Right now Chavez is more pissed than ever at us due to Columbia potentially allowing long term leases to us of their military bases.
What does Rush say about that? A plot to observe and learn socialism?


Dude...you are just not getting the point here. I don't give a damn if Rush (or anyone else) is the one that brought this up...the TRUTH of the matter is that we now have a Socialist in charge of a very critical part of the US PRIVATE communications...and he doesn't like the fact that Americans prefer their radio and TV stations being private...HE wants control over them...

"In 2006 while at the liberal Center for American Progress Lloyd wrote a book entitled, Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America. In the book he presents the idea the private broadcasters (private business) should pay a licensing fees which equals their total operating costs so that public broadcasting station can spend the same on their operations as the private companies do. By doing so he hopes to improve the Corporation for Public Broadcasting currently at $400 Million for 2009."

OK, so now your favorite rock station has to pay the Gov't a tax that is EQUAL TO THEIR TOTAL OPERATING BUDGET...and in turn Lloyd wants to use that $$ to fund his "Progressive" radio stations (btw, if you don't know it already, "Progressive" is liberalspeak for SOCIALIST).

Think that music station could stay in business very long having to spend twice as much to operate?

Forget the damn issues between Repub's and Democrats...worry about what Obama is doing, RIGHT NOW, that is going to destroy the FREEDOMS of the American people.

Freedom of Speech? No, not for much longer.
