More on the "Fairness" Doctrine...

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." - The Constitution of the United States.

It is as the old saying goes: we never know what we have, until it is gone, and believe me, in the case of open airwaves, it certainly can be.

Case in point: read up on the history of the "Fairness" doctrine here, and ask yourself these questions...

Do you want the government to control what you listen to? Do you want the government to have an iron fist clenched over the great practices of democracy and freedom?

So often does the government try to stomp on our rights for the sake of "patriotism" or "fairness". Well, I've got a big, fat 'F' word for them, and it's...

FREEDOM.

Freedom to choose what you want to listen/watch, without worrying about how much control the government has.

Apparently, the government may not think that we deserve freedom, and need to have our resources spoon-fed to us, all in the interests of "fairness". Do not be fooled, my fellow Americans, for "fairness" in this life cannot be achieved, nor should it be. Freedom and fairness do not mix. Never have. This country wasn't called "the land of fairness". It was called "the land of opportunity", and that freedom of opportunity in the case of media can all be squashed if the government has its way.

With a few votes, and a flick of a pen: it can all be... gone.

My friends, can we draw the line here and say "enough is enough". Are we vocal enough to tell our government that they may take a portion of our income, but they will never take our media freedom (of what little we have left) ?

YES WE CAN.

If the fairness doctrine was passed, you'd have to read an opposing viewpoint starting right here, because you're too stupid to seek it out for yourself.
