How did you get by all these years without Glenn Beck to tell you how to think?
Just curious.
Did Glenn Beck tell me to watch that one? Naw, an old Army buddy sent it to me in an E-mail and I'll bet you haven't heard it clear through yet.
Now Beck did give a fine historical update about Israel and how it came about today that you should watch. Naw, you don't want to know about all that stuff when acting like you know is so much more fun.
It's the pattern -- "Will Jon Voight be able to say this in two years?" "Will Ray Stevens be able to sing this in two years?" and the grousing about the FCC guy -- just comes across as another Glennie overdose.
What is up with all these Threads, and will you, could you, in 2 years, boring, non original, and stale. Unless the Earth Ends in 2 yrs, which i hopefully doubt, i think, in 2 years, we still will be able to talk, to walk, to -----, disagree with each other, and to think for ourselves. Unless we lose freedom of expression, and freedom to think.
Will Ray be allowed to sing that song in two years? Yes.
Will you still be clinging to these same paranoid beliefs in two years, even though you'll have been proven wrong? Probably (if Beck says so, at least).
The lefties who try to tell everyone else how to live their lives are at it again. This time they want to attack free speech. If we want to live in a totalitarian society, we should let these jerks have their way. It's bad enough the biggest suppresors of free speech are college campuses.
"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is being urged to monitor "hate speech" on talk radio and cable broadcast networks. A coalition of more than 30 organizations argue in a letter to the FCC that the Internet has made it harder for the public to separate the facts from bigotry masquerading as news. The groups also charge that syndicated radio and cable television programs "masquerading as news" use hate as a profit model."

The FCC hears from these groups all the time, from both ends of the spectrum and every point in between. The FCC is not going to impede freedom of speech, dont worry. In fact it's supposed to be loosening the stranglehold the few huge media corporations have on radio (soon ).

You know, I don't mind people getting on the radio, and spewing all kinds of filth, no matter what side they are on.
However, IF their broadcasts can be linked to some form of illegal activity, or was the catalyst for some type of hate activity, then the broadcaster should be fined outright.
Do you remember when the news was mostly, just the news? Now we have news outlets that try to slant the news one way or another. And the justification for Fox news slanting is "well the rest of the media is liberal", which is like saying
"Its ok for me to hate Mexicans, because everyone else hates Blacks".
And I don't believe that all of the other media is biased. Yes, some of the opinion shows are biased, but when I watch the nightly news, most of the time its just the news. They've been pretty hard on our current President lately, and lets be honest, the last President deserved to be scrutinized.
But you get idiots on TV saying stuff like "Don't retreat, reload", and "Thats not my America", and "I understand why you are angry", those are all a radical mind needs as justification to do something stupid.
Words have consequences when you're in the national spotlight. If the President came on TV tomorrow and said "Its the job of every American to run illegal immigrants out of the country" he would be responsible for letting mob rule happen.
You don't give an idiot with a gun an excuse, ever. You may disagree with the Presidents policies, thats fine. And I know saying "I disagree with healthcare because I believe it will cost to much, and do to little" isn't catchy, but, thats no reason to say things like "don't retreat, reload".
