Yes They Can Take Our Liberty

A caller to the Billy Cunningham radio show recommended the following You-Tube (Mark Levin may have mentioned it too):

I hope some of those who get their political news and ideas from John Stewart and Stéphan Colbert listen to this. They should listen to Mark Levin and Billy Cunningham a few times too. They might have a better idea who and what they voted for when they pulled the lever for Obama (if they haven't figured it out yet).

Doctor Dean Edell's Economics Lecture Series

It is not easy to lose patience with radio doctor Dean Edell, after all he is a doctor. However, his digressions into economics and politics show his utter lack of understanding in these areas. If he wishes to join the ongoing debate between freedom and the progressive movement, he should familiarize himself with the issues and the arguments thus far advanced. He is disappointed and dismayed with those who oppose social justice and helping people. By equating these two ideas, he has already fallen into the trap of the progressives. Progressives use the fact that there are people in need of our help to enlarge their control over industry, banking, the environment, and in short every aspect of our lives. Communists blatantly used calls for social justice to advance revolution, and of course their own power. Progressive are only slightly more subtle. We are saying enough is enough.

Everyone wants to help the needy but we do not have to sacrifice our freedom. The history of the 20th Century teaches that generosity and freedom go hand in hand. Who has been more generous to all that the Land of the Free? The case against the progressive movement is made stronger each day by their own actions. Dr. Edell's discourse does not transcend the talking points of the left. By the way he is not paying attention to the benefits of dietary supplements such as herbs and vitamins either. He reads many studies but extends his conclusions far beyond the studies' actual results. He says essentially that most if not all supplements are useless. Just as medically he cannot see beyond the pages of the AMA approved journals, politically, he does not see beyond Colbert, Olbermann, and John Stewart.

Air America Bites the Dust

Liberal radio talk network, Air America, has gone out of business. The reason for this according to radio show host Michael Savage, is that America is tired of hearing over and over the same liberal drivel. Savage describes the typical tone of their discussion as"...snide and sneering..." toward the traditional views and attitudes that makes America and Americans great. On one of their programs a few months ago, a conservative caller questioned the liberal view that government can and should provide free health care to everyone in the country. After the two hosts asked him a few questions about his background, they proceeded to psychoanalyze him. They seemed to believe that to question liberal policies, one had to have a mental disorder. They were quite understanding of this poor soul who, because of his early travails, had developed a psychological disorder that caused him to be insensitive. They made no attempt to address the issue he had raised. (Does the phrase "effete impudent snob" come to mind?)

Recently, all media outlets have experienced business difficulties. Many liberal print news outlets have gone out of business. Conservatives have explained that not only is there internet competition, but the public no longer blindly support the liberal editorial policies of most newspapers and magazines. This is only partially true. Many reading and thinking individuals in this country, unfortunately, do support liberal editorial policies. However, most commentators neglect the explanation of supply and demand. If the country is divided 50-50 between liberal and conservative, then there should be about that distribution of attitudes in the media. However, the division seems to be about 95% liberal medial outlets and 5% conservative. If the same commentary and spin on the news is available on the television news outlets for instance, then why should the liberals bother with getting it from the liberal newspapers? In other words, there is an over supply of liberal media. The conservatives have only Fox television, talk radio, and a handful of newspapers. (Even Fox news, in this writers view, accepts many of the liberal assumptions of the lamestream media.)

Besides on the traditional editorial page, most liberal outlets put a slant on every aspect of the news. They still talk about Obama changes as 'reform.' Commentators on the right may call them measured and cynical tactics to bring about socialistic control, but they do not claim to be unbiased disseminators of objective facts. There are also entertainment shows that satirize both the left and the right (with the same 95-5% split). How often does AKA Liebowitz (John Stewart), Colbert, or Overbite-Countdown to No Ratings satirize the left? With so many and varied liberal mouthpieces, many are bound to be nonviable economically, especially if they depend upon advertising from a highly depressed business sector. The movement to have taxpayer funds support failing news outlets only serves to embolden newspapers in their liberal leanings. Government support would only discourage them from giving a voice to both sides of the issues. In spite of the US Constitution, government funds for newspapers seems just fine to most liberals. (Give me a break.)
