This is also why AM radio does not work well for progressives.<br /><br />Yeah, the idea that someone can hear what you say, call you up, and tell you where you are wrong is soooo conducive to a bubble fantasy. Geez.<br /><br />> When the Fairness Doctrine is back in force there will be a whole new playing field.<br /><br />And here, of course, is the base mindset -- <b>Shut them up!! Drown them out!! Don't allow the opposition to speak!!</b><br /><br />Who, again, wants a bubble-fantasy world?<br /><br />These people don't grasp ANYTHING about being Americans, or what it is that makes this country work so successfully.<br /><br />Not just overall, but in basis -- The US Government is, among large nations, the oldest continuously operating government which hasn't had a radically changing revolution or a major restructuring in the last 220 years of its current design (I exclude small places like San Marino, Lichtenstein, or whatever). <br /><br />Since 1789, all the other major nations you can name have been through one or more major, completely restructuring revolutions, or at least a major restructuring like that which the UK did in the early 1800s, as it moved from an absolute monarchy to a figurehead monarchy under a parliamentary democracy.<br /><br />The FF's did something pretty impressive -- they produced an incredibly stable government, and that is one of the key underlying reasons for the success of America.<br /><br />But hey, what does that matter when we can massively f*** with it to "make it better"...?OBloodyHellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992539380115488567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6427940.post-70738994234391857742009-07-05T12:54:01.448-04:002009-07-05T12:54:01.448-04:00Well that was fun.
