The Fairness Doctrine

The Fairness Doctrine is a perfect example of what is at the heart of liberalism.

SEN. DURBIN:

“It’s time to re-institute the Fairness Doctrine,” said Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.). “I have this old-fashioned attitude that when Americans hear both sides of the story, they’re in a better position to make a decision.”

Oh coarse, it is never their fault. When a liberal fails, it can never be their fault. As my former Senator implies, Americans are clearly too dumb to hear both sides without being forced to. They turn on Rush Limbaugh and are immediately a victim, but they read the NY Times and are well informed citizens in a democracy. This is one of the great tragedies throughout that ideology. They refuse to question their own premise. LBJ tries to eradicate poverty through his "Great Society" of big government programs and look where the poor neighborhoods are today. Their not blind, they see those results. They just pass them off to the tone of not having enough funding. It is like hunger in Africa. Money is great, but it can only feed so many for a period of time. Jesus said if you teach a man to fish he will be feed for a lifetime.

Remember in 2004 when John Kerry clearly lost? They didn't blame themselves. They went to Ohio and declared voter fraud. Bush won by about 130,000 votes. Meanwhile in Wisconsin (where my cousin worked for the Bush campaign), Kerry won by a slim 10,000 votes. Wonder where voter fraud should be investigated? After they lost that pathetic challenge, they went on to just attack Rove and Bush. It was the Swift Boating and smear tactics. John Kerry was clearly in touch with your average American. After all he did go hunting and said "Is this where I can get me a huntin' licence."

Their logic allows the average American to be too stupid for personal responsibility. The government needs to take care of that. So that ideology also allows individual Americans to be deceived and stupid when they reject a liberal (as has been done frequently since McGovern). Because of the tragedy that occurs when a premise is never questioned, their opposition to free speech in the "Fairness Doctrine" is right there along side them.

Support Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana in his bid to effectivly kill the Fairness Doctrine once and for all.
