren't, some are liberal, some aren't, some are Republican, some are Democrat...and so on.

Actually, the version that most of those in favor of it prefer would NOT even anythnig out for the right, as it specifically targets RADIO, where the right is apparently very strong and for some reason the left can't seem to grab hold, and specifically avoids television, which is, as you say liberal. Funny that, eh?

I wouldn't sign the act or vote for it.
I doubt such an act would even get many signatures and I wouldn't be surprised to find those who took the petition around to be harassed and such.
People can pray wherever they want. Just don't try to make me join you.
You can be religious all you want...just don't impose your views of morality on me, don't knock on my door trying to convert me, don't ask me for donations or tithes, etc.
